There is a hospital run day care at KING'S DAUGHTERS HOSPITAL in Ashland KY. I do not know if it is 24 hours. I believe they have partnered with the YMCA in some capacity. Perhaps you could contact King's Daughters for more accurate information. Good luck with this project.

Thanks, Betty, for bringing up this topic. A few weeks ago, my sister had a double transplant. The ONLY problem she had during her hospital stay was ans asthma attack when an SICU nurse walked into her area to pick up an extra blanket for another pt. Luckily, her nurse was there and took care of the problem with Benedryl. The hospital apologized profusely, but never mentioned if there was or wasn't a policy. The next day the nurse returned, but with no perfume. She helped with my sister's care that day and they got along great. She said she never really thought anyone would have that violent a reaction to perfume and apologized. It seems like such a no-brainer to me. The chronically ill are so compromised, why would a well educated person fail to realize the harm they could do to a patient? I would love to see all nursing schools educating students on environmental allergies. Good sites, thank you.

Brandy, I am really happy for you. I just want you to know that the adventure is just beginning....hang on and enjoy it! Annie

Allergy to hair conditioner or shampoo? I have problems with some conditioners, can't seem to isolate an ingredient, probably the fragrance. Hope you figure this out soon, I know how aggravating it can be. Good Lck.

Why would a paramedic want to replace a nurse, especially one that is verbally abusive, rude and closed minded? Perhaps a little anger management would be in order?

How about paramedics working in the hospital?

Try changing the eartips. I like the trasparent soft rubber ones. They seem to block out the outside world for me. I cannot hear as well with the hard tipped ones. If changing the tips doesn't work, have your hearing tested. An audiologist may be able to help you solve the problem. An amplified one would be great, if you have a hearing problem, but they are expensive and you should be prepared to guard it with your life. They come up missing frequently.
