Well, I must be getting better ...
because I'm starting to notice errors in the medical shows again ...

Expectant mother starts bleeding ...

Doctor: Get me two units of O negative STAT!!

OK .... here's why it's wrong wrong WRONG!!!

Any expectant mother is going to have a blood typing done pretty much the second she gets into the hospital.

Without specifying packed cells, the doctor has about a fifty percent chance of having whole blood transfused.

If the mother is any type other than O, the O whole blood could do some pretty nasty things to her body and could damage the fetus as well.

And ... that's how I know I must be getting better ...

Glad you're getting well enough to nitpick med shows again

Lilac - maybe you need a holiday to get over the reading and sunburn?

Hell no. I can't even say for certain why I've been so damn sick for two days.

But, because I like you so much, I'm not going to charge you for the advice I'm not giving you.

Well that's a relief

Hope you feel better! Have you gone to the doctor?

No, I'm due to go on Friday for the last check of my wrist and hand. I think by then I will be much much better.

I was even able to feed the cats and take the trash out tonight without puking ... or even feeling like I really needed to.

If I can get through all my evening chores intact, then I'll know for certain that I'll be good to go tomorrow.

I'm not a "miss smarty pants," but rather a Mr. Dr. Smarty Pants... So I'll tell you what's wrong with your back: Nothing. There's absolutely nothing wrong with your back. The problem is that you're trying to use it incorrectly. You know that stuff that hurts when you do it? Don't do that!

Xenophon

P.S. Note that I'm "Dr. Smarty Pants" because I have a Ph.D. in Software Engineering. I don't even pretend to be an MD! On the other hand, having a Ph.D. seems to mean that I'm 'qualified' to opine on any topic, whether it's part of my expertise or not. (Don't ya just LOVE the academic environment?)

Your hamstrings are too tight. Do stretches.

I've been at this long enough that the therapist probably took instructions from me.
