That looks like a pretty big room. You’re lucky to have this space for your music.

"I dismissed a medical student."I think I’d simply send the student to the library for the entire rotation. This is still done, right? Like for the stupid or annoying ones?

A little dab will do you...I meant to say chlorohexidine, not peroxide.

I've seen Mupirocin used for years as a preventative, by applying it to the first quarter inch or so of the nasal passages.
And speaking of COVID ... I knew people who would gargle with an alcohol based mouthwash and use a swab with dilute H2O2 in the first inch or so of the nasal passages after arriving home from being out around other people. Wonder if there has been a study on that?
I wonder too @Jolly. Me too with the peroxide, but orally. I had to undergo a number of dental procedures during Covid and was prescribed peroxide washes post. I’ve continued these post Covid with my dental stuff, checks, cleanings, surgeries. The funny thing was prior to having dental problems, like with routine checks and cleanings, I used to always get a cold afterwards. Now I know peroxide acts with gram positive bacteria, and my colds were likely viral, but I haven’t had any colds or sniffles or anything post dental stuff since doing these dilute peroxide rinses.

Acetaminophen & NICUThere wasn’t IV Tylenol when I practiced. But respiratory depression remains real, as does the effect on MAP with morphine, ..mif they still give morphine now. Many more prems undergo surgery now .. they are lighter and younger too. The procedures are more complex and invasive. The IV route, esp. central, is preferable for all meds because tiny stomachs don’t absorb drugs predictably. As to what you, Ax, questioned, NICU & PICU nurses (those with experience, that is) are pretty astute picking up pain signals with neonates. Sometimes it’s vital signs, sometimes it’s posturing, cries or lack thereof, sweating, grimacing, facials, lots of stuff. Knowing the babe shift to shift, their changes in behaviour, knowing the parents too and how they see their babe hour to hour, lots of stuff.

Kind of reminds me of dog agility trials, but you put two Shelties in the area.
Ha. I thought this too. Those kids are amazing. I wonder of the injuries incurred with this.

Snake BiteI kept care of a kid with a necrotic foot in the ICU in Alabama. There were 2 patients I recall the year I was there. Both sets of parents brought the snakes in for identification (1 was shot up pretty badly; the other was hacked to death).
@Jolly Was religious snake handling ever banned down South? I kind of remember this making the news in Okpella. -
I can see both sides...Karen karma. I love when this happens.

I’m picturing an aging lesbian tenured academic, drunk (again) after a bottle of wine, shouting at her grad students doing the mandatory qualitative research methodologies course because she’s forgotten to wear her hearing aide (again). …That was a semester I’ll never forget. -
What’s happening at Columbia?@Jolly said in What’s happening at Columbia?:
I think we're in big trouble.
I firmly believe in a free speech area on campus. Protest, scream, argue and persuade to your heart's content. At LSU, it used to be called Free Speech Alley, where as long as it didn't get physical or break any laws such as public nudity or shooting up drugs, you could say or do about what you wanted to. But your time at the university would be very short if you wanted to carry that stuff out of the alley to where it impinged upon other students and their education.
We had one where I did undergrad, “Speakers’ Corner”.. It was an inside large area, an intersection of 4 hallways & the main entry to 4 buildings. Everything was protested: tuition, abortion, gays, women’s’ rights, wars, Trudeau #1, Quebec, guns, cannabis. Things were also celebrated: Hockey, last days of classes. When the crowds got too large, they simply had the fire department close it down for safety reasons. People exited to the outside to continue on an adjacent small hill, which also got closed down by campus security & the police on occasion.

Walgreens: "Can't fill that prescription."Ocular shingles, or imminent risk thereof is an ophthalmologist’s area of expertise. Thank goodness the patient had access to this type of MD. The risk of vision loss or blindness is real.
Related, my elderly auntie woke up one morning unable to see out of one eye. She called her eye doctor (not an ophthalmologist). She went in. He looked, called an ophthalmologist, did some initial prednisone drops & got her in to see the ophthalmologist asap that day (an incredible feat given this is Alberta). Sudden vision loss is a medical emergency. What was wrong with her? She had the beginnings of a viral infection (not Shingles) targeting her optic nerve. She was told if she’d waited longer, she could’ve lost her vision permanently. Thank goodness my auntie didn’t go see her GP or go to Emerg. (this is Alberta). The ophthalmologist tweaked the prednisone dosage, told her what to expect over the course of the next few weeks, booked follow-up with himself and her GP. Moral of the story .. Optometrists know eyes. Eye MDs know bodies & eyes. Both know when to act quickly when needed.
