The patient suffers from "people edema"

For the past 10 days or so, and never before in my life, my ankles are swelling to the point of pain and the skin on my left foot looks like it is going to burst. I have no options for work other than home MT and work full time and more at this. Anyone else have this issue and what do you do about it? ...

The “fake news” label is now being slung at CNN from both sides of the political aisle. CNN host Erin Burnett asked Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders if President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, Retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, should be fired if he discussed sanctions with the Russian ambassador before taking office. “This is a very troubling development,” Sanders said Friday. “It speaks to the broader issue of Russia’s involvement in our elections. It speaks to the issue of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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." ...

July 06, 2010 5:34 PM BARBARA COTTER The Gazette La Rosa Carrington has more than enough to worry about. She’’s a single mother with two teenage daughters, she’’s fighting a type of leukemia that requires five days of chemo a month for four months, and she lost her job in May. So the last thing she needed was news that her health insurance benefits would be terminated because she hadn’’t paid her premium in full. The shortfall? One penny. ""My medical bil ...

So I am going to pick up my son and his friend from football camp and he says to wait that there is a lady that wants to talk to me. So along comes this lady who just reeks of money asking me if it was okay for her to take my son's friend with her and her grandson (my son is NOT invited) to the country club swimming and could I call his mother. I told her I did not have my phone, but the friend could call his mom and ask. She then proceeds to ask me to wait ...

She gave my hubby her card so he emailed her Monday night to thank her for the interview on Friday and to let her know he would like to schedule the final interview, but nothing... no email, no phone call, nothing! Its just so frustrating because he has been out of work for so long, and this would be a good job and everyth ...
