And then clinic or specialty is

Posted By: anon on 2007-01-17

usually doctor offices, such as a cardiologist, pulmonologist, etc., etc.  Acute care and Basic 4 are the same thing.  OP notes means operative notes, discharge summaries (when the patient goes home) and tells of the hospital course during the patient's stay, H&P means history and physical (when the patient comes in as an inpatient), there is usually an H&P dictated and this is most likely by specialty depending upon the patient's problems and will include the patient's symptoms, past medical history, etc.  ER means emergency room (pretty much self-explanatory).  SOAP is subjective, objective, asssessment, and plan.  Hope this helps.

try specialty dating websites
I met my husband 4 years ago through an online dating site that catered to people of our religion. I think these specialty dating sites where you already have something in common have a higher success rate. You can find sites for pet lovers or cowboys... lots of different ones out there.
If you have a specialty sewing store
near you, you might want to call them and ask for their suggestions. They might be able to help or at least point you in the right direction.
Am going to the pain clinic soon
and if as good as above, may even ask for it by name. I have fibro (as posted on autoimmune board) and really suffer with pain, pain as am typing now, never goes away, sometimes hurting, sometimes unbearable. Have some Tramadol but that is a little sedating although can work with it, nothing else. Will probably try to get there next week.
Does anyone go to pain clinic
for really severe, ongoing pain and if so what kind of treatments have you had, did you find something that helped and did not zonk you out so you could continue to work? I am in the process of having records faxed to pain clinic, tired of the uncontrolled pain. Thanks
I have one. Worked for a vet clinic. I know.
It is still cruel. Even the vets I worked for were disgusted by the practice.


Having worked in vet clinic, I would do it. It is not

surgically removing the first digit of the toes.  To spay, uterus is surgically removed and no one thinks that is cruel. Aside from immediate postop discomfort, which you have with ANY surgery, they didnt seem in pain to me when we declawed a cat at the clinic. It seemed to me that it felt different to the cats, and just took some getting used to.  I cant beleive a vet would say that to you.  Do you think a cat would rather be declawed or thrown outside when is used to being house cat, taken to the pound, dumped in the country or given to someone who might not be so nice


you are not a pain....you need to go to walk-in clinic

See if there is a free clinic in your area or -sm
one that charges at a discounted fee based on your income. I did that for years though I had insurance through my parents, but did not want them to know I was on the pill. I just had to tell them how much money I made a month and they would give me a years supply of pills at a very discounted price. Basically went there for about 5 or 6 years until I got my own insurance after college. Saved me tons of money and it was a nice clinic associated with the local hospital. Even if you have to drive an hour to get to one it would be worth your while.
Go right now to the nearest urgent care clinic or ER
Tell them what has happened and that you are ceasing to function. Get some help for yourself. Do not wait another minute. Come back and let us know how you are doing! Take good care.
For many years when worked in animal clinic, after
never a problem.  Using a special litter after surgery is a relatively new idea. They have litters very similar in texture to regular litters for after declaws but where I worked, we told owners if kitty wont use box with special litter, to just use the regular litter and again, never had a problem with it. 
I'm a volunteer nurse at the free clinic
I do medical transcription for money and nursing for free. I've been a nurse since 2001, and I sometimes miss people! Unfortunately, since I've upped my hours at work, I haven't been able to volunteer for the last couple of months.

Doing the free clinic is not like actual nursing work in that there's no backstabbing and pettiness, just appreciation. It's scary, though, knowing what medical problems people have been having for days and have to wait for the free clinic day because they couldn't afford the doctor's office (or the hospital). However, the doctors who do volunteer have the free clinic patients come to their real clinic for free if they have an issue that can't be addressed at the church where the free clinic is located, like drainage of a cyst or something.

Anyway, I wish I had more time for it. *sigh*
Transcription dept. supervisor at a medical clinic.

I just took a college tour with my daughter and they mentioned a dental clinic sm
with students that are studying to be dentists. I think universities with dental schools have dental clinics that are open to the public. I'm not sure what they charge, but it might be something to look into.
