A few weeks ago, we had to arrange for a dog to be decapitated and his head to be sent in to the state lab.At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

Good hell, I had a horrible cold last week and I'm still dealing with the aftermath. I feel like there's a big air bubble behind my right eardrum (yeah, I know someone could tell a pretty good joke off that statement). I would be willing to pay a couple hundred dollars for my eustachian tube to just clear the eff out (I'm assuming it's a clogged tube).Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

About 6 weeks ago I had a patient with a bite. She saw me 12 hours after the bite and had streaks upbher arm, fever, tachycardia. I smashed her with fluids and abx. She developed septic shock and multi organ failure. She grew pasturela in her blood, which is what I expected, so she survived without major morbidity, barely.
So if you develop red streaks, beware.

Originally posted by ERCougar View PostIt kills healthy tissue. There are millions of bacteria on every wound and you can't possibly kill all of these. Your best defense against bacteria is well-perfused healthy tissue. Yes, the hydrogen peroxide will kill a lot of bacteria but it also lays waste to ALL of your superficial cells--your best defense and barrier against infection. It also creates all kinds of free radicals (it's an oxidizer)--we don't really know how important these are or what role they play, but if you ever pay attention to your antioxidant intake, you're demonstrating your belief that they're bad.Awesomeness now has a name.

You're like the Soonercoug of the medical community.

As a side note, I had a patient swear that drinking a teaspoon of Hydrogen of Peroxide daily was the secret to a long and healthy life."You interns are like swallows. You shit all over my patients for six weeks and then fly off."
