   The other day I had a patient allergic to water.

2. Accused of narcotic/ alcohol abuse... No clue what this is about!

   nt28 replied to Purplegiraffe's topic in General Nursing

   What helps me the most is getting a hot drink (hot chocolate for me) and sipping that on the way home. Snacking helps too. I have a 30 min drive and if I start to feel myself getting tired I'll pull over at the nearest store to get out of the car to ...

8. Well-worn debate. Men in OB

   nt28 replied to nt28's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thanks for all the great insight so far. Klone made a good point about needed another member of the healthcare team present during examinations. I'm sure that would be an obstacle many hospitals wouldn't want to deal with. Hopefully with the increase...
