1. I have been impersonated-Input please

   Snowy replied to Cubby's topic in General Nursing

   Being a victim of fraud and collection agencies trying to hunt me down for bills, etc. that aren't even mine, I would say pursue this for sure. Sadly, crediting ratings, equifax, etc. are such a joke.. if I was looked up it would currently show that ...

3. Why on earth does no one make eye contact?

   Snowy replied to z's playa's topic in General Nursing

   Something that seems to help with eye contact (and I've noticed this in a large variety of social groups) is to give a friendly smile, sometimes say a hello to initiate/ "break the ice"

6. Patients who come to the ER in labor and do not know they were pregnant?

   Snowy replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

   I've heard of pregancies happening not only with vasectomies, but also, a close friend of mine had a tubal ligation years ago. Her only child wanted a baby brother so bady, so the parents told him to pray. Apparently he prayed hard, because less than...

7. ER abuse was encouraged last night

   Snowy replied to Snowy's topic in Emergency

   ^^^^^^ Coming from my background, originally starting in EMS, it was probably not the best decision I ever made doing a 'self assessment'. This all happened 2 weeks ago. Good news on a personal level, I'm 100% back to normal, fixed my bike, and in ...

8. Patients who come to the ER in labor and do not know they were pregnant?

   Snowy replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

   Isn't a patient coming in not knowing they're pregnant, much like these people who get foreign objects "stuck up there" but have no idea how it happened? I see a lot of similarities in these scenarios

9. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

   Snowy replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

   just when I thought I'd read and heard it all - A 37 yo male called 911 the other night because he'd accidentally stepped on and broke his reading glasses. Fortunately, the crew refused transport on that one.

10. ER abuse was encouraged last night

    Snowy replied to Snowy's topic in Emergency

    I thought I better 'check in' for all who read/responding here. The good news is the fact I'm healthy and healing up quickly. It's nice when your friends are medically oriented (in my case either LPN's, RN's, EMT's and Ski Patrollers("wilderness EM...

11. ER abuse was encouraged last night

    Snowy replied to Snowy's topic in Emergency

    I've been having 10/10 pain all day and was pretty frightened when I peed blood. A closefriend who gets Rx's for generic soma and lortab brought me a coupe and they're helping get me though the pain part, but i'm increasingly concenned that maybe I s...

    Snowy posted a topic in Emergency

    :angryfire I couldn't believe this one, but my true story here from last night brings a point home of why there are some problems with "the system" This happened to me last night, no joke: Background: I bicycle to work and back quite often for exerc...

14. Increase in minor complaints?

    Snowy replied to MrsWampthang's topic in Emergency

    Worse yet, whether they go to the ER or PMD for a viral illness, so many who insist on being given antibiotics :stone

15. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    Snowy replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I'd mentioned my own personal story elsewhere, but on the lines of people being in ER for unecessary stuff; such as the time I was in (due to traumatic injuries/fractures which ended up in a several week hospitalization at the time - healed up with n...
