One of the most common mistakes, even make by experienced clinicians, is forgetting to hold the penis closed for at least 4 minutes to allow the lidocaine to actually work effectively (numbing and opening strictures). At the facilities I ran the use...
I noticed that everyone seemed to miss this point that AGATHA PREVOST was making or perhaps it is an uncomfortable reality for many. So let me add a few sobering thoughts to this silly illegals debate. Yes, the Europeans were illegal immigrants ...
Since this is an anonymous international forum, I am wondering how many practitioners on this forum would be okay with removing what they might consider "nonessential" tissue from a female infant, with lidocaine/xylocaine of course?
The foreskin is about as functionally necessary as the clitoral hood. So let's recap. If you were to give birth to a baby you would remove it's tonsils, adenoids, gall bladder and appendix. For a boy the foreskin would be removed. For a girl, is ...
You made my point precisely. Healthcare isn't all about trying to please the patient. In administration I did not make it my policy to hire based on gender, race, religion, nationality, ethnicity, etc... It is a free market of course and the patie...
As long as they are polite why would you call a person who requests a nurse of a certain race/ethnicity/nationality an "********". Would you call a woman who requests a female caretaker, such a name? How about a man who requests only males to perform...

No need to walk on eggshells about this or any other medical topic with your patient. My point earlier on this thread was that it can be difficult for a nurse to give "just the facts" when the physician or managers at the facility they work in have ...
Yes, the patient can go somewhere else if they are not happy at a facility. Likewise, I can discharge them if they want to be transferred elsewhere. I have done that many times in the past.
Why is a care provider request based on race, any different than a request based on gender? Think about this, years ago when I was out of medical school, many male and even female patients did not want/trust female doctors. We had male orderlies th...

Sorry, I was speaking about theoretical cases. I find prosecutors and to a lessor extent judges, are the biggest problems in cases like these. I was also speaking about what should be done with an executioner who kills a person who is later discover...

I think these people should be compensated at least $1,000,000 per year of false incarceration. The prosecutor should be automatically disbarred. In the case of a false execution, the executioner should be charged with at least 2nd degree murder.

What if the guy only had a short time to appeal? He would have been "fried" a long time ago. In my State we had a very similar case where someone was released after serving 17 years. Everyone had been complain that the guy had too many appeals and ...
