In response to the thought that vegans wouldn't use E.coli based things, b/c it comes from an animal...Bacteria are not in the animal kingdom,they are in thier own, just like plants are in thier own, so why would it matter? And they aren't aerobic li...

As a pt I would not want a male to do my pelvic exams, be it an MD or an RN. I dont think he should without a chaperone. Working in a hospital I freqently hear male's describing thier female patients... anatomy. Men are more likely to sexually abuse ...

my worst code brown happened at home. I was changing the baby's diaper-holding the feet up to elevate his little hiney. I bent over to retrieve the diaper I dropped and was "shot" by projectile diarrhea. It was on my face and in my hair! I finished c...

I am so sorry for those that have miscarried and not recieved support. It is a terrible thing in the first place without making mothers feel worse by telling them to "buck up." My condolences to you all.

My daughter was only a few months old and was crying...before I could get to her my 2 year old son pulled up his shirt and tried to feed his sister:rotfl: (His father was not amused )

I am not trying to justify a female only policy. I am saying that some women aren't comfortable with men doing thier OB care. I am a grown woman, and I advocated for myself not to have a male nurse for that particualar procedure. I hope I did not hur...
