MURPHY'S LAW PLUS
this is my faith based religion. anyone with another faith based religion - good luck with it.
my take on murphy's law is anything that can go wrong will go wrong and anything that can go right will go right except they occur at random probably inappropriate times.
how does this relate to healthcare? well its like this. while at the hospital no one could define what was wrong with me. every few minutes it seemed blood samples were taken and a variety of drugs, medicines, whatever were injected into me, and i think some needles were stuck into me for the entertainment of the staff or not. i'm sure some made me worse and some made me better. my faith and belief in murphy's law plus decided like in a crap shoot to allow a recovery.
the simplest example of murphy's law in action is the plastic container i used for urination. some of the things that can go wrong with what appears to be the simplest of devices especially at 3 am:
1. failure to remove plastic cap.
2. tipping the container accidentally and emptying it into your bed.
3. thinking you are aiming into the container but you are outside the container.
4. aiming at the side and spraying the area.
5. failure to hold while searching for the device which has disappeared.
i'm sure there are other failure modes that i have not discovered.
my desription and experience with murphy's law plus can also explain what other people claim is impossible. awhile back my ipod earphone cord through absolutely no help from myself became intricately knotted. so knotted that it is not comprehensible to me how it occurred naturally which it did.
now isaac bashevis singer related his belief that life could not have started by itself because the right chemicals were present and they accidentally combined into a life form. his example (my interpretation) was that if you dump all the parts of a clock on a table they will never assemble themselves into a clock thus clearly disproving the scientific explanation of the beginnings of life on earth. using murphy's law plus and my experience with my ipod earphone cord, and my hospital and rehab experience i can positively say that all the pieces of the clock will eventually assemble themselves into a working clock. no doubt about it.
then there is the sorta' murphy's law description of a thousand monkeys at a thousand typewriters eventually typing out the complete works of shakespeare. of course this is ridiculous. some dorky phd who got it from some other dorky phd probably thinks he is so smart explaining the laws of probability - snore -zzzz. 200 college credits sitting on your butt will not make you smart only delusional. its just stupid and would never happen. just give it up. actually murphy's law plus does not apply here. i just wanted to say this.
