Thanks for your response Cordelia! I really appreciate it.

Humble JoeUser technical request: RSS feeds in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I understand that with everything going on at Stardock right now, this little old site simply can't be high priority. But I just thought I would toss this out there as it ends up affecting some of your commercial software (which some of us have probably purchased). The RSS feeds here at JU are way behind. We are talking almost a month and a half behind. So in the end, this makes using BlogNavigator Pro useless in terms of actually reading anything here. It is a

Some days you let 'em get away with it, some days you don't. I think being able to roll with the punches is one of the most valuable lessons I am learning. Then balancing it out with when to push back, it is an interesting tight-rope. <T

you know life would be a blast if it weren't for the people sometimes....ya know? They are the boon and bane of life. I went into medicine because of the people. And it is because of the people that some days I regret going into medicine. Good thing the positive outweighs the negative.

An interesting companion piece to the "Capitulation" article. Thanks bro. It sort of struck me that way as well. On the one hand we had a patient who we had to just let her dictate what was going to happen (to a certain degree), and on the other we had to get a little nasty. Life is full of these sorts of dichotomies. <P

Coercion in Misc JoeUser Forums

Stand your ground, don't back down. Sometimes you have no choice. Sure, you have to pick your fights, or you will just burn out. But sometimes you have to fight. You have to push, pull, coerce and convince. Sometimes it just ain't right that the patient stays another day. Case in point: a patient we admitted just the other day. She was a trauma. Accident on the slopes. No major injuries, just some bumps and bruises. But the head CT sh

I don't know off the top of my head (and since I am responding from JoeUser, I'm not going to go look right now), but it as a LOT more than you guys. Honestly, it is the reason I feel compelled to continue to renew my OD subscription and WC subscription. I have downloaded way too much to feel good about not supporting things a bit.

You've done the right thing, Doctor. Unfortunately, in these days of HMO's, it's not likely to win you any friends upstairs in the accounting department. And if she truly is malingering without reason, she's in for a rude awakening herself when she gets the bills her insurance has refused to pay. In this case, I think it was the best thing to

Reply to My Oscar Picks in Misc JoeUser Forums

You know, it is sort of sad, but not only have I not seen a single one of these movies, I haven't even heard of half of them! I guess I will be uninterested in this year's Oscars. Quite like just about every year. I suppose that is what happens when you are uncultured like I am.

Capitulation in Misc JoeUser Forums

Rolling over and playing dead. It is a survival mechanism that has been around for centuries. Convince the predator you are dead, no longer a threat, and there is a chance they will leave you alone. It ain't survival of the fittest. It's survival of the limpest. It's no different in medicine. With some patients, all you can do is play dead. Case in point: a patient I had this week. She had a pretty minor surgery. It was

Sweet! Great to see someone else who uses it. I started using it way back in the day it was Audioscrobbler. Haven't used it for a while because one of the plugins for foobar2000 was buggy (at least on my system). But the current version works like a charm, and the last.fm software is actually really nice. I love how it allows you to tag songs, get a bio and some information on the artists, etc.

There are a percentage of these types in nursing, believe it or not. Oh, I believe it! Dude, nice job putting her back in her place. Kick ass and take names. You rock bro.

Chew away. Gotta love the grind. Every day the same thing, over and over. Just don't eat too many. They are hard to reattach.

A musical extravaganza: Come and be heard! in Internet JoeUser Forums

Years ago I wrote a blog about Audioscrobbler. It went so completely unnoticed that I am not even going to bother digging it up. But, with all the advancements in the idea and the site, I just had to come and share again. Plus, perhaps some of you will sign up and add me as a friend. I only have one so far. To make things nice and easy, Last.fm is a website that allows you to share your musical tastes with the world. You, the user, create an account, down

Actually Bluedev, PC players have been getting ignored quite a bit lately! That is very likely, and something I wouldn't know much about. I used to be a 100% PC gamer, but then got tired of the hardware upgrade cycle and the constant need to track down the latest patch, tweak ini files, etc. So I stepped away from gaming all togeth

Reply to Unreal Tournament 2007 becomes UT3 in Gaming JoeUser Forums

Really when compared to their PC counterparts console shooters just have a watered down feeling to them. Hmm, I don't know about that. I have played shooters on both consoles and PC and the only difference I see is the controls. But, to each their own. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-
