Brennas dad told a 'worst med error' story under 'interview questions asked....' and I thought I would start a new thread with hopes of some comedy relief and STORYTIME! We love stories, dont we? Well, here is mine. It was within my first year of...

Ok, you know how the news affects the community sometimes? I was just listening to CNN in the background while on computer and there is a big discussion on 'Battling Depression' with good info. A caller calls in saying she works FT and has no healt...

Dianah, Thanks for the info on the 6 types. I hadnt heard of them before. Ive heard of the 3 in the DSM IV with them being the primarily hyperactive, primarily inattentive and cant recall the third. I know you gave a brief description of the type...

Thanks! It looks like great info and would love to go to one of his appearances. I couldnt find the info on the 6 different types though, could you give me some direction there? I found the forum where they are asking about a couple of diff types.

Well, thats why the ADDer's are called the 'shakers and the makers' of the world... lol I am sure you are an asset to your unit and very fun to work with. That is, when we are not grouchy... right? lol My perfectionism used to make me grouchy... b...

Although I have heard that the meds they prescribe have helped many deal with the ADHD symtoms, I have to say, that I have been there, done that and I wished I had never tried them. I took them about 2 years -the first year I was in grad school then...

It does make it hard not to talk about ADD when you see it in other colleagues... I especially couldnt hold back after I first 'discovered' all about it and felt I could 'educate' others... what I found though was a big controversy, way bigger than ...

The thing I have to do to know what needs to be done as Im taking report is put a line out from it so it catches my eye and I know I need to checkmark it or put in a result... Hgb___ (when the nurse says, I meant to look it up but didnt have time or ...

What Brandy and Shoelace are describing is how for ADDers all the sensory systems are on hyperalert. Some cant stand strong odors either. Alarms? My husb forgetting to turn his car signal off drives me insane. If I say something it makes him mad ...

I think the top 3 dx that coinside with Adult ADD are: 1) Depression 2) OCD (its actually attepts to compensate for the ADD) 3) Anxiety Cant remember which book I read that out of as I have read many ADD books. My fav authors are Thom Hartman & ...

I heard VCU has one (4 years now?) and Ive seen some describe it here somewhere.

I have someone asking alot of questions and wanted to refer her there, if there are any. Thanks!

Thanks Deb!

If you want a big wedding... I would plan it for 2 years from now. Whats the rush anyway? I think your first year in school will be the most grueling but then after that, you could really start planning it... and hopefully they have a 'spouses nig...

Just curious... my 3yo was having sleep apnea d/t enlarged tonsils so she had the T&A 12 days ago. Those of you who had children like this, did they have low O2 sats post op? Also, prior to surgery and even still she complains alot of always bei...

When you preop adult pts, what percentage do you quote for death from general anesthesia? Thanks!

Thanks Deepz! Thats just what I was looking for. Tenesma, I still understand what you are saying.

Ok. I thought there were some statistics out there being quoted. Thanks for clearing that up.

To legally consent someone for general anesthesia dont you have to delineate most serious risks of anesthesia such as stroke, MI and death? I thought Ive heard them say there is 'less than 1% or 1 in________' that have life threatening adverse react...

Thats who Im asking this question- the anesthesia providers.
