    rph3664 replied to amya215's topic in General Nursing

    what she meant by that was, you just know that at least one of the duggar kids is gay. out of that many, chances are that's true, and no matter how much the parents think they can shield them, that's...

  2. Bye Bye Discovery Health

    rph3664 replied to amya215's topic in General Nursing

    Those Duggars make me think of those polygamous families in Utah, although I realize the kids all have the same mom and dad.My sister put it this way: "You just know at least one of those kids is...

  3. Bye Bye Discovery Health

    rph3664 replied to amya215's topic in General Nursing

    I've known a lot of people who used fertility treatments, and NOBODY had more than twins. The largest number had single births - or no baby at all. Chances are, you know people who used them and...

  4. This cartoon is hilarious!

    rph3664 replied to rph3664's topic in Nursing Humor

    I have wondered if "Close to Home"'s artist has worked in medical care or has friends and/or relatives who do, because he also has done many cartoons that are relevant to pharmacy and they are just as...

  5. Pediatric Vaccinations

    rph3664 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in Pediatric

    This may be a bit OT, but has anyone seen a patient (not their own child) "become autistic" after a vaccination? I've asked this question elsewhere and the answer has always been no, that the...

  6. Bye Bye Discovery Health

    rph3664 replied to amya215's topic in General Nursing

    There are several shows they've had over the years that have replayed many times, that I have loved to watch. One of my favorites is about Kenadie, the Canadian girl with primordial dwarfism. There...

  8. Bye Bye Discovery Health

    rph3664 replied to amya215's topic in General Nursing

    I was wondering what was up with that channel! It used to be serious documentary programming but has become DHC Lite. It should be renamed The Multiple Pregnancy

    bump I can see this cartoon on thousands of break room bulletin boards right

  10. Some people will do anything for money.

    rph3664 replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    p.s. These patients and their practitioners were just as puzzled as to why their hair didn't fall out, they experienced no nausea or any of the other side effects common to chemo patients,

  11. Some people will do anything for money.

    rph3664 replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    This story especially disgusted me because I am a pharmacist. It happened about 5 years ago; I recall the time because of what else I was doing at the time. Robert Courtney, the pharmacist and...

  12. Suicide by Self-Neglect?

    rph3664 replied to BlueRidgeHomeRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's not something I would want to have to live with, that's for sure. But there is a HUGE difference between a teenager who doesn't take their insulin when they don't get their way (very common) and...

  13. Suicide by Self-Neglect?

    rph3664 replied to BlueRidgeHomeRN's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital has several diabetic frequent flyers who are almost certainly "suicide by noncompliance." Diabetes seems to be a disease that many people think they can cure by blatantly disregarding even...

  14. Health food store giving medical advice

    rph3664 replied to mom4jesus's topic in General Nursing

    And since when does any big corporation care about anything but $$$$$$? The pharm companies aren't any different; when I worked at the grocery store, more than once I responded to a customer...

  15. Do Nurses STILL want to marry Doctors?

    rph3664 replied to showbizrn's topic in General Nursing

    "Scrubs" is about as realistic as any other medical drama, as in not at all. And I don't find that show funny because of the horrible way men on the show treat their wives and girlfriends (from what...

  16. Health food store giving medical advice

    rph3664 replied to mom4jesus's topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone seen those TV ads for sticky foot pads that "remove toxins from the body"? I could see them absorbing sweat, which would contain toxins, but this sounds like a total

  17. Health food store giving medical advice

    rph3664 replied to mom4jesus's topic in General Nursing

    I did a rotation on an organ transplant unit, and one of the patients I followed was a practitioner of the Maharishi cult, was a hardcore vegan, and came to the hospital where a duffel bag full of...

  18. Theatrical makeup ala tammy faye baker

    rph3664 replied to elizadream's topic in MICU, SICU

    True cover makeup is not obvious. I work with a black woman who has a huge portwine stain on her neck, and I had no idea she did until one day when she forgot to put on her cover cream! Yes, it...

  19. Health food store giving medical advice

    rph3664 replied to mom4jesus's topic in General Nursing

    Did anyone see Suzanne Somers on "Larry King Live" a few weeks ago? Her spiel terrified me because you know people are going to hear what she said, think she knows what she's talking about, and...

  20. Health food store giving medical advice

    rph3664 replied to mom4jesus's topic in General Nursing

    There are plenty of diabetics (and it seems that healthcare workers are the very worst in this regard) who think their diabetes can be "cured" by not taking their meds, eating candy by the pound,...

  21. Advise on how to deal "bossy" colleagues?

    rph3664 replied to uniquenurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Case in point about the "Make me, b1tch" tech: She once refused to deliver Phenergan suppositories to two children who had just undergone tonsillectomies, just because she knew she could get away...

  22. Advise on how to deal "bossy" colleagues?

    rph3664 replied to uniquenurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There is a person in my 60-person department who is like this and NOTHING can be done about her. Her disciplinary file is a foot thick and since she has a disability, no action can be followed...

  23. Health food store giving medical advice

    rph3664 replied to mom4jesus's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked at the grocery store pharmacy, we had a woman who would periodically order a bottle of Lydia Pinkham's Remedy. The first time, she waved her hand and said, "I don't believe in this...

  24. What's everyone's definition of Natural Childbirth?

    rph3664 replied to pirap's topic in Ob/Gyn

  25. Did anyone read the People story about Christina Aguilera?

    rph3664 replied to rph3664's topic in Ob/Gyn

    And raising a child isn't difficult and inconvenient? That said, I've heard that bedrest does not significantly affect pregnancy outcome. Is that
