Nuggets for December 2

Here are a few things that have been topics of conversation on our unit and the things I've discovered about them on the internet. Enjoy!

Can you smell cancer?
This was one of the questions recently that folks were talking about since one of our nurses (actually a couple) has worked in oncology.

"So and so (fill in patient name here) is a real pain"
This patient-focused article from the University of Washington talks about the different types of pain in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients.

Stress and the holidays (an oldie but goodie)
It's not just the patients, but the nurses, too, get a little stressed out this time of year.
