Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, or even a stranger, if in a lonely place. ~ Tecumseh
If I were not a rehab nurse, I'd want to be a transplant nurse. I've enjoyed working with transplant patients and learning about how to care for them, particularly while they stayed at Saintarama or at the Hotel.
Lately, I've enjoyed reading the articles in the news about transplant chains. This BBC article describes how one chain brought together 30 patients and 30 kidney donors. Another NY Times article discusses how the system isn't perfect. I even found one on a complication: CMV infection, which I could have used when I took care of a patient who got CMV post-transplant.
Always lots to learn...more to come.
