Poor renal patient smells like fish
Posted: Mar 5, 2013
He said: "She has a fistula in her left upper extremity." VR wrote: "She has a fish odor." Can you imagine if that wasn't corrected and left as is, and another doctor comes along and says, "Tell me about your fish odor." I had another report today where the dictator had momentarily stopped speaking, and VR just threw in, "He was born skinny." ;
LOL! Those are great. It's VR, not the doc, that "dictates" patient care. - nm

No, its the doc who dictates the care, its the VR - that types it
[ In Reply To ..]VR doesn't dictate anything.
Um, it's called sarcasm. It was just a joke. This is the comedy board, after all. - nm

How about this... - Angie

ROFL.
How about a doctor the patient is referred to saying "Let's take a look at that circus-sized penis" or "Are you still have trouble with your reptile dysfunction"?

Question About New FishMay 21, 2011
I just got a fish today. I haven't had fish since I was a child. It is one of those Siamese fighting fish. My problem is this: I just got a little fishbowl since I wasn't too sure how great I would be keeping a fish alive. I have a cat who for the most part just looks in the bowl and watches the fish. But my husband has watched him stick his paw in the bowl a few times. Will the cat's paw contaminate the water? Should I change the wa ...
Teach A Man To FishAug 26, 2012
Give a man a fish, you feed him for one day. Teach him to fish, you feed him for life. Destroy the economy and make him desperate enough for a job and he will gratefully work at minimum wage in your fish cannery for life. Destroy the public education system and you'll have his sons and daughters, too. Forever. Quote from a friend. ...

Re. Nursing Home Patient(s)Oct 15, 2009
Several family members while in nursing homes have been approached by religious "Zealouts" trying to push the "right faith" by staff or so-called "visitors" on them. I am so sick of it! My Dad was presented with a Bible of different faith at 81 and dying. Now another member at 85 in failure was presented with 3 different "faiths" by the "staff" and I am enraged. Being asked questions by 85-YO as to what is "B'hai" and what is "Spiritualism." I am so sick of it. Keep your Bible(s) off their ...

We Are Not Allowed To Talk About Any PatientOct 15, 2014
I am just reading this morning about the nurse who has tested positive for Ebola in Texas after taking care of Eric Duncan. Nurse understood the risks of working so close to one of the world’s most feared viruses and tried to reassure her family that she would be safe. When nurse’s mother learned her daughter was caring for Thomas Eric Duncan, nurse told her: “Mom, no. Don’t worry about me,” family friend said. How would the mother have known had the daughter not told her? Is that ...

Any Fish-cooker-uppers Out There? HALP!Mar 05, 2010
Here's the deal. I'm a part-time Mr. Mom. My wife and I both work and we split the household chores down the middle even-steven. Cooking, cleaning, whatever. We each take care of laundering and ironing our own clothes, etc. (It's the way I was raised by working parents, if you think this is odd.) So, the way our schedule works out, I'm off work earlier and cook dinner most of the time. Nothing fazes me except FISH, and my wife doesn't do it any better, but we bot ...
Controversy Over Dr.s Remarks About Patient's WeightNov 21, 2009
My husband told me he read somewhere on the Internet about an ophthalmologist telling an extremely obese patient that he was refusing to do her eye exam since she was going to lose her sight anyway because of her uncontrolled (apparently she's been noncompliant with her diabetic care) diabetes and obesity. He told her she was obese and had better ose some weight What are your thoughts? He's just a jerk. He cares about his patients and knows her obesity is going to kill he ...

Communication And Ebola Patient In DallasOct 01, 2014
Today's Ebola news shocker (not!!) is that information obtained from a diligent and thorough nurse failed to make into clinical decision making, and the patient was sent home with antibiotics for undiscovered Ebola. Properly handled, the patient would have gone into isolation at that time, and been treated with appropriate supportive measures, and not spent 2 additional days exposing others to the virus. If many more Ebola cases occur as a result of this totally commonplace error on the p ...

He further went on to state that this is exactly the intent of the democrats because when one is totally dependent on government fo ...
