Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself. Harvey S. Firestone

The people with whom you work reflect your own attitude. If you are suspicious, unfriendly and condescending, you will find these unlovely traits echoed all about you. But if you are on your best behavior, you will bring out the best in persons with whom you are going to spend most of your waking hours.

Some people get spiritual because they see the light and some people get spiritual because they feel the heat!

How do you know if you're truly a servant? See how you react the next time someone treats you like one.

Medical Knowledge

Yesterday in the comments, W-spouse wrote: Ok, here's your first test for nursing: say Phenergan and Metoprolol, that's all for today on meds. Moving on to procedures: colonoscopy and arthroscopy. Now body parts: duodenum and uvula. Answers due tomorrow, either definitions or use them in the "you might be a redneck" context!

Well folks she really doesn't think that I am as smart as I know I am so here goes !!!!

Phenergan: Pronounced as "Fen-a-gin", a drug used when W-spouse has migraines and feels like throwing up.
Metoprolol: Pronounced as "Met-a-pro-fe-nal", a drug used for hypertension, when you over extend something. I take a form of this daily because the doctor says my blood pressure is hyperextended.
Colonoscopy: Pronounced as "Co-lo-nost-o-mi", this procedure allows doctors to legally play with your annular.
Arthoscopy: Pronounced(this was a hard one), "R-thur-copys", anytime they do a procedure on a man called Arthur, they use this term when they make copies of his paperwork.
Duodenum: Pronounced as "Doo-Doo-en", it's a part of the intestine that makes you Doo Doo, hence the pronunciation.
Uvula: Pronouced as "Vulva", I'm just to embarrassed to even describe this.

I don't see what's the big deal about all this medical stuff, I think I could be a Doctor and start surgerizing in a couple of months.  :)

Ok Dr. Feelgood, you can start with examining metatarsals and phalanges, then move on to omentumectomy. We'll see if your patients have good outcomes!
