Exactly. Do you think you are suggesting some novel treatment by telling him that it would be beneficial to gain weight?Nearly any experimental trial that makes it to the clinical stage will be shown to have SOME effect in SOME [sub-] populations.Don't believe everything you read in the primary literature. You have to be able to read these articles comprehensively and interpret the results for yourself. Look for weaknesses in their analysis and interpretation. Don't just take everything they say and automatically agree with them. In many cases--no, not all, but many--the authors are pushing an agenda and data can be very susceptible to manipulation (given a large enough sample size, pretty much any bivariate analysis can be shown to have a p < 0.05). Do you think the New England Journal of Medicine is more likely to accept a study which found statins have a "statistically significant" effect on cholesterol, or one that found no difference at all?/biostatistics lecture you shouldn't need as a healthcare professional

I am not suggesting a trial drug, just looking at possible answers. All I stated he could be healthier at 125lbs. then I get critized for saying that. There is a ton of articles in Pub med as well on the CCF web sites the weight gain is beneficial to a certain point. It improves lung functioning and helps the immune system fight infections. People can pick on me all you like I don't care but don't knock my nursing judgment or make cracks about the type of nurse I am because you have no clue. When I have observations or any thoughts that I present to our team or the doctors I back up the data that I collected, or most times the doctors respect my comments based on my experiences. I also been right on 2 previous counts with Chrozzo on other things. any ways subject is closed no more on this as it turning into a big Drama

No one criticized you. As you mention, there is a lot of published information stating that many CF patients benefit from eating more to overcome malabsorption issues. It is a simple medical fact. Your original reply was "your are a rack of bones, it's a wonder that your not healthy. my god Eat." Even if it was not what you actually meant, it is still a pretty ignorant statement, especially coming from a nurse. It is obvious that he would have been advised and treated by doctors in the hopes of gaining weight for his entire life.

I took a shit this morning that may have more useable content than anything you've ever posted on this site. Re-read your original post in this thread and see if you can't figure out why everyone jumped down your throat.

now honesty, would you like it if someone said you cheat when you deal, or I hate you. Mind you many people do say that so you shrug it off. But when they complain about your attitude or your manners, would you not take it as an insult, and try to make then more satisfied. It's how I feel when someone attacks my nursing judgements

Now I see what you are talking about, Okay you got a good point. How I said it was wrong. but I was joking with Chrozzo and He is well aware of that. I wasn't talking so much as a nurse more as a friend and a mother Hen. But that's not an excuse so I was wrong and I will watch how I will state things in the future. So I do apologized for that.

First I thought that you might have been referring to god with that first bolded word. Then I got to the second bolded word and assumed that you capitalize every 'H' due to some odd childhood trauma. Finally I got to the last bolded word and just got confused.As for the rest of the confusion in the thread, I think the original uproar wasn't just because you were giving Chrozzo ridiculously obvious advice...it was because you said it in a thread about the fact that he's trying to gain weight. Here, wait, let me replay it:Chrozzo: I'm trying to gain weight. I weigh very little.rcgs59: You are quite underweight! You need to gain some weight! fin
