"If you have a medication allergy, don't take the medication again just to see what will happen." oh i just had to close my eyes and shake my head at myself when i read this one, i did this once with percocet. i had been taking one at a time for a da...

Astra Zeneca (and another drug co which I forget already because I was so disgusted) sponsored a major golf tournament which was on TV this past weekend with the usual major golf names in it.....a million dollars was the 1st prize.

I am a previous EP lab nurse, but recently had to have a cath myself! it was interesting being on the other side of the table, but I had great care and since I work in a cardiology office, I chose the best operator we have and he did a wonderful job!...

I have just recovered from having rash and hives from cardiac cath contrast dye....it was horrid. Ice packs worked the best for me, I was taking 100 mg benadryl q4 hrs without effect. i finally got atarax too (great stuff!) and a steroid pack but tha...

Hello everyone, I am in Richmond VA working in a cardiology office as the Pacer/Defibrillator/Holter/Electrophysiology nurse. Would love to hear from other folks !

At one time I was a CHF disease manager doing telemanagement in many states, so we had to be licensed in all the states in which we cared for patients in any fashion. I have licenses in PA (my home state and license), Virginia (where I live now, and ...

Hi Flo, and all... You would benefit from an event monitor, you're quite correct there. This you keep for a month and record your rhythm when your symptoms occur. Ask your cardiologist for one. In my EP experience, yes, doctors do attribute these sx ...

my original license is from PA...i have licenses by endorsement in 12 other states including virginia, now the only one that is active. you have to do (CEUs, etc) and pay whatever each state asks if you want to keep the licenses active....i just let ...

Hi all, I have seen people be in stable VT for several days (this was back in the early days of EP when we tried all sorts of antiarrhythmic drugs before implanting an ICD) Amiodarone PO takes several days to load, it gets absorbed in the fat, bone a...

Hey I dreamt that I was weighing all my patients backwards in my clinic.....:chuckle

hello, i hope you are feeling well at this point! Was your tachycardia sudden in onset? how did it terminate? Is this tachycardia constant? They should have seen something happen with the adenosine, did anything happen? There are several rhythms othe...

well, my gosh!!!! you poor thing. (picture me hugging you) i'm so sorry. i am so impressed however that you can take care of both infants and 80 yr olds! if they brought me an infant, i would run the other way!! is it still possible to have the other...

Hello, I had this surgery on 4/9/2002 and to date have lost ~75 lbs. I have about 100 more to go too!!! It has been good for me, in many ways, I feel much better overall than I did prior to surgery. It is a good thing for most people who have it, but...

""I also have a problem with those who can't close a drawer... Those who leave their coffee/drinks cups unemptied...."" LOL this reminded me of my husband....he couldnt close a cupboard door in the kitchen to save his life (or mine, since i run into ...

i saw on the news that the guy who drove this surgeon to the bank was a medical sales rep/vendor who was down in the OR. now PERHAPS this rep didnt know that a patient was open on the table, but i'll tell you, the more sucking up reps can do, the bet...

i heard the lawyer for one of the plaintiffs say on TV that "if there had been nutritional information printed on the food's packaging or labels, then my client would not have become obese"....my God!!! this is just stupid, as so many of us have so e...

i have watched that show scrubs from the beginning, and i think they portray nurses as very intelligent people. they show them giving doctors important information about the patients, and working at bedsides (although i have yet to figure out if that...
