Sometimes you wonder...
Today I watched a recently discharged drunk patient quietly load up
his gear onto the Doctor's motorcycle and attempt to push it out of
the parking lot. Needless to say security stopped him.

New news update on H1N1 from medscape!
New news update on H1N1 from medscape!
Basically, Paula Moyer is saying that people need to get vaccinated!
The good news is that so far the virus is genetically stable. No
mutations = no extra or booster shots = happy me!

That's about all for now. Playing the game Pandemic really gets me
thinking about hand washing!

Mandatory Misinformation
The H1N1 vaccine isn't mandatory, so to speak, but it's pretty dang hard to get around getting it.
Pushing for vaccine
In essence, the policy states that if you don't get it and fall ill during the flu season you cannot come to work for 7 days and cannot take sick pay or vacation pay during this time. A pretty serious threat to some people. Luckily, I'm not one of them. <- link to bank account broken ;)
It's a free shot that will protect you and your patients and the thing most people are worried about is the fact that their employer is "infringing on their rights."
This new vaccine is made the same way as the old flu shots and in 95% of patients elicits an effective antibody response!
I guess what makes me mad is this makes me realize that I'm working with people who would rather take a stand on principles that don't matter than protect their families and their patients.
Yea, so what if you're "relatively healthy" and have "never gotten the flu" this strain is affecting healthy young adults. Also, H1N1 is not severe for healthy young adults but is for the elderly and those with co-morbid conditions. If you're a health care worker who do you think you'll be caring for? Could you possibly be a carrier without exhibiting signs of H1N1?

Email blog update #1
I know, I'm enough of a geek I should have figure this out a long time
ago... Hey, I've been busy!
Speaking of all that jazz. I got the job in the ER. I went from extern
to intern and all the glory that entails. I've seen some pretty cool
stuff, unfortunately, I can't remember it all/don't want to make a
megapost.
I'm almost done with my internship as well. It last for 500 hours,
then you're "on your own" or at least as on your own as it gets in our
ER. They are very good about teamwork.
Anyway, I'll have to give more on that later.
It's dinner time..
