Check the AANA website. As of June 16th the Opt-out was reinstated. Sorry A$A.

Hello Texans, Who knows of a great apartment complex in Fort Worth? I am mostly interested in the south west, closer to TCU the better. I would like something nice and safe with a pool and gym. Thanks.

Hello, Can anybody tell me how to get in state tuition in Texas. Not for me but for my girlfriend who may be attending UT-Arlington or Tarrent County Community. I have a relative in Texas is there a way to establish in state residency. What proof do you need? etc.

Yes, It has been around for a while but now the laser is more refined, also much stronger therefore more edema post surgery swelling. From what I have seen the studies should be over sooner than later.

Nice one Susswood! I live in San Francisco. Hope mine comes Wednesday....

What I have learned....... The TMR laser, literally blasts holes through the heart and creates "channels", in which blood supply may return to ischemic myocardial tissue. This is done when there are difficult targets for bypass grafts. The surgeon will fire between 30-50 channels into the heart sometimes having to suture holes that do not stop bleeding. The danger is that the heart is quite stiff and sometimes swollen after the procedure. Patients may decompensate for many reasons. If the heart is dry and filling pressures are low, the stiff heart will not provide adequate cardiac output when stressed. This is a fairly new procedure and in my CVICU we have observed this instability. So baby these patients, keep a close eye on PA pressures and cardiac index. Have two people available when getting these patients out of bed. Thanks, anybody else have anything to add?
