Ah, flashbacks

I remember in a previous life that one of my professors said "Always take a glass of water to meetings in case they start talking about price fixing. Spill it in your lap and politely excuse yourself so you won't be able to vote on anything."

I doubt any water was spilled when "cooking the books" was discussed. Recently, there has been much talk of this phenomenon in health care.

However, I was not particularly disturbed until I read this article. A great way to cap off Nurses' Week...NOT!

Disgusting...

He told us not to do it...

So I'm not going to even LOOK at that class while it's spring break. Thanks Mr. H.!

On to more fun assignments, like laundry, cleaning and lunch with the folks out and about.

Sometimes, I love the weekend!

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.
