Quick study...5000

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.

The 5000 references the number of hits I've nearly met for this blog. To all my visitors, thank you! And please come back again!
