Uh-huh. Is survival not associated with expediency? If were after truth, can we be subject to necessity simultaneously? Survival is the most important. We don't survive the rest isn't a priority! I suppose we do what is necessary to survive. But all that is at a physical level until we are sure we will survive physically. Then we are able to go up to the next level and concentrate on that. Bottom line we need to survive and do whatever that takes I guess. Maslow's Hierarchy was a vital part in our nursing education. And actually, it islikely as cclose to the functionality of mankind. Patients are perceived to be in the lower level, where safety, nutrition, and body functions are what they have foremost in their minds, actually not really aware that's their level of function. Whereas their doctors and nurses are in the self-actualization level. That puts several levels between them. The people in the lower levels of Maslow's Hierarchy are not able to accommodate the people in the highest level, so it's up to the people in the self-actualization level to know and understand the functions of the lower levels where basic needs and wants are strong. We used Maslow's Hierarchy in Patient Care Planning. A couple of times we had a patient hanging between the lower levels health wise and hanging in the top level of actualization. Those Care Plans were sticky to make. But good experiences. I think a lot in accordance with the hierarchy even now.

On delusions...I had a hypoglycemic event in a class session several months ago. Last thing I remember I laid head on the desk because I was having a hard time following the instruction. My friend said I stood up straight and shouted "batman!" I was wearing a batman cap so it must have been on my impaired mind. Its funny to think of and my friend amnd I still laugh at it. I dont remember anything until I was revived in an ambulance. They said I resisted them. Im off that nasty sh- I use to take for hyperglcemia. I think it was designed while diabetics were not supposed to eat carbohydrates. The latest insulin Im on now drops my blood glucose surgically. Its much easier to use. What is your insulin that drops blood glucose surgically?

Humalog. I meant the term surgical as a figure of speech to convey precision. Its in. Its out. No lingering influence past when you need it to lower your blood sugar after a meal.
