Let me count...

The possible headlines for this article. (BTW we also had a devious character in the Hotel who was leaving piles in trash cans.)

1. Poo on you, I didn't doo it.

2. If he didn't sh$t, you must acquit.

3. You want me to do WHAT?

4. Am I in the hospital?

5. What rights do you have? Obviously not s...

It seems like this is made up, but it's not. It's a true story about genetics and DNA.

Just because you can do something doesn't always mean you should.

Stay tuned!

Enjoy a long weekend

No, it's not a holiday, but I decided to make it one. Visited a few friends, then the weather changed some of my plans, but here I am, relaxing and now surfing the internet for fun.

I was reading an article which discussed how if James Bond were real, he would be an alcoholic with impotence. I really enjoyed this article, because scientists had to read the Ian Fleming novels and count the quantity of alcohol that 007 drank. According to the books, he even had a DUI with injuries. (Good thing he wasn't looking for car insurance!)

So after that stunning study, there was this article about the real diseases named after literary characters. I had recognized a couple of them, so it was enlightening. I also did not know that the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation did a story in 2012 on favorite fictional nurses.

Finally, two articles stood out about characters. One interesting article was called "You are what you read." The last one is about fictional characters based on real people.

In light of the article "You are what you read", just remember there are some fictional characters you should not emulate.

That is all. TGIF and enjoy your weekend, wherever you are.

Yes, many.

A few times in my youth. A couple of my friends also provided hours of entertainment.

Only once.

Only a few can serve...

On certain compliance committees that meet at the Hotel and in our hospital system. What a surprise that I was chosen for this committee that requires I go to a four hour inspection quarterly. My only hope is that I only have to serve the two years they told me, and not anything extra.

It's getting cold outside in RehabLand, so the visitors are coming out of the woodwork even if the holidays aren't here yet. Today, a few sports guys were in the neighborhood visiting the patients. One of our patients has been in so many PR photos that the PR office guy said, "I should have just asked for a blanket release for him." He's really interesting for the PR guys because he's young and friendly, which is not always our typical patient. We're known for old and crotchety characters who would fit in great in a neighborhood bar, like Cheers, if it were accessible.

Ah, it's so much fun working...stay tuned!
