Yes, it's been a while since I was able to post something. I just don't get on the computer the way I used too. Anyway, here goes......
As part of our initial assessment and data base, we ask a multitude of questions. There are some that are more important than others, especially when we get to the systems of the body. We would definitely like to know if you have heart problems or lung problems and the like. So recently one of our nurses was asking a patient if she had any numbness or tingling. The pt. raised her hands above her head and said, "only when I put my hands up like this for a long time". Now, I don't know about you, but that happens to most people, pregnant or not. And how many pregnant women do you know that sit and raise their hands over their heads for a long time. Really????
Our halls have been very busy over the last few weeks. I am thankful to have a great job, even in the craziness of it all. I'm hoping everyone is having a great week.
