What do you think?

I think the hospital should make the pt buy their own electric cigarettes that have nicotine in them, but that don't harm others around them and insist this is what the patient must use while there. Where do we draw the line on other addictions...nex...

I worked for a wound doctor who used to not wash his hands and put his hand on a bloody wound in an HIV pt, without gloves, then picked up the chart and went into the next room to see another patient. I reported him! Doctors are some of the worst in...

I set up a patient on Oxygen. There are 5 young adults who take care of the "grams" while the daughter works. When I went out there to set up a cpap last Monday, I instructed the family to smoke outside. On Friday when I went out to set up the pat...

Stealing a life seems just as important.

I think this is the same paste as the itworkspaste which i tried recently and works like they say. it took my non cancerous mole off my arm. The scar is barely there now. great product!

Here is a great reminder of how we can educate families about the toxic effects of cig smoke and how to prevent it: http://www.yourhealthdetective.com/2010/06/new-post4.html Third-hand Smoke -- Invisible Toxic Gases...Protect Yourself! Cigarette Smok...

Have you heard of third-hand-smoke? If they bring it back on their clothing, we are exposed!!! Polonium is a rare, radioactive element and polonium-210 is its most common form. Polonium strongly emits a very damaging type of radiation called alpha-ra...

If the owner of a facility doesn't want smoke in or near their building, they should have the right to choose that as well!

I am praying for you guys right now who have stuck yourself. The more you talk about it , the better. Please keep us updated.

When I left my last job, the cobra payment for my family and I would have been $900.00/month. We declined and took our health into our own hands. We started walking everyday, cut out sugar, salt and white bread, increased water and veggies...you get...

I am so sorry to about your husband and glad it helped. I agree diet isn't a magic bullet, but getting healthier has probably saved me $10,000 because I was on several meds and was having test after test done because of my heart, liver and labs. Th...

I was a foster parent for years, but no group home experience.

I am sorry if I did not respond earlier. I really do appreciate your response and when you say report to social work do you mean CPS?

thank you for your honesty. how does it make you feel to know your children don't like the smell and that you are not sure if you are harming them by third hand smoke or not?

Really...after all of the "education" I am reading that smoking is on the rise nationwide for high schoolers http://www.whec.com/news/stories/S2001749.shtml?cat=565 Let me ask you a couple of questions that I really hope you answer 1. Do you believe...

I was making a point that both can cause mind altering:uhoh3:

Me too!

My children hate cigarettes with a passion. They are the apple of my eye...I don't know what your point is, but if it makes you feel better...have at it! I don't think drinking beer equates to getting drunk...did I say that?

The studies would disagree and say that a home or building where there is second hand smoke can cause death too....so I hope that you would seriously reconsider so that you may better educate your patients.

someone asked me that. Yes, my husband and I (married 28 years) have two grown children who don't smoke, get drunk, do drugs, and are not obese.:)...thank God!

drinking does the same. i dislike both!

It's actually the surgeons general warning that thinks a parents second hand smoke can cause death, I didn't come up with that one. I just know I couldn't breath. Again...heck no, I wouldn't want to relocate that many kids, but if education doesn't w...

Let me ask you the same question. Is there anything serious enough you would report? Would you report a child whom you saw getting beat in a window to the point you saw harm? Your example of bleach or Tylenol is not the same because smoking "is har...

How did any new law start??? They start with a passion. Mother's against drunk drivers is one example I can think of. Your example of "how do you know they won't..." obviously you can't save the world, just as littering has to be reported, I would h...
