Blindsided

Just want to thank you all for making me LOL. I knew what OP meant, but enjoyed the direction this thread has taken. Seriously though, I happen to be one of those poor peeps that are very sensitive to chemicals and smells, and so I thank all of you ...

Wow, that must have been a huge disappointment! I would start by telling them exactly what you've just told us. Good luck. Oh, one more thing, this post is a little confusing. Were you actually jailed or just had to wait at the police station until y...

Well, you made me emotional just reading this. So many of us have struggled to accomplish our careers. You have done wonderful! Congratulations, and have the best cry ever!

Good luck, good luck, good luck!!!

GET WELL ESME!

On Meet The Press today. Healthcare worker in Dallas TX diagnosed with Ebola after caring for deceased Ebola patient. Anyone know more? Thanks.

I want to say something about "worker carelessness." Please tell me if you think the same or not. I believe no matter WHAT high level of caution we're practicing, and PPE we're wearing and removing, this is STILL a human endeavor, and therefore falli...

Just read this. Sorry if posted elsewhere or earlier.

NBC nightly news is reporting him as alive but on a vent and dialysis.

Yes, you've got to wonder that if it is true, our current administration is quashing it for the time being, or hospital is preparing to make a statement? All I know is what I read. Interesting.

Sorry. Don't know how to post a link. I just typed in latest ebola news. Site called Arutz Sheva (israel national news) came up. Hope this helps.

I liked all these posts, they made me laugh.

Wow, you've been getting some super good advice here! So, I have nothing to add except I've got you on my shoulders, I'm standing up now, getting on my tippy toes (only 5'3"), and now I'm lifting you up!!!

I am so sorry for your losses. I have had quite a bit of experience with cancer/hospice, etc., personal and immed. family history and, family death. I think the time I have spent working oncology was maybe my best spent time. I really felt that I was...

Oh man! I couldn't believe this Ruby. Is this an urban or rural area? I feel for you.

You know, one of these posts used the phrase "held you up." Well that brought tears to my eyes, as that is what most every post here has done. This is your place to come for support, and you have mine.

I have never been in this situation, but I hope someone will be able to advise or help you. I am sending you a huge hug and hope that you'll succeed. Some of us have had huge obstacles to overcome, but still got there!

Interesting topic. How do you get the clinical if it's online?

I really find this topic interesting. I would like to hear from the CVS side which I believe uses algorithms. Thanks.

Anyone using Allscripts EMR in the office and how is it going? Opinions please. Thanks.

And where might such a place as this exist??? I never found it in 30 years

Yeah, it almost sounds like we're talking about two different EMRs. Maybe a Jekyll and Hyde EMR???

I am really sorry for you and them. That would be so frustrating! I support the use of EMRs, but they are not all created equal.

Thanks posters. I was present during a hospital's transition from paper to EMR, and I cannot remember the name of that program for the life of me (wish I could), but I do not remember it being too problematic.
