The drought is over...

But the heat is still on here in RehabLand.Yes, it's always hot here this time of year, but you don't really appreciate it until you're out in it. Since I'm officially escaped from the Hotel Rehab for an ENTIRE week, I'll be back shortly with more interesting stuff.

Right now, I'm still recovering from the last two days out and about. More on that later.

Stay tuned. You'll be surprised, and yes, amazed.

Amazing!

I read this in a note written by one of our critical care fellows for a patient who was transferred due to hypoxia. I'm sure all the pharmacists out there will be absolutely surprised by this new use for this drug (or maybe it's an off-label thing, since we are a teaching hospital).

metronidazole currently, added for hypoxia

And if that wasn't amazing enough, I'm not the only "mad as hell" person at the Hotel. Apparently, the good folks at Gallup are getting an earful in their polls, especially this one: Congress' job approval falls to 11%. It's about time.

But, I have to thank my old buddy, Steve, who found this jolly video below that every rehab nurse will love. If only all the toilets in the Hotel could have a bottle of this to kill the smell from some bowel programs.

Enjoy!

All I can say is wow!

This is an incredible story about a new cardiac procedure.

Considering the risks for both surgical interventions, this one is absolutely amazing.
