aw, c'mon, it's called humor

Subject: aw, c'mon, it's called humor

I apologize.  I am not high-handed.  That just really, really struck me as funny.  I was not the one who asked how old her books were.  And, truthfully, I started this when I was 18 years old, too many years ago to remember.  So, it's possible I was incorrectly trained at the time.  Once again, I apologize for only me thinking that was funny --- sorry.

Med called Tensol?
Subject: Med called Tensol?

Anyone heard of this? Cannot locate in my references. Went online and researched; only found TenSal (saline) and Tensol (a site in Malta). Given context, TenSal is not a candidate IMO.

Context: However, toward the end of the hospitalization, she was barely able to take any medication or liquid, and we discontinued all oral medications. We did continue the patient on suspension of Roxanol and Ativan and ---TENSOL--- to keep her as comfortable as possible. In fact, she was comfortable throughout her hospice stay.

Because of what the Dr had told him, he never thought that was the problem. Of course, he did live to 88, but he was still working as a barber and we never wanted either one of them to die, ever.
