    Don't Want To Touch Patients!

    I grew up before germs were the boogey-man, and went through training before the advent of glove use for every little thing. I am alive and very healthy. No weird rashes or dastardly diseases. Soap...

    Your very first sentence sounds exactly like my step-daughter, who is now 41 and more reactive than reflective. None of her experiences have opened her up, just driven her further back into the clan...

    Don't Want To Touch Patients!

    Being an individual

    IDK, I think if that were truly the case, we'd still be in whites and wearing our caps......though there is that nagging little detail of how to distinguish the male nurses.....maybe something like...

    I am afraid of Anatomy and Physiology

    Well, I just have to say that now I understand your 'name' on line. Reckon I, too, would have an attitude about 5 miles long and high, had I have had to endure what you have!

    a friend's pt satisfaction survey

    Hubby's going in for shoulder surgery soon; I can't WAIT to get that survey, heh-heh-heh-heh. I'll give 'em a shovelful of opinion about the 'customer service' crap. My hubby says that he'd rather...

    Why Failing Med Students Don't Get Failing Grades ...

    With regards to the interns/clerkship clinical experiences, this may seem like a dumb question, but wouldn't they have the option to go toward an MD career that didn't require much bedside manner,...

    The HARD Truth for most nurses

    So what do I see this afternoon in a story on Yahoo news? That gold can be found in fecal matter. Seriously. (Or not.) Anyway, if you want an explanation you'll just have to go on Yahoo's news site...

    The Fat One

    I know Whoopie speaks only for herself; I wish I could remember the shows on which she has discussed it...well, 'discussed' isn't exactly the word I want.....maybe she vehemently proclaimed how much...

    Whoopie Goldberg is also quite vocal about black people being called African-Americans. She says SHE is just plain AMERICAN, period. Every time we turn around the Ultra-PC ground beneath us moves in...

    Stories of the pre-vaccine days
