Fabulous article! Nice to see that someone understands what we do for a change!

A woman stated she sat on a prescription bottle and it happened to become lodged in her rectum!

Thanks Sharon for looking into this. I have been calling around area hospitals and have gotten so many different responses. Linda

Is anyone familiar with keeping PPD documentation on file for Operating room vendors that are present in the OR during the procedure to acclimate the surgeons/nurses to their new products? I have never heard of it but it makes sense. I am interested in learning what other facilities do in regards to this, who would be the gatekeeper of this, where would you keep the documentation, etc. I take care of Employee Health at a small hospital and need some advice on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!:)

Scary! I have always aspirated and was always told that it was not necessary but lo & behold, years later I aspirated blood twice! It only takes a couple seconds longer but I will continue to aspirate!
