I dated an RN many years ago. One time she asked me if I knew how to tell who is the head nurse. Of course, I had no idea. She said, "The one with the dirty knees."
Different pain relief for different folks. Sometimes that combination, especially if there's a little oil of wintergreen involved, causes an explosive, sharp pain (in the head) for migraineurs.
Cracked me up! Good to see you're still posting, Dr. Grumpy. I don't recall unsubscribing to your blog, but I must have, as I've not been getting notifications for it in a long time. I kept meaning to look it up, and finally did so. I don't use that email address as frequently as I used to, though, and kept forgetting. Anyway ... HI! :)
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

Where does he put the diclofenac?
Head distracts the mind from the pain and probably creates endorphins. Perhaps that therapy is the origin of the term "head nurse".

Boy, those hospitals are really serious about improving their patient evaluations.
Oh,wow, I must have missed that it was double entendre day. That really sucks.
But doesn't that make it difficult to walk?
Is that covered by insurance?
Does it have to be brand-name, or is generic okay?
