What an ordeal Robert … hospitals can sometimes be dangerous places. Prayers for a quick recovery, healing, and feeling better soon.

YES!
Surreal in the extreme.
I saw the ā€œpoliciesā€ being implemented on me.
Not only were the diseases a problem; so were the cures.
My thinking cap had suffered through sleepless night, after nignt,
Yet I had to get through to the ā€œdoctorsā€, what needed to bo done,
I’ve been through this nightmare twice!
I knew to cure.
I told them!
They ingnored.
I actually was discharging myself self; when they finally relented to using a saline bag solution ā€œcureā€. They relunctently did the procedure.
It worked!
They took credit, of course.

Much more to it.
Very shortened version.

This is quite uncanny. Same thing here: abscess under the wisdom tooth root: OR, central anesthesia, extraction, draining, iv antibiotic drip.
Call it serendipity, quantum entanglement or ā€œsomething is in the airā€

I hope you better now Robert, I am almost there. :pray:

Thanks fort his nice find on doc. book.

… it would be interesting to know how this particular book ends up on Holt’s bedside table and even more what prompted him to write a review and post it publicly. Let us ruminate a bit on the possibilities.

  1. Gee, I accidentally ran into this title at a bookstore and thought it looked interesting.
  2. Feral House touts itself as a vendor of ā€œHigh-quality books on forbidden topics.ā€. Doesn’t really seem like a publishing house whose catalogs were occasionally browsed by someone such as Holt.
  3. Is there evidence that Holt has had an independent (meaning not an assigned) interest (either
    long or short term) in ā€œforbidden topicsā€?
  4. In academia (if the author(s)/editors(s) is/are alive) it is often (but not always the case) that when one is going to review a book or paper that the reviewer (often but not always) contacts the author and or publisher that one is preparing a review and offers to send a preprint copy to them. Again, this is not always the case. Curious as to whether either occurred in this case.
  5. Dangerous Intellectuals? Is this a reference to Holt? … to Dr. Farrell? If Dr. Farrell, why would Holt place Dr. Farrell in such a category?
  6. Is Holt placing Dr. Farrell in such a category to be considered a compliment? … or is Holt doing a service in providing, under the guise of a ā€œsimple book reviewā€ a public heads-up warning about Dr. Farrell’s works to others?

… please join in and continue the rumination. Maybe it is just me, but given his ā€œbiographyā€ (see below) something seems like I’m walking around with a slice of bologna in each shoe. … see Steve Martin on the bologna business.

QVBB, synchronicity for me also. I just had a root canal 1 1/2 months ago. I also had problems, my cheek and under my chin were swollen almost a week. I had to ask for antibiotics one day later. I also get to buy a $1200.00 crown that came off during procedure. Fancy equipment doesn’t equal good outcomes.
I am happy I didn’t experience what you and Robert went through. It sounded terrible, especially hospitals.
We all love our teeth! And have a close attachment to them.:grin:
We should have a national teeth day.

Literally just got back out of the ER (6th visit in four months). This time was very similar reason to yours. It’s something that seems like one needs experience to manage as the doctors/staff are MOSTLY robots themselves. Even given the (sometimes necessary) litigious nature of American people…subtle, pragmatic changes in policy could make a world of difference between a few miserable nights and a pleasant recovery.

Hope your recovery goes well…It’s getting to the point that sometimes one might be too sick to risk going to the hospital…

Edit: When I get to feeling better I’ll likely do a submission about the hallucinations experienced there…horrible…

I took the book review as positive. Educating people in his summation.

Dr. Farrell saying many are awakening and protests/revolts happen when the masses are unhappy. True.
I do think we’re heading for some chaos, it’s one their favorite tools.

I’m not familiar with the magazine or the reviewer. I don’t trust many of these people.

… members or associates of the CFR in general have never struck me as ā€œhelpful educatorsā€. … and why does Holt bring to the ā€œgeneral publicsā€ attention, in this case, long after the fact of the now entrenched beyond repair or removal in situ consequences of what Dr. Farrell describes? Holt states that we ā€œcan still change the gameā€. Will (has) Holt go(ne) on to offer ideas about how to bring change and remove the consequences of the actions of such ā€œVipersā€? Holt’s background leaves one with the idea that in essence he worked for, benefitted from, and may in fact still be employed by and be benefiting from the ā€œVipersā€ in a capacity such as this? Is it clear from the review that Holt is "agin’ " the financial situation in which we find ourselves? He appears to agree with Dr. Farrell’s assessment but he leaves the situation at the gates of ā€œThe City of Londonā€ without explicitly saying that, "Oh yeah, by the way we here in the US are being run by the same ā€œplaybookā€ and that the system it spawned is an abomination. Sorry, but the ā€œtrust moleculeā€ is long gone.

… but like Dennis Miller, ā€œI could be wrongā€.

I’m not sure, but would the designation (ret) after his name refer to him being ā€œretiredā€ (in which case, maybe he has time to read books?)

I’ve had months of problems post crowning of a tooth, I always wonder about patterns like this including some of the material Ms. Granogger (Solari) talks about in terms of their being able to transfer energy patterns of disease as a sort of passenger via other mediums. I’m sure I’ve botched the explanation, but hopefully you understand the gist of what I’m saying.

I just did a quick look on his Substack and right away I see two people commenting. One of whom I’ve had second thoughts about.
Networking between people is another tool ā€˜they’ use.
I always wonder who is being placed in front of us. Super fast algorithms are helpful.

June, you might be right. But I think we are more powerful. We can do the same using love and offering our heartfelt good will to others. Prayer works! I’m praying for everyone here to be circled with loving energy. Light is always stronger than the darkest dark. And sending Robert loving, healing light.

Not a place for the feint of heart; especially, if yout ā€œhealthā€ savvy.
A real real dance with the devil.
Certainly don’t want to get tied-up, in that suicide machine again!

the only retired I ignore; are the spies.
Once a spy… ?

I suspect if anything is not right; it’s in the novocaine.
