Horses not Zebras

A great read about (+) D-Dimers and their consequences. Not every elevated D-Dimer needs a CTA chest. Please understand that and argue for that.

HIPPA Hippo

In today's sue-happy, no-don't-hurt-my-feelings, I'm-telling! kind of world this disclaimer is unfortunately necessary. I do enough censorship, self-restraint and tongue-biting at work, I sure as hell will not do it here; this is my private space to decompress.
The views and/or opinions expressed on this page, by the original poster, and those providing comments, do not reflect the original poster's actual thoughts and/or beliefs, nor the thoughts and/or beliefs of any of her affiliates and employers. All names have been creatively changed to protect the guilty, the stupid, & the drug seekers. This page may not be reproduced for any reason and may not be used a court of law, criminal proceeding, or disciplinary proceeding.

If you are here for a warm & fuzzy story about how wonderful it is to be a nurse, leave now, and never come back.

If you are here to try to decide if you'd like to work in an ER, leave now, and never come back.

If you are here because you or your loved one are in the hospital and you want to know what the heck is going on, leave now, and never come back.

If you are a supervisor, leave now and never come back.

...However...

If you are an emergency room nurse, and you're looking for a cynical, funny, dark read, you've come to the right place. If you decide that this continues to tickle your ER funny bone, feel free to let your family members read it, maybe they'll understand why you're so snarly after a stretch of shifts.

If you feel the uncontrollable need to post negative, bitchy, whiny comments calling me a "miserable human being" and telling me that I have no business being in healthcare with my attitude, go right ahead. I understand you're frustrated with your chronic fibromyalgia and my negativity has upset your delicate feelings. You, just like me, need a space to vent. If that space happens to be the comments section of my blog, I'll be amused.
