Surprised? eBay Has Nursing Supplies, scrubs, uniforms, stethescopes, etc.:"You can find nursing supplies right here! With over 5 million items for sale every day, you'll find the nursing supplies you're looking for at the world's online marketplace - eBay!"
http://www.nursefriendly.com/ebay/Nurses' Station:"The idea for the Nurses' Station Catalog was conceived in 1989. After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses."

- ER:"Media products under your influence, particularly the NBC/Warner drama "ER," are harming the profession of 2.7 million American nurses by giving the public an inaccurate and inadequate account of what nurses really do to save and improve lives. Research suggests that "ER" strongly and negatively influences the way children view nursing. These products contribute to the nursing shortage, a public health crisis that threatens millions worldwide."
- NBC's "Passions":"NBC's "Passions" solves nursing shortage: monkeys can do the job! Starting in March 2003 and at least as recently as late August, NBC's campy, supernatural daytime soap opera "Passions" has featured an orangutan named Precious in the role of the private duty nurse of one of its characters--a bold step backwards in the already slow...evolution...of the media's treatment of nurses. more..."
- "Scrubs" defines nursing:""Scrubs" defines nursing: it's all about shutting up and following physician "orders. " Tonight's episode of NBC's "Scrubs," which purports to teach nurse Carla Espinosa that nursing is all about doing what physicians tell you, is one of the most virulently anti-nurse prime time television episodes the Center has ever seen. more..."

Leprosy, Hansens Disease, Medical Reference, Resources, Legal Nursing Consultants, Medical/Legal Consulting
Leprosy is a chronic granulomatous disease principally affecting the skin and peripheral nervous system, caused by Mycobacterium leprae. Although much improved in the last 25 years, knowledge of the pathogenesis, course, treatment, and prevention of the disease continues to evolve. The skin lesions and deformities were historically responsible for the stigma attached to the disease. However, even with proper multidrug therapy (MDT), the consequent sensory and motor damage results in the deformities and disabilities associated with leprosy. The earliest description of leprosy comes from India around 600 BCE. It was then described in the Far East around 400 BCE. In the fourth century, the disease was imported into Europe, where its incidence peaked in the 13th century. The disease has now nearly disappeared from Europe. Affected immigrants spread leprosy to North America.

More Weight Equals Longer Hospital Stays -- Sociologists Weigh In On Obesity Increasing The Length Of Hospital Stays
Sociologists found a direct relationship between obesity and duration and frequency of hospital stays. Researchers found that, on average, obese persons stayed one and a half days longer than those with normal weight. Sociologists attribute the connection to disease--46 percent of obese adults have high blood pressure. Obesity is also linked to an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke and other illnesses. The researchers also note that the longer a person has been obese, the more likely their hospital stay is lengthened.
See also:The numbers on our nation's scales are going up. A recent study puts Mississippi at the top of the list with the highest rate of adult obesity in the country. New research shows how extra weight is adding up to longer hospital stays.
Annette Armstead knows what it takes to stay healthy. Before she started exercising, she weighed 225 pounds.
"I was tired of people telling fat jokes," said Armstead. "I was in pain all the time. I was so heavy that my knees would give out on me, and I was always falling down."
Obesity is linked with increased risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other illnesses.
"I had problems with arthritis and different health problems, and everything they were saying [indicated] I was too heavy and I needed to lose weight," Armstead said. A new study by sociologists at Purdue University found obesity also leads to more frequent and longer hospital stays.
"Obese people, on average, stay at least one to one and a half days longer than a normal-weight individual," said Ken Ferraro, Ph.D., a sociologist at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind.
The main reason for extra hospitalizations is disease. Forty-six percent of obese adults in the study had high blood pressure, and obese adults who have been overweight since childhood and carried extra weight into adulthood pay the highest price for being heavy.
"The longer the person is obese, the longer their stay in the hospital," Dr. Ferraro said.
Tackling obesity at a young age is crucial to staying out of the hospital later on.
"If you can tell other people that you're on a diet, a lot of them actually might help you to stay on that diet, but if you're silent to your friends, then obviously they can't support you," Dr. Ferraro advised.
Armstead credits her weight loss to diet and exercise and has never felt better.
"I feel healthier at 55 than I did at 25," she said.
-->ABOUT TYPE II DIABETES: Type II diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. In this form of the disease, either the body does not produce enough insulin, or the cells in the body ignore insulin. This can stop glucose from moving out of the bloodstream and into cells. Cells need the energy that glucose provides, and too much sugar in the blood can cause damage to the eyes, nerves, kidneys, or heart. These complications are very similar to the threats from type I diabetes, though type II can sometimes be treated with medications and diet instead of insulin (obtained through injections or in an inhaled form).
WHAT IS BLOOD PRESSURE: Blood pressure is the force in the arteries when the heart beats, and when the heart is at rest. When blood pressure is high, there is an increased risk of heart disease (which leads to heart attack) and stroke. It is most common in adults over age 35, and is especially prevalent in African Americans, the middle-aged and elderly, obese people, heavy drinkers, and women who are taking birth control pills. Those with diabetes, gout or kidney disease are also prone to suffer from high blood pressure.
WHAT CAUSES HEART ATTACKS: Heart attack is the leading cause of death in North and South America and in Europe. It is usually the result of prolonged hardening and narrowing of the arteries that direct blood into the heart. When blood vessels are healthy, oxygen-rich blood flows easily to all the muscles and organs of the body. But if they become clogged by the buildup of fatty deposits on vessel walls, blood can be cut off, killing heart muscle cells. This is called coronary heart disease, and it can lead to heart attacks or strokes.
The American Sociological Association contributed to the information contained in the TV portion of this report.

Understanding Childhood Immunizations | Seattle Mama Doc
It’s my true fortune that I spend the majority of my days with children–my patients and my own. But as a mom in the year 2010, I find I worry a lot. As a pediatrician, my job is to reassure. My experiences with these divergent, and then entirely interwoven roles, converge at one issue in particular: immunizations.
The reality is, we live in a vaccine-hesitant world. With my patients, my friends, and even my family, I hear many myths about vaccines. I hear truths, too. Mostly, I feel and witness worry. When it comes to getting shots, most everyone wants to know a little more. There’s no doubt that the things we read online and in the paper, or the mutterings we hear on the news and in line at the grocery store, have left us frightened about immunizations. I remember the fearful stories more than the reassuring ones. Don’t you?
Despite this worry, I believe that alongside the challenge of overweight/obesity, hesitancy about shots may be the biggest issues facing children, parents, and pediatricians today. I spend more minutes (hours) per day with vaccine-hesitant families than I ever imagined I would. So this is a part of my every day. But hold on a minute, this is not a post about the “rights” of doctors or vaccines or the “wrongs” of another group. This is a blog post to help illuminate your right to earnest, research-based information regarding immunizations. You need to have compassionate care rooted in scientific evidence; you need to know what science holds. What I mean is, you have a right to really understand why doctors recommend immunizations.
Vaccines are discussed nearly everywhere by nearly everyone. As a parent, be selective about what you read and with whom you discuss these issues. Not everyone at the water cooler has expertise in this area. And not everyone understands the enormity of the issue, let alone the repercussions of their advice. As the wise say, “Don’t believe everything you think,” either.
Some ideas about how to get what you need:
- Use the Internet. Yes, a doctor is telling you this. Don’t be shy or bashful about it. The clear majority of parents read about health information online (duh). And over 90% of parents who are online say they read about child health information. When you do this reading, find sources of information that reflect expertise (people who have training in medicine, science, or vaccines) not just experience with children.
- Print out information from the web pages or sites you use to make decisions. Bring this information to the office visit with your child’s doctor so you can have an informed, open discussion.
- There is wild myth that exists online regarding immunizations but there is also great, practical, scientific content, too. Keep in mind that when you read online, you can find any possible angle. The important thing to note is that nearly everything you read will sound like fact, no matter if it is factual, scientific, or quack. Vet the voices you listen to.
- Ask your pediatrician where (on and offline) to read about immunizations, particularly if you’re concerned at the end of a visit. If you worry about the risks and benefits surrounding immunizations, tell your pediatrician. Don’t assume they know how you feel.
- It’s always okay to ask questions! Don’t let the rituals of a doctor’s visit get in the way of finding out what you need to know.
What to ask at the office?
- Which immunization(s) is my child getting today?
- Why? (The short answer: immunity to and protection against life-threatening/life-altering infections)
- How will my child’s body respond? (It will mount an immune response. Fever, and/or redness or soreness at injection site are common, normal responses to immunizations)
- Will fever come? (Often yes. In some studies up to half of 2 month-old babies have temperature elevation after shots. This response proves their immune system is doing the right thing–responding with inflammation while building memory)
- Should my child still have a shot even though he/she is on antibiotics, has a cold, or will travel very soon? (All yes! Fever over 101 is the most typical reason to hold off on an immunization)
There are very few easy answers to vaccine questions. The longer, more philosophical responses will require minutes of conversation. If you have questions about shots, help shape the agenda of your visit with the doctor; tell the pediatrician at the beginning of the visit you have questions about shots so you’re not rushed right at the end of the visit. Your pediatrician is there for you, not only for clinical skill, but interpretation and support, so that you have a real shot at understating the benefits of immunization.
Websites I recommend:
- www.nnii.org : As one pediatrician put it, “I like NNii because it is independent of industry and government — takes no funds from either. The sole purpose is to provide science based, credible information in a manner parents can easily understand.”
- www.healthychildren.org : The AAP website designed for parents. It’s easy to read, has great information and backed by a force of 60,000 pediatricians making up the AAP. It’s a user-friendly ,and has up to date information.
- www.immunize.org : A website designed for doctors, this can be a useful place to look for policy statements, WHO advice, AAP advice and news about changing recommendations.
- www.ecbt.org Foundation co-founded by First Lady Rosalynn Carter to help families understand the need for timely (up to date) immunizations. There are videos and resources on getting your child’s shots if you can’t pay for them.
- www.vaccine.chop.edu : Great resource for scientific information about shots. This is written by a world renowned pediatric infectious disease and vaccine expert and has information on every shot. Website includes videos, down-loadable information sheets and answers to typical questions.
Any questions, please drop me a line.
