TAN 202: A bunch of rotTAN apples (Page 20)

It kind of depends on the facilities rules.  Techinally its an OSHA violation.  We have to send them to pathology and then it has to be autoclaved because they would not want your own body fluids giving you any dread diseases.  In place I worked I had to send it to the path lab then they clean it then give it to me to give to the pt if they wanted it because the "hospital" was not allowed to give it to the pt.  but somehow I could.  Its also an OSHA violation to give someone their cast or to re-use DME.  That said if you have it removed you can probably get it back.  I had a pt make a necklace out of her hardwrae.......which I persoanlly thought was a bit odd but I have also had pts do some pretty bizzare stuff with their arthroscopy pictures

I am doing some upper extremity stuff so I will get a scapula and an arm probably. 

Considering having them removed?

37mph sustained winds, gusts at 44mph! 
If only there were some way to harness the wind and turn it into energy...

Doesn't Kansas have all the wind turbines that we have in Iowa?  Ours is by Mid-American Energy and they are putting up new ones everyday.  Just curious if Kansas is as windy as I remember that the whole thing isn't covered with them. 

We do but in limited quantities. Lots of political stuff with other energy sources.

Politics?!?!?!

In Kansas!?!?!?!

NO!  Say it ain't so!

One of the greatest inventions in the workplace enviroment has to be the delayed delivery option on emails.

I am outta here

For some reason I thought you (Kansas) had a lot of "wind farms" setup by originally by the federal government. 

Obviously I am at work too much.  I was the last to post last night and the first to post this morning and I have been up for 3 hours already.

AND PITT BEAT NOTRE DAME.  H2P

I have a good friend that is a Cowboys fan and he quit watching the game and he usually watched every second of every game.  I never saw the game but heard it was terrible at best.

It's in the back of my mind. No real issues, but would prefer not to have foreign objects holding me together if I don't have to. I realize it would be another surgery and another recovery so that weighs heavily in the decision making.

ANNNNDDDD Its monday, day one of seven on call and day one of a 12 day work week.  Can hardly wait for the stupidity to begin. 

If its not bothering you leave it alone. The plate is a temporary holding device until the bone heals but when you have it removed then it takes a long time for all the screw holes to fill in plus its another surgery and there are lions and tigers and bears under the clavicle.  It will do you no harm to leave it there so unless the plate is painful I'd suggest leavingit alone

Good Morning TAN!

I would say "Happy Monday", but we all know that those two words should never really be in a sentence together. 

With it being Veterans Day here in the US and Remembrance Day in Canada, I just spent a few minutes looking at our pictures from going to Normandy in 2012.  What a humbling, sobering and awe inspiring experience that was.   

Happyyy Monday and special thanks to veterans! 

I am going to a college basketball game that tips off at MIDNIGHT tonight (by the way, it's my team that made it the FINAL FOUR last season - woot)! Just as I was wondering how I'm going to stay awake I read a tweet that said they are handing out free Rockstar energy drinks to everyone at the door. HAHA!! 

BRILLIANT.

so they must be part of ESPN's 24 hours of basketball - there are some decent matchups considering it's still only November and there are games NONSTOP ALL DAY.  mr meh and i might be camping out at BWW's to catch a whole bunch of the primetime games.  WHEE!

Yup yup! I believe we are also hanging our Final Four banner in the arena tonight. I will cry, that is almost a given.

We are thinking about hitting up BWW before the game - haven't been there in years!
