They are fired from my body! So is the Asthma and the OCD ! <BR/><BR/>I will, from now on, just plain refuse to get sick anymore. Not reallly sure why, since I've done this, my body seems to think it's in the middle of a lupus flare since lupus has been fired from my body ... hmmm<BR/><BR/>Hey Dr. A ... I have a new blog friend I want to introduce you to! <BR/>This blog sis is a bit special too though, she's not just a blog sis ...she's a sis sis ...by marriage. She's my husband's sister ... and we call each other sister, on many occassions rather than sister in law. <BR/><BR/>She's started a new blog. She's starting a new business adventure. Her 13 year old is going to public school for the first time ... and she's just ... well ... at an interesting phase in life. <BR/><BR/>http://theinnersage.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/>Please visit her blog, and introduce your friends to her. I'd really appreciate it. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, she knows a bit too much of what we, ourselves do. She has rheumatoid arthritis and fibroid ... and her brother (the baby brother to my husband as well) has Multiple Sclerosis (my poor kids gene pool .... they just don't stand a chance do they?). <BR/><BR/>She's helped with me, and my husband's issues, as well as helped to educate us and the rest of the family about her brother. <BR/><BR/><BR/>She is often, the overlooked, underappreciated child in the family ... it is really time for her to have some applause and appreciation. <BR/><BR/>PLEAAAAAAAAAASE go visit her new blog!! PLEASE! She's really a great girl! And she really IS my sister in law!Dreaming againhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15717590226520457326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29955732.post-14149512474759798292007-08-22T17:03:00.000-04:002007-08-22T17:03:00.000-04:00To bad we can't go by the honor system.

If they leave something that shouldn't be there inside a patient during surgery then i don't think Medicare should pay for it.<BR/><BR/>but, bedsores, even with the best of care can sometimes happen with a patient that is in bed 24/7. Also falls should be indiv. situations. If someone gets up and falls how is that the hospitals fault? If someone has dropped them then thats a different story.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13540096932312929506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29955732.post-34610690583860452652007-08-21T00:53:00.000-04:002007-08-21T00:53:00.000-04:00Rositta - just so you know - there's going to be M...Rositta - just so you know - there's going to be MORE c diff after the regulations are implemented - because people are going to give antibiotics more to prevent the line infections, and antibiotics can cause c.diff.<BR/><BR/>Ironic, huh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29955732.post-59320686254948636212007-08-20T17:21:00.000-04:002007-08-20T17:21:00.000-04:00I agree with midwife with a knife.

I'm not convinced, though, that all central line related infections or even all foley-related utis are preventable. Sometimes patients need a central line or a foley, and sometimes those things get infected. It's sort of part of the cost of doing business. Sure, we should minimize their use, and be as sterile as possible with them, but sometimes bad stuff happens.Midwife with a Knifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04309579302399381913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29955732.post-33612317864977198902007-08-19T18:17:00.000-04:002007-08-19T18:17:00.000-04:00Don't usually do this, but I'm tagging you for my ...Don't usually do this, but I'm tagging you for my 3 blog wishes meme... <BR/>See my blog for more details: <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://rblsc2006.blogspot.com/2007/08/wishing-for-more-wishes.html" REL="nofollow"><BR/>3 wishes meme</A> <BR/><BR/>Happy Sunday!Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897760883997811787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29955732.post-2391468841633585042007-08-19T16:03:00.000-04:002007-08-19T16:03:00.000-04:00Well I gotta tell you, if hospitals were a little ...Well I gotta tell you, if hospitals were a little more careful maybe people wouldn't get bedsores and c-difficile. I believe that's what killed my mother in the end and currently my best friends father, just hospitalized one week has hospital pneumonia. Is Medicare private or government run? The first tests they do are urine and blood anyway that should eliminate at least the uti infections which can be deadly. Sponges and stuff, yeh make hospitals a little more responsible. Your right, government needs to clean up it's own house but that doesn't preclude cleaning up the other crap, right....ciaoRosittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05722304052321553692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29955732.post-71213875205775105992007-08-19T14:41:00.000-04:002007-08-19T14:41:00.000-04:00Call me a pessimist, but I see it as the gov't try...Call me a pessimist, but I see it as the gov't trying to cut corners...with no "noble" intent at all.Nikki Neurotichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699784181113365713noreply@blogger.com
