Just read re: 27 y/o dad of 3 otherwise healthy died of flu in TN. No vax. Went to ER with c/o SOB, dropping sats, pain on breathing. IDK if they did CXR, but he was sent home. Came back with worsening sats/SOB. Got tubed, paralyzed, died. 2 kids under a year. Damn shame.
My sister in NE didn't vote last time due to flu. She got a notice from the Voter Participation Center (?) telling her that they were going to check after the election and if she didn't vote this time, they would tell her neighbors. What kind of bullshit is it? Is it even legal?
Talked to ICU RN at dog park. In CA, state mandated staff ratios have been maintained (ICU 1 or 2 pts) except during worst of COVID. In SoCal, extra shifts go for $500-1k + base pay/OT. Said she knew RNs who went to FL cuz refused to get vax'd, but came back d/t work conditions.
Yes this. Medical interpreters are specialists and expensive. But I didn't know this when I was a student. So the hospital would call me on off days to come in to translate but then pay me a "student nurse's" rate for that hour. I have too many stories :/
Anyone else irritated with the Walgreens commercial abt delivering meds to a guy at an outside party who feels the need to LOWER HIS MASK to say the guy's name? Good job on reinforcing proper use of masks, Walgreens! 😤
At dog park and this woman thinks her rad tech hsbd knows as much as I do (PhD in crit care nrsg RN since '81) goes off abt vaccines not needed and covid's not really that bad cuz she's had it x2 and hubby gets pulled to COVID unit when it's busy, so she knows. Fucking idiot.
Just heard Eric Clapton playing Layla. *Sigh* Why couldn't some of the shit that got knocked out of my noggin with that concussion been the facts that the song's abt George Harrison's (later to be his) wife, he's a fucking bigot, and he refuses to play where they mandate masks?
Saw a woman with a clear plastic "mask" that let air in top/bottom. She told clerk it's a good mask, so I said I was an ICU RN and nicely explained why her mask was not good. She nastily retorted, "Fuck you!" I could see at least 3 prob dx that make her hi risk. Good luck to her.
I'm not actually there today & honestly I'm resisting probing too hard, bc I don't want to know. Either they're on diversion (sending pts to other hospitals) or they're compromising patient care to some degree, I would assume? I'll know more later, but 4 now I'm on vacay.
If you liked "House of God," Samuel Shem takes on EMRs in his newest, "Man's 4th Best Hospital." A good read/listen/commentary.
Hat's off to Dr. Alan Braid! What a courageous physician and a strong advocate for women! washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…

I've always had good luck getting my dogs to take their meds bc I use the Mary Poppins method of medication administration. I give it to them in a spoonful of ice cream & they happily swallow the pills. There's no chewing, so they don't feel the pills & don't spit them out.
When my son was 3 he got upset when he got an erection and he'd start to smack his poor penis, which didn't help the situation. I'd explain his penis was big bc it was happy but he had to stop hitting it bc it liked the attention. He had to ignore it to get it small. It worked.
I'm seeking approval for a survey i created to go towards a possible article. @lizziegking @LeanneHPatrick have given me much to think about. I please🙏ask everyone else to #RT this post. I'm almost at 100 followers, be great to raise more before i release the #research #surveys
In the 90s in a mjr Southern city, there was a code on a fresh older CABG pt. Looking back through the ECG strips prior to the code, I noticed the QRS widening & widening till OOPS! Turned out one of our stellar anesthesiologists replaced KCl during OR according to uo, not labs.
I believe if covid looked as nasty as ebola or smallpox we wouldn't be dealing with the resistance to masks, vaccines, and overall common sense reaction to a WORLD WIDE PANDEMIC that we currently are. It ain't the sniffles, folks.
I guess I don't understand how you could work so hard to make it to the Olympics and then blow off getting vaccinated, like the 1 in 6 American Olympians who is unvaccinated.
You know you've been in healthcare a while when walking your dog through the multiple cul-de-sacs in the neighborhood on a nice summer evening reminds you of alveoli.
