Thanking the heavens

It's not good, but it is getting better. One of Dahey's relatives was out in the storms recently and was seriously injured because he couldn't been seen due to wind, rain and darkness.

He and his family were in a car accident and he was the worst injury of the lot (rest of the injuries were minor). The medical staff at PrivateU are watching and waiting since he had to have this procedure and a small part of his brain removed to reduce brain swelling post-injury.

Send all those good thoughts and prayers our way.  It will be a long road ahead, no matter what happens.

Stay tuned...

Nuggets for November 22

I should be thankful that things are not worse, but it's been busy at work lately. Fall is turning to winter and that means we're heading into pneumonia season. We've got a couple of cases all ready. Lots and lots of coughing going on! Chest PT for everyone!

Now for something completely different....here are a few tidbits of interest I've run across in the blogs this week.

This penis reconstruction story makes me think of Fournier's gangrene again. (from Highly Trained Monkey)

What's wrong with nursing (from My 2 Cents)
One of these days...

Sometimes the best therapy is a long-drawn out rant (from Spook RN)

An ingenious Christmas gift you gotta see (I found this thanks to ER RN)

Thinking of going back to school? Some of those professors will be talking about YOU if you aren't very nice...I really loved the "who's the geekiest" post recently.
