And very tough. Though he did just let Brego sniff him. Usually he hisses if Brego is within feet of him.
However, he does occasionly allow Brego to lick his forhead, but if Spike realizes that I'm watching, then he'll smack Brego.

Clinton Decides Not To Seek Nomination
Gov. Bill Clinton announced today that he would not run for the 1988 Democratic Presidential nomination, ending weeks of speculation.
Gov. Bill Clinton announced today that he would not run for the 1988 Democratic Presidential nomination, ending weeks of speculation.
Mr. Clinton, 40 years old, said he would discuss his reasons at a news conference Wednesday in Little Rock. He declined further comment. His statement was issued through Bev Lindsey, an aide who had gone to work for Mr. Clinton this week. She had been a member of an advance team for Walter F. Mondale in the 1984 Presidential campaign.
Mr. Clinton had been thinking about entering the race for the nomination since a special session of the Arkansas Legislature ended on June 5. He was busy from January into April with a regular legislative session.
The Governor, who was elected to two-year terms in 1978, 1982 and 1984, has served six months of a four-year gubernatorial term, the first of that length in modern Arkansas history. He lost in 1980 to a Republican, Frank D. White. #34 Trips for Surveys Mr. Clinton had visited Iowa, the state with the first Democratic caucuses, New Hampshire, which has the first primary, and other states in 34 trips this year to survey the prospects for a Presidential campaign. Arkansas is one of the 14 states that will hold Presidential primaries on so-called Super Tuesday, March 8.

Evening, just stopped in for a minute. We sent to see Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. Interesting.
Anyways, saw the Durham thread, and just want to say one thing. Part of the reason Durham is in such deep shit, while other adjacent counties are not in as seriously dire straits, is that they fucking refused to implement water restrictions months ago. Orange County (where Chapel Hill/ Carrboro is) banned pretty much everything (including shutting down the local do it yourself car washes) AND raised its rates months ago, so our water usage dropped dramatically.
Duke was an especially bad offender. They were still watering athletic fields like a month ago. Students were starting to hold protests.

Hey, V!
Yes, in fact the cats have shown a remarkable reluctance to try charging out the door, as was their wont in Austin.
Meanwhile as the inventor of a "new psychology" is being hailed to-day the French poet M. Jules Romains, founder of the École Unanimiste and author of a singular little prose novel called La Mart d'un Quelqn'un—in English, The Death of a Nobody. The hero of this novel, a pensioned railroad engineer, who is a widower living by himself in Paris, dies in the first dozen pages. But as he has a soul, and this soul goes on residing somewhere, the author himself goes on analysing it wherever he happens to find it—in individuals and in groups and companies of individuals, who recreate the late M. Jacques Godard by thinking of him, or rather thinking him. The Death of a Nobody has been hailed as, more than any other book ever written, enforcing a conviction of human solidarity. et, no sooner had he died than he began to act upon people who had hardly known him, scarcely seen him, in life—his fellow-tenants, the families of his fellow-members in a mutual benefit society, and old friends and neighbours in a far-off mountain village, of whom he had lost sight since half a century. And yet, as the same critic points out, this insistence upon universal solidarity by no means diminishes the importance of personal forces, "since it prolongs, on the contrary, their influence in the social group."

There is a great fairy tale at wing nut daily about the pres election:
Once upon a time in the dark days of the great slaughter, there was a determined search for a king who would bring the slaughter to an end.
The wicked reigned in both houses of the shadowy Council, and black-robed tyrants ruled the land. The slaughter continued and the good people mourned. They fought and debated, dissented and deplored for three long dreary decades until their voices grew hoarse. They were disappointed and weary and a little bit leery, but their goal they saw clearly: to shield and not yield until all babies were protected from slaughter...
Three contenders stepped forth against the evil Queen of Slaughter: Prince Slay-'Em, the Sheriff of Floppingham and Friar Mike, in that order...
Then Sir Chuck of Norris rode forth pushing the earth down before him. Now the way would be paved! "I'll watch the border, just get things in order!"
He lowered his sword and knighted Friar Mike, "I give you Sir Mike-A-Lot who we all Like a lot! He's the only one we can trust to slay the Slaughter Dragon and the wicked Slaughter Queen. Now that he's lean, he's a fighting machine!"

Try some Redi-whip on the kid. Just don't follow directions and hold the can upside down. They use Nitrous as a propellant. Give 'em a couple of hits and see how they like it. But if they are going to drill, ask for novacaine.
I do think it's safe, but boy! am I ever not a doctor!
"It fucked me up for good as far as the dentist is concerned."
yup. i swear these bastards are sick.
It fucked me up for good as far as the dentist is concerned.
Yes. I once spent two hours in that chair, having three cavities filled without breaks and no novacaine. It took ten years with a great dentist to get over the phobia.
thanks, everyone. it looks like it's safe, but it troubles me, just the same.

Of course it's safe. It's a few nitrogen and oxygen molecules.
Whiskey, I'd go with novocaine. And don't let them use oracaine--it contains ephinephrine and it makes your heart race like crazy.
Hmm, I also had a childhood dentist who never gave any novacaine. I detect a trend here.

Same here. You know, thinking back, a well timed punt to the sack may have changed his patient pain management philosophy.
c'mon PITT!!!!
anyone have an opinion about laughing gas--specifically, should i let the dentist use it for my 7yo?
This is an odd answer, but it depends on the altitude your dentist's office is at. At sea level, nitrous can produce twilight sleep without also displacing enough oxygen to produce brain hypoxia.
At higher altitudes, and not that much higher than sea level the dentist will be giving you a hypoxic gas mixture to be able to alleviate much pain. The books I have that have the partial pressure tables I think are somewhere in deep storage in a box in the back of one of my sheds, so I can't clarify this much further. Ask the good Dr wombat (AKA Prof and law student), if you don't think I'm right. He'd probably be aware of this issue.
Novocaine, nitrous - why not both? And a blindfold.
-
My childhood dentist also used no novocaine. I think that was common practice in the 60s
Laughing gas (nitrous oxide) will sometimes give a kid a paradoxical response. There's no excuse, none at all, not to use lidocaine, though, which, if you numb the buccal mucosa through which you inject, hardly hurts at all even to administer if done well.
Geronimo Nietzsche.
anyone have an opinion about laughing gas
I loved whippets in college. And I had laughing gas before novacaine when I was getting some teeth out as a kid. Man, that was trippy.
Yes. I once spent two hours in that chair, having three cavities filled without breaks and no novacaine. It took ten years with a great dentist to get over the phobia.
Echidne
First they named me Ebenezer. Then they took me too a dentist who wouldn't give 'caine to kids. Boy, am I a mess!
In any case the variant of Novocain dentists now use seems to work better. I've always had teeth that hurt like hell when drilled or any other work is done, and my present dentist seems to be able to reduce the pain to almost nil except for the fsking shot they have to use to administer it.
It would have been nice when I was six and got drilled without anything.
Echidne
you too? Evil bastard did root canals w/o any deadening. Even drilled a couple of holes through my jawbone. Guess that's what good insurance bought you back then.
Laughing gas (nitrous oxide) will sometimes give a kid a paradoxical response.
It never worked for me. Just made me anxious and sweaty, but it's not dangerous. It just won't help at the dentist.
I had a lot of dental work done as a child with novacaine but no nitrous oxide. Now I have serious dental phobia and the dentist has to max out the gas and let me sit breathing it for 15 to 20 minutes before he can do anything - including a teeth cleaning. Otherwise I clench the chair and my back spasms.
If a pediatrician and dentist both think its safe, let your child have the gas. It may prevent a lot of anxiety now AND years later.

"i was about 12 when i got my first cavity, and my fucking sadist dentist told my mom he could fill it without novacain and that kids didn't feel very much pain. the LYING FUCKFACE COCKSUCKER!"
My dentist told me he'd stop if i raided my hand to tell him it hurt. I did - he didn't - and then the dumb shit put a finger within reach of my teeth.
You may guess the rest - he was not happy, neither was my mother, but next time my hand was raised asshole stopped drillin betcherass.

Can't do anything about the dental pain but you could now be called Chuck.
Doug: didn't know about that; not my line of work. I do know that pedi anaesthesia is a bit of an art form unto itself, that kids sometimes get paradoxical responses.
Don't ever let the doctors do a spinal tap.
"I loved whippets in college.
ah yes. good times - GOOD times
fyi: the novacaine does usually have epinephrine in it because it makes the pain killing effect last much longer. My elderly mother can only have novacaine without the epinephrine because the epi makes her heart race, but not everyone has that reaction. (It causes no problem for me or my brother or sister.)
Well, there you go. Step one of marrow registration done!
So, today wasn't a total waste.

WVa's unis make them look like sherbet popsicles.
i just have a funny feeling the gas would make it worse for her.
Novocaine doesn't really hurt me at all, and in any case, it's just a small jab. Is there some reason the dentist wants something more?
Whiskey girl - ask the dentist what percentage of children have bad reactions and what they involve. I am guessing it is a small percentage. Also ask how any reaction is handled.
I'm shocked to discover that dentists just weren't using anesthesia on kids when we were kids. That was dreadful.
Whazzup wid dat?
Did they really think children didn't feel pain?
Novocaine, nitrous, and that topical anesthetic they use to deaden the puncture site, lots of it and plenty of time to aoak in.

Gotta disagree. The docs want to do a spinal tap, it's usually for a damned good reason and you should bloody well let 'em. Ignorance about the stuff the spinal tap tells them can kill, quickly.

I've had to tell them to turn the nitrous down, whiskey. It can make me a little paranoid, but I'm a very anxious type.
Clint is a libertarian. Many of them are fed up with the GOP (who isn't?). He may still be a bastard to work for.
Eastwood's no-nonsense libertarian streak became newsworthy in 1986 when, bogged down by red tape when he wanted to expand his restaurant (Hog's Breath Inn) in Carmel, California, he announced that he was running for mayor. He won with a 72% landslide, and his two years as Mayor reduced the city's regulations, had sidewalks put in on city streets, and got a library annex built that city elders had been bickering about for decades. And then, in a move more politicians should emulate, he declined to run for a second term.
The Hog's Breath closed in 1999, but Eastwood still owns his movie company, a golf course, Tehama Clint sportswear, and Pale Rider Ale. Eastwood sponsors the Clint Eastwood Youth Program, providing drug, alcohol, and mental health treatment for kids in and around Carmel.

Sorry man, without a zip code I'm useless to you.
You have my permission to use 32174.
Some folk don't like the mask, the smell, the feeling of losing control. It's not for everybody.
If you were in So Az, I could give you a referal to my Dentist. My son drove me there one time when I was having a tooth extraction (which went well considering everything). He was talking to the folks sitting in the waiting room. He said people who'd lived here from before were flying in from all over the country to see this guy. He's gentle, and seems to have crafty arty hands (good technique) while working on your teeth. This is a good thing in a dentist.
for my decaying molar i went to my Gen. Practitioner and demanded Percocet.
she only gave me Tylenol 3, but hey, it's something, and at least i tried.
bitch.

I was going to use 90210, but... ecchh.
Novocaine doesn't really hurt me at all, and in any case, it's just a small jab. Is there some reason the dentist wants something more?
Now they also have techniques to make that jab pretty much nothing. I was astonished when I had gum surgery and there was no pain at all, even with the shots. Periodontist did this shaking thing on my lips that made them totally immune to the pain of even the needle...
"What were you doing with a tightwad boyfriend, Echidne? There's nothing I hate worse."
I was never a tightwad boyfriend. A poor excuse for one maybe...
NTodd -- is my full name going to get posted somewhere accessible to the scum of the earth?
Not necessarily a deal-breaker, just curious.
ProfWombat, first the bad news: I was feeling worse this morning and dragged myself to urgent care. I have pneumonia.
Now for the good news: I think brandy has healing properties.

Echidne
She had a little procedure yesterday--he applied a sealant to some teeth (the poor kid's got weak enamel). I think she just misread the scene: he's jokey as a way to help kids relax & so she was real chatty. He thinks she's jumpy and so needs something extra for a filling procedure. But I think she was just playing along yesterday and could handle things with just novocaine.
I guess because I've never had gas, I'm afraid of it. And because she had an unexplained seizure after a vaccination (just once, when she was one), I don't want to mess with her brain more than I have to.
On a lighter note, as mayor he repealed a municipal law that forbade anyone to eat ice cream on the sidewalk....
Although Eastwood has been registered as a Republican since 1951 and supported Richard Nixon's 1968 presidential campaign, he describes himself as a libertarian. He says his philosophy is "Everyone leaves everyone else alone".[15] He voted for Arnold Schwarzenegger as Governor of California in the 2003 recall election, and again in 2006.
Eastwood jokingly threatened to kill Michael Moore at the National Board of Review awards dinner in January 2005. Eastwood was quoted as saying "Michael Moore and I actually have a lot in common, we both appreciate living in a country where there's free expression... but, Michael, if you ever show up at my front door with a camera - I'll kill you." This was presumably in reference to Moore's controversial interview with Eastwood's friend Charlton Heston in the movie Bowling for Columbine.

Can't neglect your own welfare while looking after others.
Tylenol # 3 doesn't work much better than over the counter meds like ibuprofen and naproxen. Percocet is a significantly better pain med, but has the highest addiction/abuse potential of all of 'em save OxyContin. My experience was that if you prescribed Percocet for someone in pain, of a limited duration, while fixing the painful problem, you never run into abuse issues. But if you use it for chronic pain, say, for someone with a bad back, it can be tough.

Well, that's an American thing. Finns always go Dutch in any case.
Now they also have techniques
I still feel it. Ouwwwweeee!
I still don't want nitrous, cause we are at about 3 to 4 thousand feet above sea level. With the injection local anthesia I haven't felt any pain beyond that point. Well other than one twinge when a wisdom tooth that was crappy on top but had healthy roots, had it's nerve snapped during the removal.

Now that's just drug abuse, plain and simple.
"Romanian director Cristian Mungiu's "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days" won the best film prize Saturday at the 20th annual European Film Awards in Berlin.
The low-budget production, a harrowing film about illegal abortion in communist-era Romania, had already taken the top award earlier this year at the Cannes Film Festival.

The only time I've ever had surgery (on my ankle), this past August, I didn't know that you're not supposed to ingest anything, absolutely nothing, before hand. I just took a few sips of water just before I got out of the car in the hospital parking garage because I was parched. When I told the anesthesiologist he just about slugged me. The guy was not big on bedside manner.

The basketball refs are worse down there.
I knew a guy who was an anesthesiologist -- had a very calming peaceful presence and the sweetest smile you ever saw. He said he made a point of cultivating that for his patients (and here I quote) in case his is the last face they ever see.
Very thoughtful of him, I thought.
The refs were crooked.
WVU was honest. They stunk.
Smoking is also a major complication for surgery.
Yeah, they are horse pills, but my docs despite the fact that I'm doing so well think I should keep those handy just in case, to tide me over.
Never really took them pre-op and only took them for post op pain. I still keep a script filled.
It does crack me up when changing jobs in AZ that most the time (I haven't yet for this job) I get a pee test. I like telling the piss boys and girls working at those places (yes I do call them piss boy to their face) that I don't know why the hell they are testing me, I can legally use narcotics if I want.
(However I won't unless the pain demons start to torment me. They haven't yet)
It's white bread that's dangerous to me. Why don't they test for that?

I love the Bucks, and maybe it's better this way than a wire-to-wire #1 or some way other than backing in. Stupid, lazy pissants taking it all for granted.
It's against anaesthesiologists' sacred creed to deal with any oral intake whatever; they fear aspiration pneumonia on induction, which can be nasty, even deadly. And they generally don't perfect much of a bedside manner. Their interviews with awake patients are formulaic fact gathering for the most part, and, of course, they do most of their work on sedated or asleep people.
Oh, that. They're cool. Bitches can keep a secret. And eclairs.

ProfWombat | 12.01.07 - 11:17 pm | #
The last anesthesiologist that I dealt with (tonsils) was pretty much an asshole.
He and my surgeon argued about which anesthesia to use on me (my surgeon was afraid I'd have a reaction)- my surgeon lost the fight.
Oh well, I lived, which is all you can ask for (though my surgeon was right- I did have the chills and shaking thing coming out of surgery, which was excruciating since I was in a lot of pain and was trying to stay still).
nitrous: The assistant puts the mask on and then goes out of the room. I'd lay there in the chair and gradually my feet would go away and the disembodied sensation continues up to about the chin... 'focus' was a word I'd heard of, but somehow no longer seemed relevant.
Then the dentist and the assistant come in and go to work and the spell is broken.
No pain exactly but a sense of discomfort, and by the time the job is done the feet are once again connected to the brain... and it's time to get out of that place before they do something I really wouldn't like.
"Honestly, I find it profoundly boring."
I'm with you.
I don't know why the hell they are testing me, I can legally use narcotics if I want.
They are looking for the substances you cannot legally use. I used to do that at a local homeless shelter when I volunteered there summers. Read and record the pee tests, among other things.
I just got my ass kicked in a game of Rummy 500.
Now, Zapette's playing a game of solitare. I should be profoundly disturbed.
Anyhoo, the most important thing is that the anesthesiologist sit with you in surgery and make sure you don't croak or become brain dead.

If there are any med drs here and I'm wrong, please correct me. My understanding is that the anesthesiologist is responsible for post-surgery pain mgt in the recovery room. Before my last surgery several years ago I got the best anesthesiologist I've ever had (I had had 2 previous surgeries). BEFORE surgery he told me that if I had any pain in recovery I should let the nurse know as he'd have something authorized for the nurse to give me if needed. I asked for it and received it in my i.v., whatever the heck it was. The pain wasn't bad but I knew it would be a while before my friend got my pain pill script filled and got me home to bed and I didn't want the pain to hit me hard before I could get started on the pills.I've learned the hard way you have to stay AHEAD of the pain, and not wait till its bad before taking your meds. If you do that you can end up hurting a lot and unnecessarily.

Nic - get a new dentist - a responsible dentist never leaves a patient on nitrous unattended. i guess if the dr had a pulse ox on you or some other monitoring system with an alarm it would be okay but a responsible dentist always has someone sit and observe you while the nitrous takes effect.

"Ya, I like college ball too.

Joy to the people who like college ball. I just see no reason to care about any of it.
I'm turning 32 in two weeks, and I feel like crap. Ugh.
Zap Rowsdower
Goddamn 32 is young. I wanna be 32 again. Bush I was teh president when I was 32.
My goal (and timestamp this):
I will be a non-smoker at EschaCon.
Hold me to it, folks. And I will do what I can on my end.
Thank god we don't have socialized medicine, because then the quality of care would be BAD!
Oh, I got great care- no doubt about that. The anesthesiologist was obsessively conscientious.
He just didn't much of a bedside manner.
For the record, I didn't give a good goddamn. My surgeon was one of the best in the city, and the anesthesiologist was the one he insisted on.I felt completely safe. And I was.

Post-operative Pain
Introduction; rationale for post-operative pain relief
Recent years have witnessed with increasing interest in postoperative pain management. It wasn't always so! As a result an increasing number of patients have become more medically sophisticated and more likely to request specific modes of treatment.
The International Association for the Study of Pain and their journal "Pain" are the main international group with an interest in pain management. Their web site includes many useful clinical update sheets and technical information sheets. In 1993 they released "Pain Control - the new Hows and Whys" - explaining the logic behind attempting to manage pain better.
The US AHCRQ (Agency for Health Care Research) clinical guidelines include something vague and out of date on postoperative pain.
Most professional anaesthesia organisations have policy statements or guidelines on pain management. Some links include the US ASA Practice Guidelines for Perioperative Pain management, ANZCA Guidelines on Acute Pain Management, Acute Pain Management, Scientific Evidence, ASPAN's position statement on pain management and the 2003 clinical guideline for pain management (from the perioperative nursing perspective).
The American Pain Society has closed their education section, but the American Pain Foundation provides a number of information sheets, mostly from a chronic pain perspective, in their library...

If only those Tastee Freez walls could talk...
Walking is a very easy way to start exercising. You can do it most places and if you want to ramp up the difficulty level, walking on more difficult terrain, works pretty well assuming you have foot gear apropos to you and where you are walking. If you've got river valleys or mountains nearby, taking some walks up and down them can allow you to get some fairly extreme exercise.
I am thinking of signing up for a weight training class. I'll have to ask the coach/trainer, if he'd be alright with me missing classes if I'm overtiming a lot. With a 60 or 70 hour work week sleep takes precidence.
My goal (and timestamp this):
I will be a non-smoker at EschaCon.
Hold me to it, folks. And I will do what I can on my end.
Oh goody.

"the most important thing is that the anesthesiologist sit with you in surgery and make sure you don't croak or become brain dead."
hahaha...that's the *nurse* anesthesiologist that's sitting at the end of the table.
the anesthesiologist is running between 4 surgery suites to help bring people out, and in teh meantime is sitting in the corner reading a GQ magazine and checking in with his Jaguar dealer.
Nope. He was there when I went out and there when I woke up.
Same thing when I got my deviated septum fixed (different hospital).
Surgery is no joke. I know a woman who went into the hospital for routine plastic surgery and never came out.
As far as I know, she's still in a home, brain dead.
When/where is the next EschaCon by the way?

Dearheart,
Though I'm a young'n, I've been smoking for (counts on my fingers) sixteen fucking years?
Gawd, that's messed up...half my life.
"Nope. He was there when I went out and there when I woke up."
yup. but in between he wasn't sitting at the head of your OR table. he was checking in with his broker..
TEBB: I telescoped that a bit in the telling... they were careful about that. But the stuff did screw with my sense of time.
Go to a different dentist now anyway, and he just sticks with the novocain.
Surgery is no joke.
I recently read an article on MSNBC.com that for the third fucking time in one year, neurosurgeons at a Rhode Island hospital cut on the wrong fucking side of the patient's brain.
3 different brain surgeons.

I've been lucky. Very little serious illness in my life, and both of my surgeons have been top notch.

Hubby is right. In the recovery room I really wanted to die.
They gave me a huge shot of morphine and it barely took the edge off.
It was worth it though.
"Not with my surgeon."
that's good.
Zap, V, if a local hospital or someplace nearby has a 6 or 8 week quit smoking course, you might check into it. That's how I quit, after 18 years of at least a pack a day. Having plenty of information & a small group all in the same boat around helped a lot.
It was an interesting experience, quitting smoking. Nicotine does have an effect on brain chemistry, and it doesn't want to leave. And there's some entertaining FX as your body gets adjusted to life without the nicotine -- I recall one day when I had endless endless energy (not like me, believe me) and the attention span of a flea (also not like me). It was fun -- I figured now I knew what it was like to be an Irish setter puppy.
You can do it!
Sheets!
Only come up if U haz eclairs.

poor baby.
which is to say, it's all down hill from here.
but, as has already been addressed, quit smoking (good luck), eat right, and drink in moderation.
i've got the eating right part down. age, is still gonna a kick your ass.
Speaking of tonsils, there was an interesting theoretical paper out recently about how the function of the appendix may be as a reservior to help repopulate the gut bacterial flora after massive disruptions from cholera, dysentery, and similar diseases. One of the researchers interviewed in the CNN.com story on the work said he thought the tonsils might function similarly for the oral bacterial community.
"Not with my surgeon."
that's good.
My surgeon was a pretty big wheel. And a supremely nice guy. I don't think many people fucked with him. But he did defer to the anesthesiologist on the drugs, because obviously it was his call.

Oppy was a toad.
neurosurgeons at a Rhode Island hospital cut on the wrong fucking side of the patient's brain.
What's the name of the hospital?
I want to add it to the list of incompetent facilities. There's one, Dade County, that has a 'fine' rep because they were known for cutting off the wrong leg, the wrong breast, the wrong testicle. They even had a patient catch on fire on the OR table. (causes; auto accident, gasoline on the clothes, spark, oxygen, from the anesthesia mask, soaked clothes not removed due to the patient having massive trauma, and the surgeons wanting to work on the patient right away)
Though I'm a young'n, I've been smoking for (counts on my fingers) sixteen fucking years?
Gawd, that's messed up...half my life.
Check it -- if you don't quit now, when you're my age it'll have been more than 2/3.
If I could change one thing about my life, that would be it. And it does NOT get any easier.
Get it over with and you can feel superior to your peers who are as lame and weak as I when you get there
Today the people of Venezuela face a constitutional referendum [which most of them want to "face"], which, if passed, could obliterate the few remaining vestiges of Venezuelan [feudalism]. The world is saying little [other than that Chavez eats babies] and doing less [other than, you know, that little attempt to overthrow the government] as President Hugo Chávez dismantles [parts of] Venezuela's constitution, [partially counteracts its plutocratic and treasonous] media and confiscates [stolen] private property [for the good of the people and national development].
Anaesthesiologists share pain management responsibility with surgeons; both typically order meds in the recovery room.
It's utterly clear that you have to anticipate pain and prevent it, rather than treat it when it happens, playing catch-up ball, in manabing postoperative pain. So it's quite common for an anaesthesiologist to give something just before, or as, the patient's waking up, assuming blood pressure and like that are OK.
Depends on the hospital how, or even if, they use nurse anaesthetists. My experience with the breed has been wonderful; they're some of the best-trained folk around. They usually, but not always, run the case except for induction and emergence, and, of course, if there's a problem, in which case the anaesthesiologist (MD) attends.
One of the researchers interviewed in the CNN.com story on the work said he thought the tonsils might function similarly for the oral bacterial community.
Oh, I think they've thought that for a while.
The problem is when they get so infected that no amount of antibiotic can clear them up.
Then they start making you sick. All the time.
The demonization of Chavez is proof that racism is alive and well.
The best exercises are the old fashioned jack lalane bodyweight exercises. Push ups, squats or what the old folks call deep knee bends, lunges, sit ups, pull ups, dips. You don't need any fancy machines and you don't need to work the muscles to failure to transform your body.
Zap,
To throw my two cents into the improve your life fest, swimming is an exercise that will really tell you that you want to keep your lungs clean.
Explain this to me again son. You say your job at the Secretary of State's office was Rice Planter?
The last thing I remember is "Hi, I'm Dr. Sandman; ha ha."

One of the things the MCM* and US politicians are up in arms about is that Chavez wants to remove term limits on the presidency. Like no ReThugs ever suggested that for St. Ronnie!
And we've only had presidential term limits in the Constitution since FDR.
Plus, Chavez wants to increase the number of signatures required for a recall election of the president (which can be done halfway through the term) to be increased from the present 20% of previous voters (iirc). Awfully small number to be able to require a recall!
Anyway, we here have no such tool to use with totally sucking presidents or even Worst President Ever. Or for senators and representatives.
Wow--can you imagine how fast BushBoy woulda been gone if we'd been able to get a recall election with only 20% of voters or even registered voters? DFHs alone could have done it. Woohoo!
But, alas, no such power for we the people. We can only ask our reps to impeach the bugger. Beg them....
