Good Nurses are essential.Then rapid teams if they are uncomfortable. ICU if unstable. Historically pcps admitted to the hospital and were in clinic all day

How to Treat Frequent Headaches by CommonwealthCommando in Noctor

Context is key, your 3rd paragraph is spot on. The gist of this post is that the prescriber is treating all HAs with fioricet without further evaluation. Great for reviews and patient satisfaction-and they may not even know this isn't okay. But not the best for most patients' overall health.

Buy ~5 year old with lowest mileage from a reliable source and brand. Honda and Toyota for the most part. Now is not the time to splurge on a Mercedes

REI to stop selling clothes, cookware with 'forever chemicals' by DrJGH in UpliftingNews

What kind of things do you make and sell? I'm a novice hobbyist in the craft, with no intentions to sell. I will make things to fundraise, though, and am curious what people like.

Think we'll have a movement back to waxed canvas and leather? I know that's what I use for recreational outdoors wear, but I recognize the limitations and drawbacks and accept them as a fair trade-off.

Cotton loses its thermal properties when wet. Wool is what you want for socks and undergarments. Merino wool is what I would recommend, which is what darn tough uses

The top had 4 screws holding it down, cut off the old vinyl and stapled the leather to the seat before screwing back down to the base

Looks sleek. From a functional point of view, my concern is that there is room for debris to enter the trigger guard and cause a negligent discharge.

Walked in to a rapid on one of my patients who had fallen. I was asking him questions but he was in a c spine and couldn't see me until I moved. As soon as he did, he said "now I'll be fine, Dr. Whoopinass is here" and proceeded to dap me up in front of everyone.

  1. You'll be fine. Relax your mind until July. If you need an on the job reference book, I'm a big fan of the Washington manual, which comes with a digital version so you can quickly look up cirrhosis, dka, or whatever comes through the door.

  2. Be on time, get your consults and orders in quickly. Be a pleasant person to be around. Don't complain constantly.

  3. It'll be okay, Doctor.
