   Here is a link to a disturbing article about a woman who died following a home colonic treatment and the resulting lawsuit. http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/colonsuit.html For those who don't want to read the whole thing, here is an...

2. NICU on another floor

   Texagain replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Our APU, LD, OR, and Level 3 are all on the same floor, but our level 2 is one floor up as is the GN and PPU. We have 3 infant stabilization units in LD and each SU can handle 4 kids.

   My cousins in law pick peas (and other things, seasonally) in West Texas. Generally, the only 'facilities' available are Port-a-Potties, picnic tables, and a water spigot. A hand-washing station would go a long way toward better health for all of us.

4. Colon therapy and enemas.

   Cargal posted: "did anyone see the multiple ads at the right side of the screen for colon hydrotherapy? Is there a 900 number" It would be interesting to take that colon cleanser ad apart. I'm sure they are claiming many, many (dubious) health benef...

   When folks start talkin' toxins, I always ask "What toxins?".

7. Terminations

   At our facility, we have had about three 22 week survisors over about 6 years (that I know about- we were HIPPA before HIPPA was cool). One came back to visit. She was 8 months old, weighed about 8 lbs, and, as I chatted with her mom briefly, I watch...

   Thanks, Agnus. You are entirely correct.

10. Colon therapy and enemas.

    Texagain replied to skybirdrising's topic in General Nursing

    I heard a commercial for "Colon Cleanse", a product that claims to remove the 10-15 lbs of 'sludge' that supposedly collects in the colon over time. The proof that it worked was in the large, ahem, stools that one would pass when using the product (...

11. Terminations

    How many weeks? If they were alive and perfect (healthy?), why did they die so quickly? I'm sorry you are feeling so sad about it.

    "She's told me I'm picking a different future for myself by resisting a change that I'm deliberately avoiding. (Which happens to be TRUE.) " Well, this is true for me also, so maybe she meant you a pass this message on to me! Let me speak to you:...

13. Need advice: non-hospital birth?

    Texagain replied to mm1021's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Personally, I would never have a home birth. My personal experience included a perfectly normal hospital delivery (short and sweet with excellent care) followed 2 years later by a completely disastrous delivery with practically every complication po...

14. Elective C-sections

    Texagain replied to Altra's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There is another thread on the board somewhere called "Would I be considered a difficult patient?" that asks a similar question, but from the other side. In my case (and I've had one of each), I don't care how the kid gets out as long as all are O.K....
