Floof: Sick food
Comments (41)I think that I've told this story before but it fits the subject matter so.....my mother used to feed us Jello in every form when we were sick. Chickenpox, measles, mumps, Lake Erie earaches, tonsillitis, you name it. Mother hovered with hot Jello, warm Jello, Jello poured over ice chips, Jello made with ginger ale. An understandable consequence of this sick bed menu is that I H.A.T.E congealed anything now, no matter what it is. So what do I do when my little Sprites are sick with whatever is making the rounds? Hot Jello, warm Jello, Jello poured over ice chips, and Jello made with ginger ale! 😁...See MoreHave you looked for face masks?
Comments (27)But I'm not going to freak out about me catching a virus that isn't any worse than the flu. If you are talking about the coronavirus, we still do not have enough information to make the conclusion you made above. There is too much information missing, some of it deliberately so because of political reasons by the Chinese government. It is good not to freak out, that doesn't help anything. But it is also good to make some preparations that might make life easier if you do end up ill with the virus, easily prepared food, water, otc meds....See MoreCOVID-19 -- A Slow Storm?
Comments (43)Lucille, he is right. Working on a med-surg unit I have NEVER suggested something to any residents or doctors, EVER-lol. Like the time a surgeon WASN'T cutting on a patient's foot a the bedside and I went to see if they had anything ordered for pain. Doctor told me he can't feel it, I did NOT tell him to look at his patient's face and he did not stop and go order some morphine. Have not seen an OB put a mother and baby at risk after another nurse told him he should not break the mother's water, baby's heart rate did not plummet and mom was definitely not rushed to OR for emergency C-section because the doctor almost killed the baby. Never happened. I've never had to call doctors constantly to fix a med error on a patient's chart, that, by-the-way, was processed by a pharmacist. This did not include a deadly 100 unit insulin order that happened quite frequently because the doctor didn't know how to put the order in right and well, pharmacy... Nursing school is also so easy that half our class every semester didn't fail out. Never happened and nursing school was a breeze. I could go on but I won't. You're wrong Lucille, just face it. He's right, as usual....See MoreThought-provoking
Comments (28)I found this about mask wearing in the Spanish Flu Epidemic. Below is a link to the article if you wish to read it. Amazing at how our response to corona mirrors much of the same response they used. WE haven't gained a whole lot of control over rogue viruses that kill us. Interesting that they still express the same opinion that the most important transmission is actually touching your face with dirty hands, but the masks do help. Interesting that a square yard of open weave fabric that is folded with it's grain lines running diagonally back and forth produces a fabric that has probably about as many germ trapping abilities as you would reasonably expect from a piece of fabric. Here is the excerpt. the gauze mask was another prevention method using similar ideas of contagion and germ theory. In the United States it was widely accepted for use in hospitals among health care workers. The face masks consisted of a half yard of gauze, folded like a triangular bandage covering the mouth, nose and chin (BMJ, 11/2/19118). These gauze masks acted to prevent the infectious droplets from being expelled by the mouth and from the hands, contaminated with microbe from being put to the mouth. The barrier from the hands was thought to be more important than the barrier from the air. The mask was also worn in some regions by the general population. In San Francisco the gauze masks were made a requirement of the entire population in a trial ordinance. This was later expanded to include San Diego in December. This rhyme was a popular way to remind people of the ordinance. Obey the laws And wear the gauze Protect your jaws From Septic Paws https://virus.stanford.edu/uda/fluresponse.html...See MoreEileen
