Brandi's fairly afraid of throwing up, and any time anyone is complaining about their stomach being a little upset she goes into lock down mode. <BR/><BR/>And the 5 a.m. thing too, which is the point that Logan stumbled into our room this morning.mattwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934926340973044413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914238121679939863.post-38703687146478695542009-04-01T07:51:00.000-04:002009-04-01T07:51:00.000-04:00I'm not a doctor (and don't play one on TV), but I...I'm not a doctor (and don't play one on TV), but I own and update a number of medical books, the PDR, etc. I was the one who was always worried that my daughter had some horrible disease - the ex was more like TheHusband.<BR/><BR/>However, there was the day I was "watching" her, and she managed to find a bottle of Excedrin in a box in storage that both of us would have sworn she couldn't get to. What she didn't eat she fed to the dog. Oh, yeah. Panic call to the poison control center, followed by Ipecac for both child and dog. And neither wanted to take the stuff.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, fun day.vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16955307244053931069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914238121679939863.post-76716191599104623432009-04-01T05:09:00.000-04:002009-04-01T05:09:00.000-04:00Reminded me of a lot of conversations in our house...Reminded me of a lot of conversations in our house, and neither of us is a doctor.<BR/><BR/>But my late grandfather was - and I must have gotten his genes somewhere...Ilyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05379167075203188111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914238121679939863.post-64828362530469243582009-03-31T22:15:00.000-04:002009-03-31T22:15:00.000-04:00I can handle arterial spray, as long as it isn't t...I can handle arterial spray, as long as it isn't the carotid artery. O.O<BR/><BR/>I once stopped at the scene of a motorcycle accident to help out. The victim was on his stomach on the road. As the police carefully rolled him over, a fountain of blood erupted from his leg. The guy had torn his femoral artery. I had the presence of mind to have the cop to take off his belt and use that as a tourniquet. Thankfully, the EMTs arrived like a minute later, so I was able to let the real professionals take care of him. They blasted out of there in about 3 minutes...<BR/><BR/>He ended up being admitted to the hospital where I was working, so I dropped in to say hi the next day. Amazingly, all he had was a fractured femur, a tib/fib fracture, a torn femoral artery and a bad case of road rash. No head injury. He did eventually regain almost full use of the leg but didn't give up his bike.<BR/><BR/>Hyphema would've had me breaking the sound barrier... :-)neurondochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12155027993661209263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914238121679939863.post-33317514384769620572009-03-31T22:03:00.000-04:002009-03-31T22:03:00.000-04:00Hehe.

By the time TPT is 10, you'll only be alarmed when you see arterial spray. <BR/><BR/>Or a Grade 4 hyphema - I might have exceeded the speed limit getting the SmartBoy to the ophthalmologist that day...Janiecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190655869710465713noreply@blogger.com
