Visitors that were courteous and appreciative, and FOLLOWED THE RULES! :D Strict visitation hours! Posey restraints were handed out like candy. Nurses were subservient to docs, THANK GOD...

I have had patients I have been unable to ventilate d/t the need for sedation. You can't bag against a cough, they are coughing, gagging, freaking out, it isn't pretty. As they turn bluer and...

I have to disagree with you on this one. If the patient is competent to understand that he or she may aspirate on food, and they still want to eat, who am I to tell them they can't have cookies...
