  1. Food Loaf

    The food loaf stuff is the most stupid corrections penalty i've ever heard of. We as nurses have a responsibility of ensuring that our patients are getting enough nutrients, and motivate our patients to eat it. Silently sitting by watching inmates ...
  2. Most of the dangerous elements in hi-security psych have a lifetime of experience when it comes to dealing out damage. Although physical fitness and some classes in basic self-defense might help you in a confrontation, chances are they wont if youre...
  3. Awful Awful

    My workplace (forensic psych ward) does debriefs whenever someone on the shift feels the shift has been a bad one. The debrief takes place after the new shift has started (we get payed for an extra half hour), and is in a non-formal setting where p...
  4. Silly Question about podiatist (med advice not needed)

    Im just wondering, how is the procedure done over in the Us? Do you do the same stuff as us booring europeans (local anastesia with xylocaine, rubber banding the toe/finger to empty it of blood, cutting the piece of nail out and then fenol to etch t...

  6. Forensic Psykaitry

    I work in a norwegian security ward, most of the patients have a history of violence or other serious offences, and the rules are similar to the ones you have in malmô. We dont use restraints very much though, we most usually manage to cope without ...
  7. Paranoid patients

    One patient of mine was very paranoid about beeing spied on by various governement agencies, and believed his room was bugged. Instead of telling him there were no problem, I took the "well, if the room is bugged we need to find the bugs and remove...

    Im thinking its not the formaldehyde in the emmbalming fluid that the users are mostly interested in, more likely it is the pcp (also called angel dust) that is found in some types of enbalming fluid. Weed lased with pcp make the high much more prof...
  9. Ceramics and Medicine

    A lot of prosthetics use high-tech ceramics. Googling gave me these hits (and a lot more). http://www.science.uts.edu.au/cmfs/knee.html http://www.wmt.com/ceramic/patients/treferences.asp And, ceramic materials are the preferred materials for dent...
  10. A couple of patients at my hospital have been treated with greenbottle fly larvae to cure problematic necrotic wounds. Anybody seen this done before? What results did you see, and would you recommend this treatment?
  11. dryer sheets inbetween dressings?????

    There are a lot of good absorbent bandages on the market , and a couple of them also have a charcoal filter (smith and nephews carbonet for example). Why dont you try that before you bandage the wound with something you know is not sterile and dont ...
  12. AIDS debate - Most Controversial Story You've Never Heard

    Has it occured to any of the aids sceptics on this board that the posts you are making may cause someone with an hiv infection not to take their coctail? Or maybe to continue unsafe sexual contact or whatnot?
  13. Fear Factor, Nurse Style, Five Stunts... lol

    snorting out all the maggots from a homeless persons sacral decubitus without disinfexting your nose afterwards
  14. Takedowns and Security Training?

    I sure can answer, but the relevancy of my answer is maybe somewhat limited, considering i live in Europe, and not in the Us. In the psych facility I work (max security for violent patients), all staff except for the docs and the cleaning crew do s...
  15. codeine to morphine: what's the enzyme?

    Do like me, get a tibia fracture and try convincing the ER staff (in the middle of the night) that the codeine/paracetamol combo tablets they gave me earlyer didnt work
