Pre Migration Most liked posts in thread: I'm down...but not out!

You looked great at the Dragon, so keep up whatever freaky hipster stuff you are in to! See you down there next year, might have to show you the new place. (I should have one by then)

And I still need a bottle of your Hot Sauce! That stuff was GOOD!

 

You could easily make that goal... Just stay active! That is the real key to weight control... No diet in the world will work for somebody who sits on the couch all day.

Keep walking those pounds off, and pick it up a bit now that its getting warm. It's obviously working for you.

 

You owe us no apologies Nathan... This is a serious matter beyond the norm and I hope you're feeling better very soon. All the best!

 

Now you just need to get rid of that Mynes tune in your heart. We are sending Jan with a ViPEC for your chest.

Tell your heart to :mtrn:

 

I would drive out next week to see you guys an visit Nathan, but unfortunately work has me flying out to LA this Sunday morning and not returning next until next Saturday night. The thought had crossed my mind.

I am sure he will be well taken care of by you guys and the host of Dr.'s.

I will be checking in on M\A while I am in LA all next week when I can. Plus you have my number so you can all or txt me after Tuesday.

 

Bring 'em for the nurses and staff... keeps them dropping by the room.

"How are you doing, sir? Can I get you anything? Ummm... good donuts, thanks!"

Worked during my extended stay in the Hotel d'Lysol a few years ago.

 

A post-op morphine induced nightmare.

 

Taylor IS a dude.

The meds are really screwing Nate up. Someone give him some Narcan ASAP.

 

The hierarchy at the university is totally different than a private hospital, but the coat thing does work at the university, for the most part. But there is one HUGE exception. Where I trained, we wore pink scrubs in the OR, so they'd be instantly recognizable, as they weren't to be worn outside the OR, and to discourage theft. BUT, if you were staff and VERY high on the food chain, wearing those pink scrubs outside the OR was the ultimate distinction. If you could wear pink scrubs without fear of disciplinary action, you were pretty much a department head or close. And it meant you were above wearing a coat.

The hierarchy at a university hospital:

1. Board of Regents
2. Chief of Staff
3. Department Heads
4. Staff Physicians
5. Mid-level providers
6. RN's
7.LPN's
8.Support staff-receptionists, secretaries, etc.
9. Janitorial Staff
10. Resident Physicians
11. Pile of Dog Poo
12. Medical Students

At a catholic teaching hospital, the list remains the same, except at the top are the nuns, #2 is god, then the bishops.

 

So a very tall person wearing a long coat next to a very short person wearing a short coat could be confused with being of lower status than the short person?

 

Nathan, you're in our thoughts and prayers. You've got a lot of support out here!

 

While the Gnat is there, shouldn't you call it the Gnat cave?

^^^ Could...

 

Nate, don't forget to take a good long pee before they wheel you in tomorrow morning....

We'll all be waiting for you....

Good luck...

 

They'll watch for a while to make sure the gaskets are holding and everything is torqued down properly before taking him out of service mode.

 

It's been a long time since I've been on site but getting the call about Nathan gave me the power to wish Nathan a safe and speedy recovery. He is one of the good guys and my friend.

Nathan, you will be in my heart and mind as you recover. May GOD bless and watch over you.

Nate should ask for the rib spreader as a souvenir...then make a rib rack out of it for the grill.

I had to be one of the gears/handles, no way the spreader itself cracked. Otherwise Nate's only fear is kryptonite.

 

Glad to hear most things worked out alright.

There is not much to a rib spreader to break, I wonder what happened?

I'll bet Metalman could make something much nicer, possibly with an ice cream scoop motif.

Glad the procedure went smoothly. Praying for a speedy and complete recovery.

 

Glad it went well! But those Junior Mints always work, and when your ribs are tougher than a Palo Uber rib spreader and you have a nurse named Taylor, things are assured of turning out well. You have to be careful with the "motivating" though, if you motivate too much you could go blind, and need further opthalmic surgery.
