doctors are medical professionals, I believe that nurses are highly skilled tradesmen/women.

Hey after reading what a lot of people would say on this board I used to think anyone who was serious about lifting weights could call themselves a bodybuilder. Then I thought about it for 45 seconds and formed my own opinion.
That’s whats nice about opinions. You can change them and it will have no affect on anything. Unless youre a congressman or someone special like that.

Not to re-ignite this whole debate but…
I think that anyone who is serious about their training/diet - and makes it a lifestyle, and makes real, noticeable progress - could be called a bodybuilder…
They just couldn’t be called a “competitive bodybuilder”.

To be 100% honest, I got better advice from Levelheaded on there about rehabbing my knee than 2 different physical therapist that I spent 10 in person sessions with each.
Not saying you were knocking the forum, just giving it the props it deserves.
Edit: I’ve since found a 3rd that is finally decent and getting me results. There’s a fuck-ton of clueless PT’s out there.[/quote]
depends on what they are good at sam. I am certifed to intubate people, and it is within my scope, but I have intubated only about a dozen times in a 17 year career. despite that i am technically “qualified” to do it does NOT mean you want me doing it to you if you are in the ED and going into respiratory failure.
if your knee was do to lifting sports type stuff, PT’s who are more used to dealing with little old ladies who’s knees give out after 80 years are not going to do that much for you., [/quote]
That’s a whole other topic I don’t want to get into considering the debacle my ACL surgery/recovery turned into. I’m pissed. I’ll just say I tore it playing football and my PT(s) treat every patient like an 80 year old woman despite my feedback of needing to be pushed harder.

Yes Bonez on its own that post maybe wasn’t much help but explains the publics misinterpretation of bodybuilding.
This definition is responsible for the general publics misconception of bodybuilding. If Joe average sees a jacked up guy swaggering down the street in a tight t-shirt they will likely assume he is a bodybuilder because it is apparent he does weights. An easy mistake for the uninitiated to make IMO. People in ‘the know’ obviously have a much more sophisticated understanding of weight lifting related endeavors, although a bulked up ‘off season’ bodybuilder may well look like, and be reasonably mistaken for a powerlifter.
If a writer writes for ten years before he becomes published does he only become a writer the day he gets his book published and starts earning royalties? I would say he becomes a ‘professional’ writer that day, if he only had articles published then maybe he becomes an ‘accomplished’ writer that day.
When a guy enters his first bodybuilding competition does he only become a bodybuilder that day? No, he becomes a competitive bodybuilder that day, if he places or wins something then he is certainly accomplished to a degree at least (anyone who steps on stage or into a ring or pursues their endeavors with a passion wins my respect) and when/if he starts making his living out of it he then becomes a professional bodybuilder.
So yes, I think you can be a bodybuilder without competing.

Youre equating writing professionally with professional bodybuilding. The caveat is that amateur bodybuilding exists. NPC. THose guys dont make money like the published writer does.
Ive said it once before. Analogies arent going to work here. Bodybuilding is a unique endeavor.
Your analogy would work if you compared the guy who has notes written down of all these ideas about character development, plot lines, chrolongy of events to the guy who actually takes those notes and puts it all together into a book (physical version or on a computer). Getting published equates with turning pro, not with stepping on stage. Youre not a book writer (or poetry writer; same criteria as above, or article writer, etc) until youve actually written the book.
Im not criticizing your analogy, Im just showing you how it doesnt apply. I cant think of one analogy that works. If you can, go for it. Im interested. Maybe it’ll change my mind about the definition of a bodybuilder. [/quote]
What about bloggers? Most aren’t published authors in any sense, but they write on an “amateur” (according to more established people in the craft) level.
I thought we were discussing strawmen?
Oh, and to anyone else…do NOT say that three times in the mirror.
Holy crap.

…Or self-publishers on Kindle via Amazon or for that matter self-proclaimed internet bodybuilding gurus.
I’m gonna say this and leave it at that…some of the posters here have been successful at turning this forum into nothing but a bunch of whining kids who seem jealous and upset by anyone who stands out and disagrees with them.
I mean, I can understand being challenged, but this bullshit where I get called out for pages has gotten really fucking old…not only that, most of you are just flat out wrong and lying your asses off now.
LOL at dental schools that are only 2-3 years long. I know what it took to get through school and it was just as tough as what the med students were going through on differently focused material. There isn’t one in the country less than 4 years…but clearly people with no medical backfgrounds at all know more than me about my own profession.
Have a valid fucking argument before you step to me again.
You make yourselves look like idiots if you don’t.
This thread is truly entertaining.
I love it.

WTF?
Is the patient pregnant?
If so, what month?
What is the medical history?
What are they allergic to?
How old are they?
What is their BP?
Look, jackass, no doctor on the fucking planet worth anything is going to diagnose someone without the info given above.
I played your game because it was straight forward enough to have only one real answer. You are just pissed because it got answered.
Would I give Vancomycin to someone allergic to it?
Does it interfere with any other medication?
I even posted my cirriculum in school just in case you were wondering what I am skilled in.
Get a fucking clue.[/quote]
I really tried to let this go…but it is too easy.
is the pt pregnant-
I guess this is a fair question, since I did not stipulate pt’s sex, but one of the first things I had to get over when I switched to Emergency care about 8 years ago was to get all hysterical over the pregnant pt. any doctor worth his salt will tell you that the best way to save or protect a fetus health is to save/protect the mother. I can’t think of a single situation where we withheld the appropriate abx therapy because pt was pregnant. how much worse would the baby be off if the mom gets septic?
what month- see above.
medical history-
ok, of course, but I can’t see any situation where we would not treat an obvious evolving infection/abscess and creeping cellulitis with the appropriate abx regardless of any exotic medical history.
what are they allergic too-
again, of course. do you really think if you would have responded with clindo and vanco I would have came back with “WRONG!!! pt is allergic to vanco and clindo!!! bwahaahahaha!!!” really, really?
how old are they-
if it was a pediatric pt or pt with renal issues, it would affect dosing, but I am pretty sure it would not affect the type of abx would it? I think I am right on this one.
what is the bp-
I stated that other than fever and tachy, pt vs were otherwise normal. if pt bp was low or high, it still would not change giving appropriate abx therapy…it would affect other things you might add to it, like fluid bolus if low, or anti-hypertensives if high, again, secondary to primary problem. if the pt’s bp was crashing, could mean pt is septic, that would only mean the appropriate abx should be given that much sooner, even though initially the abx might drop his bp even lower (if septic) but you would still give them regardless because it will only get much much worse(death) if pt is septic and you do not treat with abx.
already addressed the allergic thing.
medication interactions?
really? so a pt is got a raging cellulitis with fever and mouth neck and face involvement, and you would hold off on appropriate abx therapy because it interacts with one of my 6 different bp meds? “come back in three days sir, stop taking your lisinopril, and if you are not dead of sepsis or hypertensive crisis, we will then treat your infection”
I am not saying that the patient might be on some medication that the appropriate abx might not jive with, but in practice I just do not see us withholding appropriate tx of a perhaps serious worsening infection with abx because of other medication they are taking… by the book I guess it can happen, but I just never see it go down like that.
