    That's unbelieveable, (I do believe you), that nurses have to clean up after animals. I think that would have been the last straw for
  7. Medication Errors

    On the subject of emar, I haven't used it yet myself, but they have started it at the hospital I work at. On the floors that use it, the nurses say it is very time consuming and they are getting out...

  16. Beware Gastric Bypass with stapeling!

    I don't think exercise is a stupid suggestion. It does work. As does watching caloric intake. Did all of these obese people just suddenly wake up one morning, and surprise, they were obese, I don't...
