She may also balance her pain meds with her need to be engaged in life. There is just as many issues with prescription drugs, the numbers are staggering. By the statistics, one car in six has an...
There was a day when gun safety was taught in the public school. Classmates had guns in their trucks on racks at the window, in the school parking lot! Guns were more visible when I grew up, yet mass...

My FF that was missing LOTS of class time had the provision that he could only come during recess. This was mom's idea, she is a teacher. Nipped it in the bud, he sees me maybe once a

Welcome! You may be new, but I am sure you have things to contribute. Wear pink on Wednesdays, unless you want to sit with OD and me. Pull up a chair and join

Working post op OHS, I noted that the only pts. who had them were those unwilling to pulmonary toilet on their own or get out of bed. They encourage laziness and most of my coworkers agreed. We all...
Another thought, you may want to find out if the ENT tests only for sound heard as opposed to right/left differentiation. Maybe he has some neural pathway issue going
This may seem like it is out of left field, but is he left hand dominant? Being left handed myself (really ambidextrous), I find I switch my left and right directions frequently. I have learned to...
We have, that is why we are hesitant. My wife and I both researched and came to this decision, two nurses, along with consulting docs. It is not full coverage and may give children a superman complex...
School nurses. like it or not, are adjunct staff. They are not seen as part of the team, because educators only view the team in terms of education. To be fair, hospital nurses do the same thing with...
