Diver Down Tweet And now, everyone I hear says it’s diverticulosis. I could look up and see if there’s a specific difference between the two, but I’m going to let you do that.
What a Weasel Tweet Recently, we had a patient who claimed to not know why her blood sugar was so dangerously high but she had just finished off an entire box of Rice Krispy treats by herself! Also, I like the look of that weasel. I should draw him again.
Do You Smell? Tweet I find it interesting that, as dumb as Pete is, he still knows words like olfactory and plantar.
Appropriate Tweet This is actually a conversation from real life. I work in hospice and we have to “prove” that our patients are appropriate for the service. Sometimes, by regs, we have to take them off the service, then they die shortly thereafter, leading someone to comment, “I guess she was appropriate.”
Explosive-Free Zone Tweet I just noticed one day in our employee manual that part of the “code of contact” forbids us from bringing explosives to the work place. Did that actually happen someplace?
Edema Soup Tweet One of our nurses says this really does work to combat edema. The cabbage; not necessarily the cole slaw.
Bringing Up Religion Tweet I was a little concerned (hopeful) someone would object to this one, but no one did.
Medicare Regulations Tweet This came about because I’ve been told more than once that I can’t start billing until I’ve “laid eyes” on the PT. (That’s pro talk for “patient”.)
Alphabet Soup Tweet Inspired by the office where I work, where nurses and the doctor talk in letters rather than full words.
