I know the fl. only as for example a notice in biographies, meaning the most fecond time of a poet, writer, artist (from the latin floruit). That what you mean? I am a bit puzzled about that being a "concept" |

Yes, that was what I meant. Isn't that a concept? I call the time of birth for a person a concept also.

I'd call those facts rather than concepts.

Well, the actual time of birth is a fact but how can you call the concept "time of birth" for a fact? "time of birth" is a thing that is built up of other things (time, person, birth) and seems to match the classical theory of concepts as described in http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/concepts/.

Now they're trying to say that we don't need to order labs stat, since they say that they will get results just as quickly. So, the first day I heard this, I did not order the Na stat for an ECT case. We sat around for half an hour waiting after we called repeatedly and were finally told that it was being run routine, since i hadn't ordered it stat. Morons.

Back when I was in school, I was working in the blood bank. We always had doctors ordering stat crossmatches, even when they really weren't. One day we got four of them in at the same time. So, I just called each doctor, told them to work out the order among themselves and get back to us when they had decided the real medical priority. That approach worked so beautifully .... they had one guy call us back and give us the order of priority for the work, and it was all done to everyone's satisfaction. |
