COVID Thanks Yous! (Part 2)

11/27/2020

6. No one thinks I am anti-social anymore – just health conscious :0)
7. With my lack of travel -- I have saved a bunch of money this year and…
8. My car has held up another year!
9. My fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes are improving because I can’t move them with my N95 on 40+ hours a week.
10. I have grown even more grateful for my freedom to go to the church of my choice, worship how I see fit, associate with whomever I chose.

COVID Thank Yous! (Part 1)

11/20/2020

With Thanksgiving right around the corner (and so many serious situations to pray over), I thought a COVID list of less serious things may be amusing.

1. My mask covers all the acne it is causing, so no one else can see it.
2. And I have not even gotten a cold for more than 12 months (that’s a record!)
3. Behind my goggles, facemask, scrub cap, and gown patients can’t see my name tag or even describe me to complain.
4. Without any scheduled activities, 2020 has been a very productive year. I am getting so much done at home (none of it cleaning, though).
5. I am now much more grateful for my health, my family, and the love we share.

ED Lingo! (Part 2)

The phrase “get worked up” doesn’t mean to “get emotional” it means getting the tests the doctor needs to decide if you have an emergent problem.
Your nurse may take you for a road test before you go home. This has nothing to do with cars and the only thing you have to do to pass is walk around the ED.
If the doctor has “explained” everything and you heard every word he said but nothing that he meant – ask the nurse. Believe me, he thought he was very clear :0).

ED Lingo! (Part 1)

Emergency departments have their own style of medical speak – and some of it is specific to a particular ED.

If a doctor needs someone to interrogate “it”, he’s not looking for a secret agent – he needs a pacemaker technician to see if a pacemaker is working.

A “magnet” in the ED could be the MRI or a pacer magnet (which can quickly reset a pacemaker).
If the doctor says he is going to “spin” you. He means he is planning to get a CT scan.
Ps. You don’t actually spin.
