Well Pam,

I had mojo for 2 types of pts today.  First set:morbidly obese black women whose breasts were bigger than my quadriceps (combined quad to ONE breast!)...Umm, yeah, not very attractive at all...Second set elderly, Alzheimer's pts with an altered mental status (and what is different today in an Alzheimer's pt, theyre always altered...)first AMS lady went in and out of complete heart block--the electrical conduction in her heart was not connecting.  Cardiology wanted to put a pacer in but I talked him out of it by reminding him that she had Alzheimer's and what would his purpose be?  Other Alzheimer's pt is a SCREAMER when she's awake (let sleeping babies sleep I say)  in the next room is the CEO's daughter who wants the door shut so she can't hear screaming lady (welcome to my world kiddo) That one had a too fast heart beat but that's no reason for the change in mental status and all her other labs were fine...

You could alternate fingernails?

barqhead - 2008-01-24 1:55 PM My daughter would like that! She has me paint hers alternating blue and green.

Sure is, 1100 AM--even missing core cclass to get there cause getting out of the ER has been a goal since November

hehe I think I liked it when I was umm... maybe 12???

enders_shadow - 2008-01-23 7:36 AM Morning, Nibbs! Happy HUMP Day! On deck - teaching this this morning and early afternoon, then off to the gym for a nice long run, before I pick up the Monkeys. Thought for the day...courtesy of Elder Monkey: People who drive little cars should stay behind us. Why, honey? Because they drive too slow and if you run into them, you'll smoosh them. Good to know she harbors no delusions about my driving skills or speed.

D001 - 2008-01-23 7:33 PM Drive-thru posting! Here's a little glitter, before I get back to work:

Always could get a 2nd PhD in biomedical engineering. I mean, once you have one, the 2nd isn't all that hard...

That's fair.  Sometimes I'm not so sure about this path. 

I'm in my 2nd year and finally have all of the hardware and protocols worked out.  i hope to have some real data in the next two months.  That will be exciting.

enders_shadow - 2008-01-24 7:21 AM You do realize, right, that only geeks get excited about data.

zipp1 - 2008-01-24 9:39 AM Morning Nibbs...going off to interview soon. I'll be sooooo glad when I get out of the pit on a full time basis. ER is fun on an occasional WTH kind of basis but a steady diet of crash and burn is getting old fast. Yes, the good luck mojo outfit is on...Just wish I didn't have to wear heels to keep the slacks from dragging too much

enders_shadow - 2008-01-24 11:46 AM Do any of you know anything about electric toothbrushes? My dentist keeps telling me to get one and I keep ignoring him. I apparently have beautiful teeth and ugly gums. Who knew? Anyway, he says the electric toothbrushes get more plaque and my gums will be less ugly...true/false? Are they worth the $$?
