Our Hospital Visit: A Funny Moment and a Doctor's Advice

   

 Good morning, readers! Recently, my family and I had a visit to the hospital as my wife was scheduled for a thyroid procedure. However, we were fortunate enough to receive some unexpected advice from her doctor. As it turns out, the procedure wasn't deemed necessary, and the doctor recommended an alternative approach.

During the consultation, the doctor explained that based on her experience and observations, the procedure wouldn't provide any additional benefits. Instead, she suggested that my wife should continue with regular sonograms. This advice came as a relief to us, as it meant avoiding an unnecessary procedure and its associated risks.

Interestingly, our visit to the hospital took an amusing turn when our autistic son, whom we affectionately call "JJ," claimed to be a doctor. In the midst of the serious discussion, JJ burst into loud laughter and started yelling. His unexpected outburst caught us off guard and brought a smile to our faces.

As parents, we often find joy in the unique perspectives and moments that our children with autism bring into our lives. JJ's laughter and excitement reminded us of the importance of finding humor even in the most serious situations. It was a lighthearted moment that helped alleviate some of the tension we were feeling.

While JJ's claim to be a doctor was clearly a playful exaggeration, it served as a reminder that sometimes laughter can be the best medicine. In that moment, his innocent laughter brought a sense of relief and positivity to the atmosphere of the hospital room.

Ultimately, we made the decision to follow the doctor's advice and wait, opting for regular sonograms instead of the initial procedure. We trust in the expertise and experience of medical professionals, and we are grateful for their guidance in making informed choices about our health.

Our hospital visit may not have gone as planned, but it certainly provided us with a memorable and heartwarming moment. It reminded us of the importance of finding joy in unexpected places and the power of laughter to lighten even the most challenging situations.

Sheriffs in Polk, Brevard, and Volusia Counties: Promoting Concealed-to-Carry Firearms Licenses, shoot alot!

  In recent news, the sheriffs in Polk, Brevard, and Volusia counties have been encouraging Florida citizens to obtain concealed-to-carry firearms licenses as a means of self-defense against potential criminals and terrorists.  While this suggestion may seem controversial to some, it is important to examine the context and implications of such statements. It is worth noting, however, that the decision to carry a firearm should be made responsibly and in accordance with the law.   While the sheriff's advice was very straightforward, Most African Americans know that the sheriffs weren't addressing our communities and it is crucial to emphasize that the use of firearms should always be within the boundaries of the law.  Instances where the use of force is justified, such as in cases of self-defense, should be thoroughly evaluated. It is essential to follow legal protocols and procedures when faced with a potentially dangerous situation.   It is also important to raise our concerns

Why are African Americans Leaving their jobs?

  In recent years, there has been a concerning trend of job dissatisfaction and high turnover rates among African Americans in the workforce. Despite making up only 13.6% of the U.S. population, a significant portion of our community faces challenges and discrimination in the workplace.  This article aims to explore the factors that contribute to job dissatisfaction among African Americans and shed light on the underlying issues that need to be addressed. One of the primary reasons for job dissatisfaction among African Americans is racism and the lack of transparency in salary and pay discrepancies.  Studies have shown that black employees often earn less than their white counterparts, even when they possess similar qualifications and experience. Companies that are not transparent about salaries or engage in discriminatory practices contribute to a sense of injustice and inequality, leading to frustration and dissatisfaction among African American employees.   Another contributing fact
