1. HUGE A&P Dilemma, object to dissecting cats, any options?

   TexasPoodleMix replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

   Our professor said the first day "If you are a PETA person, this class isn't for you" . I'm certainly NOT a "peta person" but I do love cats and very disturbed that these cats are possibly bred for dissection. That is horrible !

   I have 9 cats :) (all former strays/ferals) that I love with all my heart. (one is actually getting surgery done tomorrow on his ear!) We start the cat dissection on 10/16 I believe , and no I am not happy about it at all. Not the actual dissectio...

   No he isn't moving, nothign like that. He said he can continue to treat her on an emergency basis. He just basically said there is not much he can do for her anymore. My mother actually said she is glad, as she overheard him saying some not so nic...

   TexasPoodleMix replied to TexasPoodleMix's topic in Geriatric

   update : A nurse from the facility called and said her Dr. is terminating the relationship. A letter has supposedly been written (by him) explaining his reasons, etc. Now the hunt is on for a new Dr. for her. I am very curious and interested to...

14. What can be done??

    TexasPoodleMix replied to TexasPoodleMix's topic in Geriatric

    It's like if we try and encourage her to get up , invite her places, etc. there's a boundary issue, but if we ignore the problem we are neglectful. Bottom line she is mentally ill and should have gotten help decades ago.

15. What can be done??

    TexasPoodleMix replied to TexasPoodleMix's topic in Geriatric

    I guess I don't understand what you mean by boundary issues. I am simply concerned about her and was wondering if anyone had seen anything similar and if there were any solutions. No one likes to see their loved ones "give up" on life, and refuse t...
