Yep, making amends. A lot of people who make it that far at least have a strong desire to get sober.

Looks like she probably gave the ear nub herpes to boot.

At our hospital this local anesthetic is taken from its original vial and placed into small syringes by the pharmacist/pharmacist tech so that an entire vial is not wasted on each patient.

In a busy hospital with a flip room, not out of reason that 4 patients could have gotten the spinals with the wrong medication before the first one reached the recovery room and they realized there was an issue.

How manh doses would be in the original vial, 4? Four patients could have gotten the doses of the original, mistaken vial, and the pharmacist/tech moved to a new, correct vial. Is that possible?

Meaning the pharmacy used up the mistsken vial and moved on to a fresh one when prepping for tbe day's surgeries without noticing the mistake?

I also can’t think of why you would even draw up potassium for this surgery.

It isn’t exactly the first med you go with if things are going wrong.

It doesn’t make sense.

It definitely sounds like some frickery is going on.

In situations like this would everyone who worked in that OR for those procedures be suspended from duties until they get to the bottom of it? It doesn't give you the warm and fuzzies if not.

So the best qualified to be president of a hospital is a ??????????? I do wonder what his resume would tell us.

It is a woman endocrinologist with 36 years of experience. First studied at the 12th ranked medical school in India, then at UT Knoxville, and Vandy. Practices at Vandy and is licensed in both Tennessee and Alabama.

Probably. They're a problem everywhere. Inconsiderate assholes believe that because they spent a couple hundred bucks on a drone they are entitled to fly it whenever and wherever they want. Hell, when pieces of shite are damn near causing helicopters and planes working wildfires to crash and they still refuse to not fly them you know it is an issue.

Must we now bomb Syria so that we can then bring ten million of them over here to live with us here in the USA?

It is a little more nuanced than that. Trump is quite fond of the terrorist currently running Syria. It will be interesting to see where this goes.

Nice pics!

In related news, Bermuda has spent tens of thousands of dollars over the past couple of months because someone said they saw an Eastern Diamondback on the island. They even brought in a couple of snake tracking dogs and handlers from the US to try to find it, but had no luck.

It has been a big deal on the little island.

Give it time, she hasn't been on the meds long. Let it build up and see how she does. Don't be afraid to try a different combo if this one doesn't help. As long as she's eating, drinking, and is alert the ol' girl is still hanging in there.

It is always tough watching them get old. We just have to do our best for them.

I hadn't heard.
