Yes, I'm popping in for a new feature. I'm calling it quick study, since it will give you a good overview of some of the topics this rehab nurse has encountered lately.
One of our patients has IBS and is using a different drug to treat it--Elavil. Here are a few links to some articles of interest I've found.

Another patient suffered from phimosis, so he won the most common treatment: circumcision.

Glad to see that you've been getting some traffic. I've been working on my other NP sites with less results. I forget that it took a while to take off. Hope you continue to attract readers! I remember my first commenter who still comes back to read after 3 years!

Thanks, NP! I enjoy reading other blogs as much as I enjoy working on my own.
There is a whole lot of good stuff out there. Plus, I see a world I never would in my own job, because we're not in a great big hospital with all the departments. We're kind of an outpost and sometimes, it gets a little lonely.
