with serious illness. After about the fifth time a nurse had asked us what her symptoms were - my daughter just looked at me and I said simply "Gross edema?" because explaining how every part of her body had swollen over the last 4 weeks just got old. Nurse looked at me and said, "Are you a nurse?" I said no - but I do do MT..... wanted to be a smart aleck and said "No - but I stated at a Holiday Inn last night!"

Use a play on the hospital name. The one at Keystrokes is KeyNotes. The one at a hospital I worked
named Great Valley Hospital was In The Valley. Take a main word in the name and just write down anything that comes to mind. Put a main word here and let us all give some play on words to it.

whether they are any better or not, I really don't know, but when I think to take them, I can tell a difference, I just haven't been taking them faithfully..

I would not have confronted him and would consider the source as others said. sm
There are so many people out there that know of issues in marriages and keep quiet or to themselves about it. I think it takes a very good friend to tell someone of issues they know or saw. So I would either say this person is a very good friend or this person has a reason to stir up trouble; again, consider the source. I would have kept quiet with the hubby and looked for evidence and investigate before I disregarded it or confronted him.

Where is your "inside source's" integrity?
S/he should be fired!
Real reliable source you have there...sm
Anybody who can Google exact quotes could have seen your reliable source was just another way to make yourself seem more important. How sad!
The least you could have done was type it yourself instead of copying it and pasting it from here:

I never said my reliable source was personal - I DID get it from an
internet source - but it wasn't the one you found - obviously checking my sources - so you DO care - so you are just a hypocrite!
Yes, but their source is the National Enquirer
I will believe it when there's a credible source and in the meantime, hope it isn't true.
Walnuts- natural source of melatonin
Want a better night's sleep? Try sprinkling your dinner's tossed green salad, fruit salad or steamed vegetables with a handful of walnuts. Or enjoy a baked apple or poached pear topped with walnuts for dessert.
Melatonin, a hormone produced by the pineal gland, which is involved in inducing and regulating sleep and is also a powerful antioxidant, has been discovered in walnuts in bio-available form, making them the perfect evening food for a natural good night's sleep.
Melatonin has been shown to help improve sleep for night shift workers and people suffering from jet lag, but maintaining healthy levels of this hormone is important for everyone over the age of 40 since the amount of melatonin produced by the human body decreases significantly as we age, and this decrease in antioxidant protection may be related to the development of free radical-related diseases later in life.
In a study published in Nutrition, Russell Reiter and colleagues at the University of Texas have not only quantified the amount of melatonin present in walnuts-between 2.5 and 4.5 ng/gram-but have demonstrated that eating walnuts triples blood levels of melatonin and also increases antioxidant activity in the bloodstream in animals.
The authors theorize that by helping the body resist oxidative stress (free radical damage), walnuts may help reduce the risk of cancer and delay or reduce the severity of cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease. Walnuts, best known as a heart-healthy nut, are also a rich source of another highly cardio-protective nutrient: omega-3-fatty acids, so Reiter and his team will next investigate possible synergy between walnuts' omega-3 fats and melatonin. To us at the World's Healthiest Foods, this sounds familiar theme in Nature's symphony in which whole, wholesome foods each provide a wealth of nutrients whose harmony promotes our optimal health.
If you do something like that make sure you have a generator as a source of power.
will eventually run out and you will have no way to recharge it. In the event of an emergency you would be out of luck unless you have a generator to provide power to the outlets in your home. We have one landline phone with absolutely no features on it. It is simply a basic phone line connected to a regular telephone that plugs directly to the phone line. It is not a phone that requires electricity. A basic phone line with absolutely no extra features is inexpensive.

I was horrified, what - a year ago? - to watch an episode of Oprah where three teenage girls AND THEIR MOTHERS were guests saying in front of God and the world that the girls engage in oral sex, how common it was, etc.
There was some point in this country when we decided that "shame" was bad (the oxymoronic suggestion being that we should be ashamed of shame!) - and nothing good has come out of this ridiculous 'progressive humanist' idea or its twin - the notion that outcomes should be the same for everyone regardless of their ability or effort.
Let's get the notion of shame back on stage - front and center. There ARE things that humans do that SHOULD make them feel shame and guilt. When we lose our ability to experience guilt, we have...let's see now, what do we have again? Oh yes, now I remember - we have Bernie Madoff and his $50 billion scam, television you can no longer watch with your children, teachers seducing their students, and a whole lot of other very unpleasant consequences.
Nature's Plus Source of Life vitamins.
They are made from whole foods rather than synthetic vitamins and guarantee a burst of energy. If I don't take them a few days, I can really tell a difference. I love them.
This is a minor source of contention in my family - sm
My husband and 17 year old daughter love going out to eat, whenever and wherever. I find that most restaurant food is way too gussied up for my tastes and I prefer my own cooking to anyone else's. Not to say that they DON'T like it. I'm a good cook and so is my daugher. To me, I can think of so many better ways to spend the money of a dinner out, one evening of which equals usally about half of our food budget for the week. It's hard to justify that kind of expense just to get out of doing the dishs.
So, in answer to your question, about once every couple of weeks to fast food, once a month or so to Friendly's and only on special occasions to a real nice restaurant.

This is a great beanice dish:
rice
beans (any kind)
onions (chopped small)
olives
turmeric
spices
Fry a little in olive oil or canola oil, then cook in water, 1:2, or 1:1/2, depending on kind of rice.
You can substitute beans with lentils or chickpeas, or put all 3 together....
I had heard Vitamin D was a good source for bones,
of course and being as I along with others on here do not get out as much as we should sometimes, had heard maybe I should take. I have pain in my ribs (checked for other things and scans, x-rays turned out ok) so started this morning with 4000 units. Anyone else take and if so what dosage? My ribs were hurting before I got out of bed and since seem to be feeling some better.
It's been on the radio. Apparently the main source is TMZ, nothing official yet. nm

Important to check source before posting/forwarding these types of emails and misinformation
Please, actually GO to www.snopes.com and read what they have to say about this negative e-email that has been circulating for months now. Right there at snopes, they debunk/clarify all of these mean-spirited accusations.
Specifically about it being factual and verified by snopes, it is NOT verified by them. Below I copied one paragraph from snopes.com but please go there read it in full so that you can hopefully choose not to pass on this Internet e-mail full of misinformation.
FROM snopes.com -
Variations: One version of the e-mail in circulation claims "We were told this was checked out on 'snopes.com'. It is factual. Check for yourself." and includes a link to this web site. It's our guess that whoever included that bit was counting on folks to not check, as our article says the opposite: that the polemic is not factual but rather is false.
Me again - Even if you do not care for Barack Obama, surely you do not wish to pass on lies or misinformation and engage in or extend the negative campaigning we all hope to NOT see much of... at least, I hope this is true, especially of people who talk about being Christian.
At least open your mind enough to read what Obama has to say about all of this misinformation. Between snopes.com and his own website, then make a decision whether or not to engage in actively passing on misinformation. Snopes is a great place to verify information that comes to all of us in these emails.

Believe it or not, I used to get it through the hospital ....
pharmacy when I worked in-house with a 30% discount. Still have friends who work in-house that get it for me at that price. Advantage works well for my cats.
We met at the hospital where we both
worked. I was happily dating one guy, and my hubby stole me away from the other one. He even proposed in the hall at the hospital, where he presented my ring to me, with me in my scrubs. We're still married 21 years later.
Hospital
I just quit a hospital job, too - one that I had been in for years (and years). They were changing over to Escript from Chartscript, and it was a disaster management-wise, and otherwise. I could have taken a job at MQ but turned it done - didn't want evening or weekends.
She needs to be in the hospital
Sorry, but the dog needs to stay where she is. Parvo is highly contagious and very often fatal. The dog needs constant monitoring by a trained staff, not a loving mom.
Hope the baby gets better soon. Sorry to hear she came down with this.
Mom in hospital
Sorry about your mom. First of all, according to the new HIPPA laws, I don't think you can be told anything about her case, BUT she is entitled to be told anything that she asks and is supposed to get a clear, concise answer (key word being supposed). If I were you, I'd tell your mom what to ask and be there when she does to sort of guide her, etc. If she OKs it, they will tell her while you are in the room. I went through all of this 4 years ago when my husband was so sick. Good luck. Hope it works.
If you know anyone that works at a hospital, they
and wind up throwing the old ones away. That is how I got one in my possession. Old or not, it could still be resourceful at points even in our new wave of technology online. Just a thought.
Yep, me. I quit my hospital job sm
to work at home just because I got tired of some mean people in the office complaining I was always in the bathroom. Like I really wanted to be there.

I've been watching GH for years. What do you think about Elizabeth/Lucky/Jason? I'd like to slam Elizabeth. I feel sorry for Jason.
FIL in hospital. What questions should I ask? (SM)
My 72yo FIL was transferred to the trauma unit in a bigger city this past Saturday because of a fall and head injury he sustained Saturday morning.
Since he has been there (more than 48 hours now), he has not eaten and is not receiving a dextrose drip or the like through his IV. They only took complete x-rays, CT, and MRI on Sunday afternoon. The first time a doctor/resident evaluated him was on Sunday evening sometime after 9 p.m. Also, he is somewhat delusional. He knows his name and where he is, but he is grabbing at things in the air, wants to take the trash out, etc. This is definetly abnormal for him. He has always been alert and oriented.
My question is this: Should it take 36 hours before he is evaluated by a doctor? Is it normal not to give him any type of nourishment (no food, no IV) for more than 48 hours? Is it normal to wait 2 days to see a neurologist (who won't be in to see him until late today) when the main reason he was transferred was for neurology consult? I understand he went in on the weekend, but should it take this long to get answers.
Thanks for any insight you can provide.

hospital CEO's at fault too
Nurses not work when they are tired? Hospitals need to hire enough nurses so that won't be forced to work when they are tired- ARH nurses in our state are on strike right now fighting for this. about the Quaid babies, I agree the meds should be in totally different colored bottles.
She was in hospital almost a week before she had him...
Sorry I didn't mention that he took off a week before she had the baby. But yeah he has went back to work according to her mom. I think she is embarrassed about his feet but I have told her that she need not be he is a sweet adorable baby. How could someone make fun of a baby? When I do ask to speak to her her mom will say she is busy or something. I say well the baby must be really keeping her busy and her mom says no actually he sleeps most of the time. The baby was checked by the doctor and he said completely healthy baby other than the clubbed feet. I thought about dropping by but her mom had said that she just wished people would not come over. And one of my other friends "dropped" in and her mom called me and was kind of acting like they thought that was rude to come unannounced. So I don't know how to go about it. I did call during the time she has been home but her mom said her husband was off so I know she wouldn't talk. She is very strict about no phone calls when they are together. It is weird to me but she is a very good friend. But I would still call and ask her mom how her and the baby were anyway and some days her mom would call me just to chat. I don't know I kind of feel like I have lost my friend. I will have to send a card.
Hospital bill
As long as you pay something every month, there is nothing they can do to you.
I would not take my money out of the CD's or move it. Just keep paying something every month.
What does it being a Catholic hospital have to
everywhere. The place I used to work for, they were atheists and it was like working in hel* every day.
At the hospital where I worked there were
pampered chef, anything you wanted to buy, you could purchase all on company time. There were also people that would sell dinner plates through their church.
This "daylighting" is nothing new. I myself on breaks would "deliver typed reports to an internal office." I stayed in the building, but I was on my break (not paid) or on lunch (not paid). So, what's the difference?
Tell me this isn't true; anyone who has worked on-site knows it happens every day.
hospital ~ go figure!
I have it in my Expander to autocorrect.
When I worked in a hospital, I once
had a "stat" dictation on a patient in the ICU. At the beginning of the dictation, the doctor said to rush this up to the ICU the minute it was transcribed. It was a consult on this old man's watch that had a nude woman on it. One of the funniest things I ever typed. I worked 2nd shift, so we were responsible for the stat reports getting to the floor. When I took it up to ICU, all the nurses and the doctors there were just hysterical reading the report. The doctor did apologize to me for the "stat," but he was one of our fun doctors, so it was not a problem. I miss the good ole days when we actually knew who we were transcribing for and could actually speak to them face to face when we had problems with them.
When I worked at a hospital
as a nurse's aide, there were several episodes similar to that. I was young about 19 to 20. One particular episode, I went in and picked up a breakfast tray and asked the guy if he was ready for his shower. He said yes, I told him I will be back with a new gown and towels. He said okay. When I came back in he was stripped down to nothing but his birth suit. I put the towels down and went and told the other nurses about the incident. Also, there was another man wanting me to wash his thing, KWIM. If he were comatose or had both hands broken I would have to but there was not a thing wrong with this man and I refused. I went and got another aide and asked her advice and she said she wouldn't either. We told the nurse's and the doc about the incident and he wrote that up as an incident report.
Usually men like that I took it that they had some screws loose.
I don't think a hospital/MTSO would go
for that, someone doing it with NO experience more than likely, plus all the legal hoops they would have to jump through.
Mom has been in hospital for 2 weeks.
she went in with breathing problems, but the longer she was there the more issues came up. She apparent came down with C. diff. They started coming in with the yellow suits, for infectious disease precautions. She finally asked why, and the nurse said according to her chart she had a history or MRSA with open wounds. I said WHAT. The last problem she had with a wound was in 1987 with gallbladder surgery when she had a bile leak and some wound dehiscence. MRSA was not even around then. She has never been told anything about MRSA.
My question is: Should I confront them and ask when this was diagnosed, and what the circumstances were. I am wondering if this is another example of OFFSHORING records where mistakes were made. I mean really, if this is an error I feel it should be corrected, and if not, why was she never told this?
I definitely think having her stay in hospital overnight would be best.

CNN says she's dead - died at the hospital....
found unconscious in a hotel room. So sad that she had such a wasted life.
There was a hospital here in Texas that called 911
It was a physician owned hospital. The story was on CNN. A man had back surgery there, had some sort of bad reaction to the anesthesia and the wife herself had to do CPR. The surgeon walked in and told her to call 911.
The hospital has been shut down.
Had a lap chole at the local hospital..
several years ago. At the time, I was a checker at a grocery store. My second day back to work a guy came through my line and said to me, "The last time I saw you, you were half naked, in a blue shower cap and drooling." He was my recovery room nurse...
Stopped immediately when put in hospital
unable to catch my breath, almost white-out of my lungs. Put on Theophylline, steroids, face looked like the man in the moon but the theophylline the worst. I was eating cigs before then. After 2 weeks in the hospital and being on that particular medicine, never wanted to smoke again and didn't - that was in 1998, Thanksgiving Day to be exact, so sick I didn't want the turkey and dressing.

He thought it was a hospital gown
This is a little late - just saw the posting. We were in army overseas and I showed him a pic of the dress I would wear (I didn't tell him I was going to wear it) but he said to me very sympathetically "When were you in the hospital?"
If more than 1 hospital in your area, which are they affilitated with and have privileges at?? nm

I wound up in the hospital due to excessive smoking
and spent 2 weeks there, gained 26 lbs on the steroids I had to be put on, not a good thing as far as that; however they put me on Theophylline, horrible stuff, IV at first and it sped me up, was up for 2 days and 2 nights, sweating like everything, my hair, the bedsheets, could not get myself sweet swelling and I swore if I could just get off of this horrible medicine I would never smoke again. That was in 1998 and never again. When I went home to work in easier to smoke and was "eating" about 3-4 packs per day. After the hospital I still picked up and lit those "nonexisting" cigarettes for some time was so used to them. I would never ever tell another person what to do about their own habits but for me so glad - PS- remarried in 2000 and this hubby is so antismoking so has worked out really well.
