  1. I have a dog that nips in fear when she's threatened. I have a kid that won't leave the dog alone. I am not getting rid of either. Better training for the kid and the dog both.

     

    That doesn't sound like your situation though. I think you need a full vet eval before deciding what to do.

  2. Yes, I keep forgetting I'm not "normal" anymore either .:lol:

    Insulin pumps? I've never used one. My patients would sell one for a pack of cigarettes before the first 24 hours.

     

    But, big strapping grown ups get booted out quickly. The hospital is full of big scary germs and "medical misadventures" (errors), as well as being pricey.

     

    Where do you work?

     

    I'm a pediatric RN and have been since graduating nursing school 5.5 years ago. While I have some rudimentary adult med-surg knowledge, it's pretty limited to routine surgical patients that get booted out within 24 hours.:lol:

  3. We routinely keep patients until the sensitivities come back. But I work on a pediatric unit, so we are always a bit different from the rest of the hospital at large. I suppose if the gram stain turns up positive, sending an otherwise healthy adult home on something with good coverage would be the normal thing to do for them. We keep our kiddos usually 3 days, sometimes 10. I forget we're not "normal" on our unit! (It is my normal, though!)

  4. They're educating the nation so that we can hasten our demise into a society that caters to the lowest common denominator. Very shortly, our average IQ will start to decline until Forrest Gump is regarded as an intellectual. (Although, Forrest was a pretty wise fellow in some regards!)

     

    Pretty soon, Idiocracy will turn out to be prophetic I'm afraid.
