given the known mental status changes after cardiac arrest, this patient may have found a poetic kernel of truth.
I'm sure those tele nurses anticipated all his needs and he didn't even miss the absence of a call light :)

I'd hate to be the nurse working on that floor!
lol, nice name you gave him, "stemi". love it.
Nice post title. :)
We called it the "cardiac craft unit".
Where you can always be sure to find someone doing needlepoint at the nursing station.
:-)
(It's ok, they called us the FERNs...the 'ERN' stands for ER nurses and you can figure out what the F stands for.)
Despite the docs saying that I'd have some memory issues after cardiac arrest and subsequent long term life support I haven't noticed any at all, isn't it?
This post must be beheld in its entirety to appreciate its pun-y wonderfulness.
LOL!
Mr. STEMI, indeed!
Yeah, all these STEMI patients keep us from our crafts. Whatever. However, my patients do think I'm telepathic - even those I'm not.
Thanks for the laugh!
giggle...I heart the names you give to your patients!
I know you Neurologists are smart cookies but them's some impressive skillz.
