i get to take care of a fairly large amount of mrsa and i&d's. the nurses prefer to have me do the i&ds and such with them over the doctors; thus i do have a substantial amount of antibiotic orders. well today i had a little chat with one of...

I am getting ready for another stethoscope. Amplified stethoscopes: Good, bad or indifferent? So how bad is it on your ears when knocked by accident?

I apologize I haven’t been back until now. The stethoscope works great. - Taking blood pressures with it is a little different. - For me the volume adjuster is in the wrong place - Carry a dime with you (that is what it takes to unscrew the thing t...

We shall see; ordered it yesterday.

just another self important doctor write-up….. the question is it really of concern for the patient, market share, a mix or neither… i have two closing statements the self important doctor could have/should have included: as a patient you should ...

School, school, school...... Your parents are right. I did a little college in my younger days and put it off; it was a good long while before I was able to get back in. Life can and very well will get in the way of going to school if you put it off....

OK but where do you kick if its a girl zombie OK years ago it was late one night I was helping a nurse prepare her patient for the funeral home.... She must have bumped the bed because the deceased patients arm brushed my leg... Well I jumped she sc...

If your thoracic surgery group is like the one I was involved with you won't be a noob for long (and I mean that in a good way)..

during my bsn program i had to change hospitals due to the male mds not wanting a male nurse in the room during delivery.... place i had worked for years as a medic than a nurse a nurse manager told me she would never allow a male nurse to work on he...

"what your not going to give me the samples of those little blue pills" yep like that was the most important part of the visit. i have seen the good and the bad of samples and truthfully a lot a patient’s believe they have the right to have them su...

this may have some merit but the military has for a long time been converting / farming out some jobs to the civilian sector. probably true but also could be the only way they can get the slots filled..... in the private world hospitals use agency b...

Oops missed the "until" part.... One program at a time don't mess with someone else's possible slot.

Multidisciplinary knowledge; win-win for you and your pateints.

taking they have been offered... - through various agencies (contract) - sometimes found on usajobs - sometimes through, i think if i recall the name right, the af personnel center sometimes the offers come from having posted résumé on some of the ...

Anyone ran into it yet. The more I read the more it seems to be a diagnostic nightmare.

that's one of the things i read only gi symptoms; no respiratory symptoms, no fever. probably great if one is working in the hospital but in the office a patient with gi viral symptoms alone really could be so much more....

I agree: Can be very hard to get rid of.... I have some patients never needing to return while others its like clock work....

Was it suspected or just part of the workup?

are any of you all running into multiple resistances (3-4+)? i mean i have healthy looking young folks with multiple resistant mrsa it is pretty scary.. i myself don't believe tht i give out antibiotics like candy but if its bad enough that i take ou...

also about 95% of results are mrsa. i was finding so much mrsa the state health department took notice. ok this is not inpatient..... this is a clinic. the bugs that we can't cover with po meds have to go to the hospital or infirmary. unfortunately o...

So do you think you might have to change?

i don't wait on the c&s to start my antibiotics i depend on my c&s to tell me i am using the right antibiotic. i have seen too many patients with multiple resistances and have seen more than a few with multiple co-infections fun is treating ...

give them cheese and crackers to go with their whine. office: no lab coat. hospital: long white lab coat with name and practice logo (same as the others in the practice wear). not really a concrete rule that we have to wear it though but it actually ...

sometimes i don't even fathom this doctor's train of thought, especially since i have her treatment of mrsa. don't get me wrong this doctor is sharp but sometimes i do walk out the office bewildered. as for nasal pcrs and bactroban: when in rome do ...
