In real life and on this blog. I have gone through the links on the sidebar and removed the ones that don't work anymore or the links to password protected, "members only" sites.
If you'd like to be added or re-added, let me know.
Now back to regularly scheduled laundry...

Nuggets for January 23
It's a happy, happy Friday, all! I love the weekend, especially when I'm not working.
Since the week is done, here are a few interesting things I've encountered lately.
What do you do when you get a needlestick? Here's the VA's resource for occupational exposure and HIV. While digging around on this very subject, I found a great resource on HIV called The Body Pro.
It's a little more complicated than a needlestick, but we had to deal with a patient who recently had a transbronchial biospy of the lung this week. Thurlbeck's Pathology of the Lung has some interesting facts about this type of procedure used to diagnose all sorts of lung conditions, from cancer to infection.
Finally, with all the MRSA and shenanigans going around we had a patient with a very scary looking butt cheek and one of these. If it's not MRSA, I'll be surprised. I've only seen one previous to this, on my pediatric clinical in nursing school and it involved MRSA and I & D and it was nasty!
On that memorable note, have a great weekend! We'll be eating cake (for Bubba's birthday party with all the kids).
