Nursing Law & Order

http://advocatefornurses.typepad.com/my2cents

Nursing Law and Order. Nursing Law and Order provides commentary on legal issues facing nurses. This is not legal advice. February 08, 2017. Purchase Your Own Individual Professional Liability Insurance Policy ASAP. I am running behind as usual in blog posts in 2017. I am committed to posting at least 1-3x a week in 2017 because this is RN Renewal in Ohio and Indiana and RN and LPN Renewal in Kentucky and this is going to be a very busy year for me. . Just my two cents but all nurses @ a minimum should h...

Great Z's: March 2015

http://www.blog.greatzs.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Anesthesiologists. There are no substitutes. Sunday, March 22, 2015. No Match Day For Law Students. Meanwhile, our professional colleagues over at the law school next door don't get quite the same exaltation. Many of them will not have a job when they finish school in just a few short months. In fact, quite a few were probably deceived by their own schools in the beginning when they advertised the job placement success rate of their graduates. How big of an affect will this new criteria have? George Wash...

Great Z's: Waze Must Be Banned

http://www.blog.greatzs.com/2015/05/waze-must-be-banned.html

Anesthesiologists. There are no substitutes. Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Waze Must Be Banned. How can one drive while looking at this screen? Doctors have always been at the forefront of public health. We have strongly advocated for smoking cessation, low fat and low salt diets, and increased exercise. That's why we should also be more vocal about the scourge of distracted driving, and in this case, the fiendishly addictive nature of the smartphone app Waze. With the increasing use of safety features like ant...

Great Z's: You Expect Me To Examine My Patients? I'm An Anesthesiologist.

http://www.blog.greatzs.com/2010/10/you-expect-me-to-examine-my-patients-im.html

Anesthesiologists. There are no substitutes. Wednesday, October 13, 2010. You Expect Me To Examine My Patients? Do anesthesiologists perform physical exams? And is it necessary? These questions came up when I read a really interesting article about Dr. Abraham Verghese. I'm more likely to browse through the history, glance at the labs, and wheel the patient to the OR than to slow down the turnover time by percussing the chest and palpating the belly for virtually zero gain in patient safety. Anesthesiolo...

Great Z's: Fifty Shades Of Red

http://www.blog.greatzs.com/2015/05/fifty-shades-of-red.html

Anesthesiologists. There are no substitutes. Saturday, May 2, 2015. Fifty Shades Of Red. Oh wow. I don't even know how to begin this one. I saw this come across my Twitter feed today and it totally blew my mind. Dr. Edwin Perez. An anesthesiologist from Newark NJ, is seen participating in a sadomasochism party. Is it a coincidence that Dr. Perez is listed also as a pain physician? Labels: Life in Anesthesia. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Preaching To The Choir. Today Im Ashamed To Be A Republican.

Great Z's: Doctors Got Screwed By Congress And The AMA Rejoices

http://www.blog.greatzs.com/2015/04/doctors-got-screwed-by-congress-and-ama.html

Anesthesiologists. There are no substitutes. Monday, April 27, 2015. Doctors Got Screwed By Congress And The AMA Rejoices. Doctors' livelihoods were seriously damaged by the SGR fix that was recently passed by Congress. How can that be? The American Medical Association has been trumpeting its involvement. We're supposed to be happy we've been given extra handouts worth a total of 2.5% over five years and nothing after that? Over the next two years. And if you count the back pay the teachers lost duri...

Great Z's: From Horndog Doc To ISIS Propagandist

http://www.blog.greatzs.com/2015/05/from-horndog-doc-to-isis-propagandist.html

Anesthesiologists. There are no substitutes. Sunday, May 3, 2015. From Horndog Doc To ISIS Propagandist. The popular image of the foreign members of the terrorist group ISIS is that of the disgruntled poorly educated westerner who is unattached to any family or significant others. Some have half jokingly suggested that if these young men would just find some girlfriends then they wouldn't have the desire to go off to the Middle East desert to wreak havoc. It is illegal under Australian law to join a terr...

Great Z's: December 2014

http://www.blog.greatzs.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Anesthesiologists. There are no substitutes. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. The Decline Of Medical Neologism. Medicine has always been good at inventing new terms to describe the human condition. Traditionally the words were based on Greek and Latin roots. That's why we get words like "hypokalemia" that can still stump new medical students, National Spelling Bee contestants, and electronic medical record software engineers. To describe the orange peel looking skin of advanced breast cancer) and cri-du-chat.

Great Z's: What Do CRNA's Really Want?

http://www.blog.greatzs.com/2015/05/what-do-crnas-really-want.html

Anesthesiologists. There are no substitutes. Sunday, May 10, 2015. What Do CRNA's Really Want? Recently, a bill came up in the California legislature to allow the use of anesthesiologist assistants to practice in this state. Never heard of AA's. Of clinical work. There are currently about 1,700 AA's working in the country. To allow greater access to health care, of course. According to Dr. Paul Yost. So who would oppose granting patients increased access to medical care? Why would CRNA's be against havin...
