YAY I'm home:P     What was your first clue? :lol:  anyway how are y'all? i'm good, no, Great...and wired and no I haven't been drinking the vault:P   I swear I haven't touched that stuff since the night I stayed up all night:P

 I saw this news story headliner a few days ago.....and no I wasn't watching the news.  I missed this story....it was a good one too.   ANYWAY.....I found out that there was a medicine for diabetes that causes higher risk for a heart atttack.   Seeing as how I'm on pills AND insulin, I was curious to find out what it was.   I just found out today what med that was.........one called Avandia.   the story in the paper I saw it in scared the crap outta me  cause, well yeah, I USED to take avandia.I was getting free samples of it because it was so expensive and the doctor actually saw that I was still paying for meds out of pocket....I still do but that's bout to change......and it's not the point.  I was taken off it  bout 4 months ago before the story came out.    so as well as getting scared half to death,  a wave of releif came over me at the same time that I had stopped taking it.   You have no idea how thankful I am that I am no longer taking this stuff.   Now that we know I'm gonna be alright, well we can all hope...J/k  I'll be fine:P  Enjoy this email.....gonna break it into two so it's not too long:P

Funny Medical Stories:

1.   A man comes into the ER and yells "My wife's gonna have her baby in the cab".  I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the cab, lifted the lady's dress, and begain to take off her underwear.Suddenly I noticed there are several cabs and i was in the wrong one.

2.  At the beginning of my shift I had placed my stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall. "big breaths" I INSTRUCTED.  "They used to be" she replied

3. One day I had to be the bearer of bad news when I told a wife her husband had died of a Massive Myocardial Infarct. Not more the five minutes later I heard her reporting to the rest of the family that he had died of a Massive Internal Fart

4.   During a patient's two week follow up with his cardiologist, he informed me that he was having trouble with one of his medications.  "Which one?" I asked. "The patch. The nurse told me to put a new one on every six hours and I'm running out of places to put 'em". I had him quickly undress and discovered what I'd hoped I wouldn't see. Yes, the man had over 50 patches on  his body.  Now the instructions include removal of the old one before putting on a new one.

Hope y'all enjoyed those.....BYEEEE!!!!
