"Ortho RICE" -- from an emergency department nurse practitioner
Subject: "Ortho RICE" -- from an emergency department nurse practitioner
very annoying young woman who says in her "Plan": ortho RICE ... I've googled but I can't find this as an "entity" -- I know was RICE is -- but usually she has not mentioned any form of "compression", so in my irritation I've just been leaving it at RICE ... would you spell it out or leave abbreviated? Ditto BRAT diet which can be banana, rice, apple sauce/apple juice + tea/toast so I leave it at BRAT.

experience is, it lacks credibility especiall when you base it on YOUR experience. Who are you? How much experience do you actually have? What kind of experience do you have? How many diabetic patients have you encountered in your years of experience?
You can't expect to make a sweeping generalization like "all diabetics have hypertension" and not get called out on it. Come on! Know your place. Arrogance is an unattactive personality trait.

there must be two openings in the nasal cavity. Ostium means opening. Meatus means opening also. So if it is as you say, then ostium (opening) meatal (opening) complex is what you are referring to. Plus that, there is no such word as ostio.
I was referring to the osteum (bone) and meatus (opening) or the osteomeatal complex of the nose.
