Unlock the Code to a Better CDI Program
More than 20% of Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) programs will be growing within the next 12 months. CDI is a hot topic thanks to healthcare systems expanding into out-patient and ambulatory CDI or increasing their in-patient CDI staff based on the necessity for improved physician and provider documentation.
It's likely your hospital's internal teams are experiencing the strain from recent electronic medical record (EHR) implementations and more demanding reimbursement models. This leaves little or no time to evaluate and improve your clinical documentation processes. So how can you unlock the potential of an elevated CDI program without readily available internal resources?
Start With An Audit from the Experts
An audit conducted by a experienced third-party partner helps identify major pain points and types of coding errors across all departments. The result is a strategy to address the inefficiencies found. When selecting a CDI partner to improve your processes, ask about their capabilities after the audit. What is the plan to educate your physicians, staff, and management on how to identify routine coding missteps, communicate coding trending, and offer ongoing insights into coding best practices?
Activate Experienced CDI Specialists
By contracting with a partner offering experienced, senior-level CDI specialists, your healthcare system can manage the day-to-day operational challenges while your CDI specialists work on improving the system.
Your contract CDI specialists can help with program management, staff augmentation, and training that is entirely focused on program creation, implementation, and optimization. Leveraging their deep knowledge of ICD-10 coding guidelines, your contract CDI specialists will work with your physicians and clinical staff to ensure the level of services and acuity is accurately reflected in the medical record and assist them during the query process.
HCTec has on-demand CDI specialists with a minimum of three years of recent and relevant experience and backgrounds in nursing or coding, process improvement, and utilization review/case management at an acute care facility. If you are looking for the keys to elevate your CDI program, let's partner to find the best solution for your needs.

Lately I have been reading more and more blogs where the blogger apologizes for taking time away, being away with family for a weekend and not making it around to let their readers know whats going on, missing their weekly H54F posts! I use to do that a lot and on occasion still will just to let you all know that I haven't forgotten about you, or that while I am away I don't take for granted that you take time out of your lives to sit down and follow along in my neck of the woods. Your readership means the world to me, that you think what I have to say matters, that you take the time to comment and let me know your thoughts, there are no words for my appreciation. But sometimes you just need some quiet time, time to deal with things going on in your own world and there is definitely no need to apologize for that.
I started this blog so that I didn't have to write 50 of the same emails every week updating friends and family on where we were and what we were doing. On one of our major road trips I started emailing a group nightly to update them and it snow balled from there.. having said that this place has become something totally different for me at times. Don't get me wrong as much as I absolutely LOVE new followers and the blog world in general I don't by any means think I will make money off this thing, I don't care to make it a job. I really love to write and this is a place I get to do it, and sometimes its an outlet which is much needed.
This weekend I wanted to get here. We got the laptop back with a brand new mother board the other night (still on warranty - SCORE) and then it wasn't working when we got it home. Jason took it back the next day and they thankfully straightened out a few things in the store and he was able to bring it right back home. While it was gone I wanted to blog about new products I'm using that I love, I wanted to rant about things and couldn't and then it was sitting here and I just couldn't bring myself to get on here and write about products when I by no means felt like things were hunky dory in life!
If you know me at all you know that I am a person that pretty much tells it like it is and hopes for the same in return, or in a way I guess I use to be. I really thought about getting on here this weekend and just venting, saying what I was thinking about.. getting it out there and I didn't. I didn't use one of MY favorite outlets on account that someone might read it and be upset. I hate that. I hate that sometimes expressing yourself opens up the flood gates to people having an issue with your opinion. I was raised that honesty is always the best policy.. but is it? If someone pisses you off and you feel your reason is valid do you say something or keep the peace and let it go? And if you always choose to let it go does it turn future issues into something bigger then they are because you are still holding onto the past ones? I'm not saying something because its the holidays.. I'm not saying something because its better not too.. I'm not saying anything and that's pissing me off more! I am a dweller dammit and the more I don't say something about something that is bothering me the more I want to fly off the handle about it. Don't get me wrong I actually wouldn't say that I have a bad temper by any means I am actually a wicked bawl ass! I've ranted to Jason like its my job all weekend and he has graciously listened and at times laughed.. but at least I could talk about it.
So in the spirit of the holidays, or whatever I will say this. Sometimes people need to think with their head and not their heart, sometimes people just need to think period!! You can't expect people to help you if you aren't willing to do anything to help yourself. Often the hard decision is the best decision and when you least want to hear other peoples opinions that's when you probably need to hear it most! Sometimes you cant see what is when you are sitting on the inside, so let the people on the outside give some advice. Often if you are willing to listen, or have confided in this person in the first place you should know that they only have your best interest at heart.
Don't be a door mat, people will always take advantage of that. Take a step back sometimes and look at the big picture, your big picture and if your present situation and actions are going to get you to your future goals. Don't let someone else turn you into someone you don't want to be, no one is worth changing who you are. Take some time for you, having the option of focusing solely on yourself is a luxury, don't let it pass by without giving it the attention it deserves.. you deserve. Being alone isn't always the worst thing, sometimes its the best.
Tragedy happens, life is hard and although its not always easy you have to take the good with the bad. I will analyze every situation up and down and in the end I usually take a lesson from it, try not to dwell, look for what you are meant to take away from what you are facing and try to make it a positive. I tell myself this everyday. Embrace being a kid, but always be responsible... this is a life skill that is always helpful. Take initiative when you can and when its not necessary sit on the couch with a beverage of your choice and enjoy the little things because sometimes the big things just don't allow for that, take advantage of it while you can.
Life will never be simple, it will ALWAYS be full of hard decisions, have the guts to make the right one. Move on when its necessary, put in hard work when its worth it and be smart enough to know the difference. Your actions have consequences, even if you don't see them at the time. Often your actions affect other people, be the person you wish to see in this world! Life is too short to be unhappy. Treat people how you want to be treated.
Ok. I'm done. Sometimes a girl just needs to rant a little. I am by no means an expert on life, nor do I claim to be.. sometimes I just feel like things need to be said.
On another note in speaking of not being honest and consequences of your actions. I really want to get rid of Facebook. Truthfully I think Facebook is the devil and most of what is on there is CRAP anyways! But we move around all the time and meet people and then leave! We don't always travel with the same group of people and neither of us live in the place we are from.. therefore getting rid of Facebook means forfeiting keeping up to date on all the people we love, and then we go back to sending 50 emails a day and lets be honest we may get 10 responses (don't get me started on friends and bad communication). I don't want to miss out on pictures and updates but I often go back and forth about deactivating my account and just occasionally signing on quietly to check things out.
Honestly if I could delete half of my 'friends' (with zero consequences) I would happily keep Facebook but as much as it is my account you have obligatory friends that you just really don't have a choice about keeping. Oh being an adult is crap sometimes. You only think that when you get older you can do whatever the hell you want... that is a lie. Do you know social media is responsible for such a large amount of divorces (that has nothing to do with why I hate it, Jason and I have no issues in regards to trust and social media) what a pathetic statistic!
Anyways I am off to deal with the house people again.. a week before Christmas and shit still isn't done! To be expected I suppose! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR... DON'T BUY A KB HOME!!! Seriously.. if you take anything away from this blog ever, know that I would never lie to you and you should absolutely NEVER EVER BUY A KB HOME!!!
Alright I'm off to unload parcels that just came for Christmas, SUPER EXCITING! Also a huge THANK YOU to Miss Cathy, Jason and I are so grateful for your house warming gift, I think you are an amazing photographer and I couldn't be more proud to hand your work in our new home! Thank you so much for always thinking of us, we are so grateful!
Have a wonderful day all! Just over a week until Christmas!!

Former Clemson Tigers QB Kelly Bryant announced on Tuesday that he intends to transfer to Missouri to play his final year of eligibility.
In 2017, Bryant took over QB at Clemson after Deshaun Watson got drafted by the Houston Texans. Bryant guided the Tigers to an ACC Championship Victory before losing in the College Football Playoff semifinals to eventual champion Alabama. He threw for 2,802 yards and 13 Touchdowns to 8 interceptions and was one of 11 finalists for the Manning award and a semifinalist for the Davey O'Brien award. Bryant also ran for 843 yards and 14 touchdowns. This season he was replaced by true freshman Trevor Lawerence, the #1 recruit in the country according to 247 sports, after having a mediocre start to the year. He threw for 461 yards and 2 touchdowns to three interceptions, while running for 130 yards with 2 touchdowns.
Other schools Bryant was interested in was Arkansas, Auburn, North Carolina, and Mississippi State. His first projected start will be against Wyoming before going to a potential Top 25 showdown against Jack. Allison and the West Virginia Mountaineers.

Teaching ideas based on New York Times content.
Overview | What is the fiscal cliff? What will happen if we "go over" it? In this lesson, students explore some basic quantitative consequences of falling off the fiscal cliff by looking at the effects that changing income tax rates and payroll tax rates will have for individual taxpayers and the federal government.
Materials | Computers with Internet access, chart paper and calculators
Warm-Up | Have students examine the New York Times interactive "Your Coming Tax Cut (or Not)" (also available as a printable PDF), which represents the impact of the "Bush tax cuts" of 2001 and 2003. Explain to students that these tax cuts lowered the rate at which individual income was taxed by the federal government and have students analyze and discuss the interactive, exploring questions like "How much does an average person save per year because of these cuts?" and "Who benefits most?"
Tell the students that these tax cuts were extended by President Obama but are scheduled to expire at the end of the year; their expiration is part of the "fiscal cliff" the United States is approaching. Ask students to write down their thoughts on what might happen when these tax cuts expire:
- How will individuals be affected?
- How might the larger economy be affected?
- Will the government benefit or suffer?
Note: While this lesson is geared toward helping students understand the mathematics behind the fiscal cliff, exploring the politics behind the cliff can help frame what is happening and why. The interactive "Staking Out Positions in the Fiscal Talks" provides a brief overview of the major players in the fiscal negotiations and where they stand on issues like taxes, entitlement programs and spending cuts. The article "Seeking Ways to Raise Taxes but Leave Tax Rate As Is" gives additional background about the most recent fiscal negotiations.
Related | The article "Q&A: Understanding the Fiscal Cliff" from The Times's Economix blog explains what might happen if the United States goes over the fiscal cliff:
Almost everyone who pays taxes would see a hit to take-home pay in the first paycheck of January. The lowest income tax rate would rise to 15 percent from 10 percent. The highest rate would rise to 39.6 percent from 35 percent. The 25 percent, 28 percent and 33 percent rates would rise to 28 percent, 31 percent and 36 percent, respectively. Most capital gains taxes would rise to 20 percent from 15 percent. The tax rate on dividends, now set at 15 percent, would jump to ordinary income tax rates, and since most dividend taxes are paid by the wealthy, that would mean a new dividend tax rate of 39.6 percent. The exemption on taxation of inherited estates would drop to $1 million from $5 million. The tax rate above that exemption would jump to 55 percent from 35 percent.
Background Vocabulary: Read the entire article with your class, then answer the questions below. You may wish to introduce students to the following words or concepts before reading: exemption, sequestration, bipartisanship.
Questions | For discussion and reading comprehension:
- How will individuals be affected by the fiscal cliff?
- How will government programs be affected by the fiscal cliff?
- What are some of the specific policies involved in the fiscal cliff?
- What are some proposals for avoiding the fiscal cliff?
- What is President Obama expected to do regarding the fiscal cliff?
Activity | The phrase fiscal cliff refers to a collection of economic policies that are set to expire or be enacted at the start of 2013. These policy changes could drastically alter the economic and financial landscape of the country. This math lesson focuses on exploring two policies that directly affect individual taxpayers: the expiration of the so-called Bush tax cuts, and the expiration of the payroll tax cut.
From The Learning Network
- Lesson: No Taxation Without Calculation
- Lesson: Exploring the Math of the Debt Crisis
- Lesson: Analyzing Economic Indicators
From NYTimes.com
Around the Web
The Bush tax cuts refer to two acts of legislation passed during the presidency of George W. Bush that effectively reduced the amount of federal income tax individual Americans paid. The acts were passed in 2001 and 2003. These tax cuts were extended by President Obama but are set to expire and are part of the impending fiscal cliff.
Have students research the federal income tax rates that were in place before and after the Bush tax cuts were enacted. (Here is a list of historical tax rates.) Have them create a table of income levels (PDF), and have them compute and compare the amounts of tax an individual at different levels would have to pay (a) under current tax rates and brackets, and (b) using the rates and brackets from 2000 (the year before the first of the two Bush tax cuts were enacted). To simplify matters, use only the "Single" status category for all tax calculations.
Keep in mind that these are marginal tax rates. That is, someone earning $100,000 in 2003 would be in the 28 percent "tax bracket," but their income tax is not 28 percent of $100,000; they pay only 28 percent on the amount of their income above the next lowest bracket, which in this case ends at $68,800. Thus, this hypothetical individual earning $100,000 in 2003 would be taxed in the following way: 10 percent on the first $7,000; 15 percent on the amount from $7,000 to to $28,400 (a total of $21,400); 25 percent on the amount from $28,400 to $68,800 (a total of $40,400); and 28 percent on the amount from $68,800 to $100,000 (a total of $31,200). Thus, this individual's income tax would be (0.10 * $7,000) + (0.15 * $21,400) + (0.25 * $40,400) + (0.28 * $31,200) = $22,746.
The payroll tax cut is also set to expire at the end of this year. Individuals must pay a certain percentage of their income into Social Security. The payroll tax cut reduces the amount employees and the self-employed must pay from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent of their total income.
Have students calculate the difference that this 2 percent makes in the take-home pay of individual earners, and have them add this information to the chart. Keep in mind that only income up to $110,000 is taxable by Social Security — no income above that amount will be taxed at any rate.
When the chart is complete, have students put the numbers in context. Have them calculate the total increase in taxes for each income level. If these tax cuts expire, how much more will individuals be paying per year in taxes? How much less money will an individual have to spend per month? Per week? As a percentage, how much more will each income level pay in taxes?
Then discuss the implications of these tax increases. How do you think they will affect the families in the lowest income brackets? How will they affect families in the highest income brackets? How will they affect the United States economy if families have less money to spend? You may want to read "Whether 'Fiscal Cliff' or Debtpocalypse, by Any Name, It Spells Austerity" and "A Chance to Tackle Inequality" for additional analyses of the impending fiscal crisis.
Going Further | Here are additional way to explore this topic in depth using math:
Cutting Spending: The fiscal cliff does not just include tax increases. It also currently includes a budget sequestration — broad automatic cuts in federal spending. Read "White House Details Potential Effects if Automatic Budget Cuts Go Through." Choose five federal programs discussed in the article, write down the amount of 2013 cuts according to the article and then calculate how much the 2012 budget is for each program. Use the following excerpt to help with your calculations:
Under the terms of those cuts, most military programs face a 9.4 percent reduction, while most domestic programs would be sliced by 8.2 percent. Medicare would be trimmed by 2 percent, while other social programs — excluding Social Security — would be sliced by as much as 10 percent.
Example: The National Institutes of Health faces a $2.5 billion cut. The cut represents a 8.2 percent reduction (nonmilitary). Therefore, the N.I.H.'s 2012 budget is around $30.5 billion.
2.5 billion = x * .082
x = 30.5 billion total budget
The automatic cuts have been compared to slashing a budget "blindfolded," because budgets are not being determined based on the needs of government programs. If you were involved in the fiscal negotiations, what recommendations would you make for cutting spending? Would you be in favor of these "blindfolded" cuts? Are there specific programs that you would recommend for cutting spending? Are there any programs that you think should maintain current spending, or even increase spending?
Raising Taxes on the Wealthy: One of the central questions in the fiscal debate, as it was during the recent presidential campaign, is: How much should the wealthy pay in taxes? Look back at historical tax rates and compare current rates with rates from previous decades, like the 1970s or 1950s. How do they compare? What differences do you notice? Then, look at the Interactive "Your Coming Tax Cut (or Not)" used in this lesson's Warm-Up. What does the interactive illustrate about how the Bush tax cuts affected wealthy Americans?
Have students read one or more of the articles below and discuss arguments for and against increasing taxes on the wealthy. If students are in favor of increasing tax rates, they should articulate by how much and for which tax brackets. You may want to assign different articles to different students or groups:
- "Politics Complicates the Math in Ending Tax Breaks for Rich"
- Warren Buffet's Opinion piece "A Minimum Tax for the Wealthy"
- "Tax Talks Raise Bar for Richest Americans"
- Grover G. Norquist's 2011 Opinion piece "Read My Lips: No New Taxes"
Considering Policy: In addition to having students explore how individuals will be affected, have them consider the policy changes from the perspective of the government. More income tax means more revenue, but how much more? Take a look at income distribution in the United States, estimate how much more total tax revenue will be generated for the federal government from these higher rates using your completed tax chart, and put this number in the context of Mr. Obama's 2013 budget proposal. Click on the "Department Totals" button to see how the federal government spends its money on different government programs. What do you think the federal government should do with new revenues raised by increasing taxes? Should the money be used to reduce the deficit? Prevent cuts in certain programs? Increase spending in any areas?
Scaling the Budget to Household Size: The world-famous mathematician Terence Tao suggests rescaling federal budget numbers by converting $100 million to $3. This has the effect of scaling the entire federal budget of $3.54 trillion to a "household scale" of around $105,000. Have students convert the federal numbers calculated above into this "household" scale to put the numbers in a more understandable context, or have them create a scale of their own.

Will Ferrell was hospitalized following a serious car accident last night in Orange County, California. The actor was being chaffeured home from a Funny or Die event for Glam Up The Midterms—the get-out-the-vote drive started by Billy Eichner, where Ferrell had appeared in character as Ron Burgundy—when the car he was riding in collided with another along Interstate 5. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ferrell's car was hit by another automobile, resulting in the vehicle containing Ferrell and three other people flipping over.
Footage taken at the scene showed Ferrell was conscious as he was loaded into an ambulance, and subsequent reports say the actor is doing well and has subsequently been released from the hospital. While two other passengers also suffered minor injuries, a woman also riding in the car is said to have sustained "major injuries." The driver of the other car was unharmed and released without being detained or ticketed.

Why some people view parts of philosophy as semantic bullshit
Because, some philosophers still take things like the ontological argument seriously
In various ways, the account provided to this point is rough, and susceptible of improvement. Sections 1 – 5 in what follows provide some of the requisite embellishments, though — as is usually the case in philosophy — there are many issues taken up here which could be pursued at much greater length. Sections 6 – 8 take up some of the central questions at a slightly more sophisticated level of discussion. Section 9 is a quick overview of very recent work on ontological arguments:
Sacred Royalty
Dear Thai King,
In my opinion, your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
A citizen who (hopefully) enjoys the freedom of speech
The worst piece of journalism so far in 2009
Elizabeth Wurtzel wins this category with her incredibly terrible article on the Gaza attacks.
Standing against a tide of hatred
It is not Israel's action, but the vitriolic reaction to it that has been disproportionate. There's only one explanation: antisemitism
As it is my good fortune to be American, I live in the only country that as a matter of policy is pro-Israel regardless of party allegiance; Democrats and Republicans equally unite behind the blue-and-white. But to communicate with anyone I think of as rightminded (and left-leaning) in any other part of the world is to experience the purest antisemitism since the Nazi era.
Um.. WTF??!! Is she seriously comparing the massacre of six million people to expressing an opinion of disagreement with the death of innocent civilians in Gaza?
It is finished
I am finally done with all my graduate school applications. Now comes the long wait.
One thing that's very clear to me now, is that ETS is an evil organization which uses its monopoly to squeeze out as much money as it can from prospective graduate students.
Why is there a need to pay 20$ per university whenever I need to send my scores? It would be faster, and easier, if they simply have an electronic database with the scores, and allow the graduate admissions office access to the details of the scores through the internet. Also, 12$ dollars just to find out how I did in the test? That is ridiculous.
Anyway, to all my fellow undergrad students who've applied, best of luck!

Showing 61 - 70 of 243 annotations tagged with the keyword "Nursing"
Primary Category: Literature / Fiction
Genre: Novel
The story of a woman artist's slow decline into dementia and death as told through the eyes, words, and reflections of her philosophy professor son. Through his memories of their 1950s life together, he reconstructs a speculative analysis of her early married life with his soil-scientist, Russian-immigrant father.
The one older brother becomes a neuropathologist who investigates the very disease that slowly strips their mother of herself. Their father tends to her growing needs at the family farm, but he dies suddenly and she must be placed in an institution where one nurse alone seems to respect her dignity.
The brothers' rivalries and misunderstandings are recapitulated in their different responses to their father's death and their mother's illness: the physician retreats to scientific explanations of the "scar tissue" in her brain; the philosopher looks for evidence of personhood and for reassurance that death should not be feared. His obsession with his mother's condition stems from a deeply felt sense of guilt; it destroys his marriage and condemns him to depression, hypochondria, and shame as he creates and diagnoses the same illness in himself, long before it can be detected by doctors.
Augusto and Michaela Odone (Nick Nolte and Susan Sarandon) are the adoring parents of a bright little boy who inexplicably develops alarming behavioral problems, after they return from working in the Comoro Islands. A series of investigations results in a diagnosis of adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), but the boy rapidly deteriorates into a bed-ridden, inarticulate state. Frustrated by the medical profession's inability to help, Augusto and Michaela embark on an odyssey of salvation, studying lipid metabolism, promoting international conferences, and trying to disseminate their findings to other parents.
Their insights lead them to experiment with at least two effective therapies, one of which is erucic acid (Lorenzo's oil). Michaela feels guilt as well as grief, when she understands that the X-linked disease is passed from mother to son. In an effort to keep Lorenzo at home, she refuses to admit the extent of his disability, alienates her family, dismisses nurses, and assumes most of the care herself, nearly ruining her own health and her marriage. The film ends hopefully with tiny signs of recovery in Lorenzo. The credits roll over the faces and voices of happy, healthy-looking boys who have been taking Lorenzo's Oil.
In dire financial straits, the physician-researcher, Dr. Malcolm Sayres (Robin Williams), accepts a clinical job for which he is decidedly unsuited: staff physician in a chronic-care hospital. His charges include the severely damaged, rigid, and inarticulate victims of an epidemic of encephalitis lethargica. Sayres makes a connection between their symptoms and Parkinson's disease. With the hard-won blessing of his skeptical supervisor, he conducts a therapeutic trial using the new anti-Parkinson drug, L-Dopa.
The first patient to "awaken" is Leonard Lowe (Robert De Niro) who, despite being "away" for many years, proves to be a natural leader, with a philosophical mind of his own. Other patients soon display marked improvement and their stories are told in an aura of fund-raising celebration marked by happy excursions.
Gradually, however, problems develop: patients have trouble adapting to the radical changes in themselves and the world; Leonard grows angry with the imperfection of his rehabilitation; the horrifying side effects of L-Dopa appear; and Leonard's mother (Ruth Nelson), initially happy for her son's recovery, is later alienated by the concomitant arousal of his individuality, sexuality, and independence. The film ends with "closure of the therapeutic window" and marked regression in some patients, but not before they have awakened clinical commitment and a new ability to express feelings in their shy doctor.
The aged, black nurse, Eunice Evers (Alfre Woodward), testifies before the 1973 Senate hearings into the Tuskegee study. Through a series of lengthy flashbacks, her testimony evokes the 1932 origin and four-decade course of a research experiment to study but not treat syphilis in the black men of Macon County, Alabama. The federally funded project began with the intent to treat the men, but when funds dried up, the project coordinators decided simply to document the course of the disease to discover if blacks responded to syphilis as did whites.
The nurse was deeply attached to the patients and they, to her; a Dixie band named itself "Miss Evers' Boys." Evers and her doctor supervisor (Joe Morton) hoped that treatment would be restored after a few months, but ten years pass. With the advent of penicillin in 1942, her intelligent lover Caleb (Laurence Fishburne) rebelled, took penicillin, and enlisted in the army; the project, however, continues.
Evers is disbelieving when she realizes that the men will not be treated, but she cannot abandon them. Against the advice of her father, she refuses to leave Alabama with Caleb and continues to participate in the lie that encourages the Tuskegee men to remain untreated into the late 1960s. One by one Miss Evers' Boys die or are disabled by the disease.
The lives of writer Cathy Crimmins, her lawyer husband Alan Forman, and their seven-year-old daughter were changed forever on July 1, 1996, at a lake near Kingston, Ontario. "Alan's brain got run over by a speedboat. That last sentence reads like a bad country-western song lyric, but it's true. It was a silly, horrible, stupid accident." (p. 5). While Alan steered a small boat back to dock at the end of their vacation, a teenager drove a speedboat literally over him, causing major traumatic brain injury (TBI) including seizures, coma, hemorrhage and paralysis.
Crimmins chronicles her husband's remarkable recovery with a mix of humor, medical information, anger at HMO denial of benefits, and gratitude for the care of physicians, nurses, therapists, EMT, friends and family during this grueling, and in many ways, never-ending ordeal. Although Alan survived -- and is now capable of walking, speaking, reading, loving, working and driving -- he is a different person. The injury to his frontal lobes causes him to be disinhibited, erratic, angry, irrational, petulant, obsessive, devoted yet cruel to his daughter, and prone to severe "cognitive fatigue."
TBI is a bizarre, unpredictable illness. Crimmins notes that the degree of Alan's recovery is atypical for the force of his trauma. In addition, TBI survivors say and do wacky things: "Where is the mango princess?" was one of Alan's first utterances after emerging from his coma. Alan's pre-accident sharp-edged humor was replaced by bland affability and a disturbingly vacant gaze. Yet some of what he says and does is heart wrenching and poignant.
The book clearly documents that the trauma is not limited to the patient. As Crimmins so eloquently and honestly recounts, she, her daughter, and all who knew Alan were traumatized by the accident and its aftermath.
Crimmins is an aggressive caregiver, thrust kicking and fighting into the caregiver role. Her advocacy for her husband, including research into the best rehabilitation facility, day hospital, vocational rehabilitation program, doctors, therapists, etc., was unwavering and crucial to his optimal care and outcome.
This is the story of a child/young adult who had the misfortune of multiple health problems from the age of three until his death at 19. But even more than Jesse's story, this is the narrative of and by Jesse's father as he recalls the emotional rollercoaster accompanying the abbreviated span of his oldest son's life. The author kept detailed journals of his and his son's experiences with the health care professions, while also collecting the boy's artwork which appears to be Jesse's personal record of his own internal struggle.
Although not chronologically linear, the narrative allows the reader into the soul of the parents' agony, from the time of Jesse's initial diagnosis of hydrocephalus, through management of inflammatory bowel disease, and into the final chronicle of unsuccessful liver transplantations.
Primary Category: Literature / Poetry
Genre: Collection (Poems)
This chapbook of 26 poems traces the author's interactions with her mother, a woman lost in the morass of Alzheimer's disease. In the first poem, "The Loss" (1), the author takes us into her mother's home--a disorganized mess of stained thrift shop clothes folded and refolded into piles. The daughter tricks her mother into moving in with her "for a trial" which becomes permanent.
In the last poem, "At Least This" (26), the poet stoops "to pull the diaper / up around my mother's / waist, my temple / near her breasts." As the daughter leans into this task, the mother caresses her hair, embraces her. This hug, beautifully and simply portrayed, is the poet's fragile reward for all the struggles, mercies and difficult moments examined in the poems between.
These poems are both beautiful and unfailingly honest, addressing with humor and charity the difficulties of caring for a parent with this disease. In one poem, "The Battle" (5), the mother slathers herself with Vaseline. In another poem, "The Bath" (7), the mother lies in the bathtub, her flaccid skin smoothed by water's illusion, her body suddenly as lovely as Bonnard's painting of a woman bathing. "This is the mother I battled / when young: the mother / who beat my defiance; / the one I hit back," the poet writes in "A Late Blessing" (6), and in another poem, "Intellectual Opiate" (10), she speaks of her mother's love for words she no longer understands.
But these poems are more than poignant narratives about a daughter's relationship with a once-difficult, now dependent mother. They address the "seeds of her disease" (11), exposing the flaws of this relationship without dishonor or blame. In these poems, Slatkin's mother appears vibrant and whole, not ravaged by disease. Rarely have the difficulties and possibilities of Alzheimer's disease been presented in poetry with such insight and respect.
Primary Category: Literature / Nonfiction
Genre: Treatise
In four parts this book uses a wide variety of images--caricatures in newspapers, comic books, advertisements, and photojournalism of Life magazine--to explore attitudes to physicians and medical progress in the mass media from the late nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. Each section centers on a specific type of image and the analysis addresses change in perception of doctors and their achievements by privileging crucial moments of newsworthy events and discoveries.
Early in this history, the media portrayed doctors as frock-coat wearing fops. Medical metaphors used in a political context proclaimed these attitudes well. The story of four little boys, bitten by a dog in 1885 and sent to Pasteur in Paris for the newly invented rabies vaccination, is used as a pivot point for a transition in perceptions of medicine: from a clumsy, suspicious craft to a useful, progressive science.
The third section is devoted to the public fascination with the history of medicine in the period from 1920 to 1950, Films, newspaper articles, and comic books chart the insatiable taste for scientific success and medical progress. The last section studies images of progress in Life and other magazines through a meticulous analysis of health-related articles. In this section, Hansen shows how the media participated in educating the public to a definition of science that enjoyed an enthusiastically optimistic spin.
An appendix lists American radio dramas about medical history from 1935 to 1953. A wealth of sources are documented in the notes and the whole is completed with an intelligent index.

Genre: Anthology (Mixed Genres)
Kaplan Publishing has recently released several anthologies aimed at a nursing audience or perhaps at a reading audience that wants to know more about what nurses think and feel about their professions. This anthology, a collection of poetry and essays, looks at the various reasons these authors went into nursing in the first place, how nursing changed them, and why they either stayed the course or went on to other pursuits. As the editors say in the Introduction, "nursing abounds with experiences that can either reinforce our vocational commitment or cause us to reconsider it" (p. xi).
In the first section, "The Calling," poems and essays examine "the idealistic reflections of those aglow with nursing's promise of intimacy and connection" (xii). Here we meet student nurses with a true calling who are "living, breathing and sleeping nursing" (p.5), and students who are sure they are going "to murder someone" (p. 6). Like most professionals, nurses often have mentors, and those mentors--"brisk, frank, fast, sometimes sharp" (p. 30)---are honored in this section as well. Readers, upon completing this section, will be moved and cheered by the poems and essays that reflect the romance of nursing and the intense drive that many nurses have to give of themselves to others.
The editors, however, are no Polyannas. They know that a student's illusions and dreams will run right smack into reality. While the rewards will certainly be many, the discouragements will be present as well. The fact that both experiences---the highs and the lows---can occur within a single day is reflected in the collection's second section, "The Reckoning." Here the realities of death, exhaustion, burnout and doubt are faced full on. Some of the works in this section are by nurses who have chosen to leave the profession: "Brazil, the new hospital. We have no water. Doctors protest poor facilities by refusing to see patients and sitting in their cars outside in the parking lot" (p. 81), writes Veneta Masson as she traces her career from 1958 to 1998 when she decides to leave nursing and "use my hands to write and to bless" (p. 84). While some have chosen to leave, other nurses have found ways to survive: "Nursing allowed me to help my mother die; my music has helped me live" (p. 88) writes Colleen O'Brien, and Fr. Robert J. Kus writes about his dual roles, priest and nurse, how they balance and enhance one another (pp. 102-110). The works in this section remind readers of the sacrifices caregivers must make every day. As Jo Ann Papich writes, "Please appreciate your nurse while you still have one" (p. 99).
Section Three, "Reincarnation," tells of the "informed commitment that arises after sustained trial" (p. 165). Here nurse-writers talk about survival and the oddly comfortable balance between stress and transcendence that comes, at last, after many years in nursing. In "Why I Like Dead People," Sallie Tisdale takes a wry look at death, nursing homes and their "cockeyed logic" (p. 175). Anne Webster, in "Slow Night in the E.R." talks about doing what you must do to help others even when you "can't do it," when you "stand outside the curtain, shaking" until the patient asks, "Are you there?" (p. 186-7). Kathryn Gahl, in "The Reason Nurses Write Mostly Poetry" says it's because nurses "convert heart sounds // and hard words into art before the next patient / arrives, hemorrhaging, counting on that nurse / to flow like a pen, bleed for both of them" (p. 195). And in the book's final essay, "I'm Staying," Shirley Stephenson offers a series of lovely statements about why she, and others, might continue in the frustrating, tiring, challenging and miraculous profession of nursing. "Because I have been in the bed, and beside the bed. Because I have waited. Because I believe any one of us could face the circumstances of those for whom we provide care, and we're much more similar than different. Because this is where the rhythm is loudest---yes this yes this yes this yes this" (p. 246).
Author Jennifer Culkin has been involved, for all of her nursing career, in high stakes, heart stopping, instant-decision-making areas of critical care. After years working in Neonatal Intensive Care, she became a flight nurse--and giving intensive care to trauma victims while trying to maintain balance and sterile technique in a wind-buffeted helicopter has to be one of the most difficult tasks a nurse might undertake. Her memoir, A Final Arc of Sky, opens with such a scene. The patient, Doug, is soon crashing, and the nursing team, Jennifer and her partner, have to make a series of tough decisions (pp. 8-12). From this scene on, the action rarely wavers. And although Culkin keeps the pace moving, she is not always, or even most often, telling us about similar traumas. She deftly weaves her personal narrative--husband and sons and dying parents--in and out of scenes from her nursing career, braiding the plot lines of her life in chapters both moving and compelling.
In those chapters that deal with the often dangerous helicopter transports Culkin has flown, we learn (and we feel) just what it's like to be a flight nurse crammed in-between patient and helicopter door, juggling instruments that too often slip to the floor and trying to save patients that too often want to die. In those pages that deal with family, we are privy to Culkin's internal debate about how to separate family from nursing (what she calls "the great neuronal divide between my work and my life" (p.136), and we see that she sometimes doesn't have much energy left at the end of the day to draw close to those she loves. Part of what makes this memoir difficult to put down is the persona of the narrator herself: Culkin comes across as an honest, often irreverent risk taker, a woman who likes to ride her bike down dangerous hills at breakneck speed and allows her son to do the same (see chapter six, p. 57); a woman who loves the dangerous drama of flight nursing and doesn't worry about crashing (p. 80)--in fact she enjoys strapping herself "into the eye of a maelstrom" (p. 80).
This memoir entertains, and it provides a glimpse into how some caregivers not only risk their lives to save the lives of others but also shoulder the responsibility of making split second decisions upon which a patient's life might depend. And there is a surprise in this memoir, one that I can't too fully divulge because to do so would be to rob potential readers of their own discovery. Suffice it to say that near the end, Culkin reveals something about her own health, an illness she has fought against in every chapter. When we learn the details of her own illness narrative, we look again, with new understanding, at her fascinating career and her interactions with her loved ones.

Overview of the Okavango River Basin
The Okavango River Basin
The Okavango river basin covers a hydrologically active area of approximately 323 192 km2 shared by three countries in southern Africa: Angola, Namibia and Botswana. The Okavango River is the fourth longest river system in southern Africa, running for 1,100 km from central Angola, as the Kubango, through Namibia to the Kalahari in Botswana. The river rises in the headwaters of the Cuito and Cubango tributaries in the highland plateau of Angola at an elevation of 1780 metres. It derives its principal flow from 120,000 km² of sub-humid and semiarid rangeland in Cuito-Cubango province of Angola before concentrating its flow along the margins of Namibia and Angola and finally spilling into the Okavango fan or 'delta' at an elevation of 980 metres. Several rivers become one as the water moves south and east, branching again when it reaches and ends in the Okavango Delta, one of the largest freshwater inland wetlands on the planet. The river delivers about 10 cubic kilometres of surface flow into the Delta system per annum.
Geological controls on the margin of the fan determine the eventual flow of remaining
water into a set of evaporation pans in the Kalahari Desert. The Okavango Basin could also be delineated to include a substantial area of fossil rivers that are not hydrologically active but nevertheless a part of the topographic basin.
The Okavango waters are clear and contain few dissolved chemicals, solutes or pollutants. The riparian landscapes along many of the waterways remain relatively unchanged with natural plant and aquatic life remaining healthy. The river supports people, their livestock and a myriad of livelihoods ranging from artisanal fisheries to small scale agriculture. The Okavango Delta, a unique but fragile ecosystem, is a significant source of tourism income and cultural value to the people of Botswana.
The Okavango River and Delta are together an example of a complex flood pulse cycle that feeds and supports ecological and social systems in the southern Africa region. In terms of contribution to the average annual inflows to the Okavango basin system, there are substantial differences among the three countries, with Angola contributing by far the most. The Basin is home to about 600 000 people and has only three major urban centres: Menongue in Angola, Rundu in Namibia and Maun in Botswana.

Embawo's creations are made of the innovative combination of wood and leather.
All pieces can be widely personalized according to the customer's wish. Each piece is itself a uniqueness due to the fact that it cannot be replicated because wood is an ever changeable material when used in its naturality.
Embawo exalts the colours and the forms of the nature.
Embawo represents essentially a style, a life mood, a way to be, a statement.
Embawo is class, clean lines, smooth shapes, natural design.
Embawo is the creative innovation coming from the made-in-Italy manufacturing excellence.
Each bag and accessory incorporates the brand's signature wood panels, but the varying grains give to each one a completely different appearance.
While Norbert Öttl, the South Tirol creator of the brand, loves designing bags, this is not where the Embawo story ends: a line of hand baggage has been already launched and, more furniture and homewards are already in his collection.

Omar Cricket Club retained the title by edging out K-Electric by nine runs in the low-scoring final of the 29th edition of the Karachi Gymkhana Omar Associates Ramazan Festival Twenty20 Cricket Tournament 2014 at the KG Cricket Ground on July 27.
Batting first, Omar CC recovered to post a total of 145 for six in the allotted 20 overs with Sarfaraz Ahmed's unbeaten 33 off 22 balls being the highest contribution. Anwar Ali played a little cameo of 25 off 15 balls while Hafiz Saad Nasim remaining undefeated on 23 off 10 balls and Khurram Manzoor making 21 off 20 balls.
K-Electric was restricted to 136 for nine after an absorbing contest between bat and ball. Shahid Khan (31 off 24 balls), Faraz Ali (25 off 26 balls) and Tariq Haroon (20 off 20 balls) got a start but neither of them could finish the game as Omar CC fought back through medium-pacer Asif Raza (3-22) and the spin duo of Zulfiqar Babar (2-25) and Adnan Kalim (2-31).
Nadeem Omar, Managing Director, Omar Associates (Pvt) Ltd, who was the chief guest in the prize distribution ceremony held immediately after the conclusion of the final, presented a cheque of Rs five lacs to the winning captain, Adnan Kalim, while total cash awards of Rupees one million were disbursed on the occasion.
Asif Raza's fine all-round performance had enabled the defending champions to storm into the final when outwitted Eaton Cricket Club by 32 runs in the rain-curtailed semifinal on July 25.
Batting first, Omar CC managed 125 for nine in the allotted 17 overs with Hafiz Saad Nasim (26 off 23 balls), Anwar Ali (21 off 15 balls), Asif Raza (21 off 8 balls), presented Man of the Match award by chief guest Jahangir Moghul, and Omar Siddiq (21 off 27 balls) chipped in with crucial knocks as the batsmen were tested by the spin duo of Saadat Munir (4-33) and Fahad Anjum (2-29).
Eaton CC could not get on top of the penetrative bowling to be skittled for 93 in 16.3 overs with only Ali Jawwad (27 off 30 balls), Nadeem Javed (17 off 15 balls) and Fahad Anjum (14 off 10 balls) offering some resistance as the innings was wrecked by the quartet of Zulfiqar Babar (3-29), Anwar Ali (2-8), Faraz Ahmed (2-9) and Asif Raza (2-22).
K-Electric had cruised into the final by having overwhelmed Advance Telecom by seven wickets in the other semifinal on July 26.
Put into bat, Advance Telecom struggled against the slow bowlers to reach a total of 133 for nine in 20 overs in which Sohail Khan (22 off 14 balls), Mohammad Yasin (21 off 20 balls) and Asif Ali (18 off 19 balls) contributed anything of note.
Off-spinners Shahid Khan (2-11) and Misbah Khan (2-30) were well supported by the quartet of Fawad Khan, Osama Basharat, Rizwan Khan and Saud Shakil, all of whom got a wicket each.
Opener Faraz Ali, adjudged Man of the Match, smashed a couple of sixes and seven boundaries in his 70 off 51 balls which allowed K-Electric to reach the target comfortably with 2.1 overs to spare. Off-spinner Nasir Owais (2-14) was the pick of the Advance Telecom bowlers.

Cast of Jekyll and Hyde The Musical prepare for opening night
Cast members of the highly-anticipated Jekyll and Hyde The Musical are ready and raring to go for opening night tonight.
The musical will run from August 22 until September 1 in the nave of Lincoln Cathedral and includes over 200 local people in the cast.
Originally based on Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novella, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, a musical adaptation of the story was brought to Broadway in 1997.
In the story Dr Jekyll takes a potion that turns him from a mild-mannered man into his violent madman alter-ego Mr Hyde.
Director Ben Poole, who also plays Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, told The Lincolnite: "I think it's going to be a very stirring evening and it's going to be a very emotional night for the audience.
"It jumps into the story straight away and then from there it's a rollercoaster of emotions and there's some beautiful ballads that the ladies sing which sound like Whitney Houston songs."
Choreographer Hannah Simmons, said: "It's been a really great experience and there's been a large cast to work with."
"It's been a challenge, Ben and I have spent a lot of hours putting work into it, but it's been really good."
Tickets are still available for most of the nights and they can be purchased on their website.

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
You Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that, as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up and get it sent out to you - it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery Dates provided on product pages.

All Saints Parish Newsletter 15th June 2018
Dear Friends,
"We would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord." (2.Cor. 5.6).
Given the trials and afflictions of his ministry, the prospect of being "at home with the Lord" had an understandable appeal for Paul. Not least among his woes were those given him by the church in Corinth; including their preference for those "who boast in outward appearance and not in the heart." Paul might well have been tempted to wash his hands of them altogether, rather than appealing to them again as he does in 2 Corinthians from which we have a reading on Sunday (Ch. 5.6-17).
Why does Paul choose not to give up on them? It is not a matter of wounded pride or a stubborn refusal to accept failure, but something much deeper which is the heart and motive force of his and all Christian life and ministry:
"For the love of Christ urges us on, because we are convinced that one has died for all, therefore all have died."
The "love of Christ" is first, Christ's love for us, which then generates our love for him and for those for whom he died. Paul's attitude to Jesus had been transformed by his experience of the risen Christ, "even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view, we know him no longer in that way."
That fundamental change also transforms Paul's understanding of other human beings. They are the "all" for whom Christ has died, so, "From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view." Jesus died to demonstrate God's love for all, and that we might be able to share in that love: "that those who live might live no longer for themselves, but for him who died and was raised for them." That transformation then is something which affects us all. The Greek word translated as "urges" or "compels" also has the sense of "holding within bounds" or "controlling;" it forms our love after the pattern of Christ's. In our attitude to others, we are to look beneath outward appearances to see those for whom Christ gave his life.
Seeing others as Christ sees them is easy to say, harder to do. Paul speaks of "knowing the fear of the Lord," as his reason for trying to "persuade others." That sounds odd to us: are fear and love not incompatible? Well, not if we realize that Paul's use of "fear" is rooted in the Old Testament's sense of an enduring faithfulness to God.
Such enduring faithfulness is at the heart of love inspired and formed by Christ's enduring faithfulness to us. We encounter this whenever we gather to hear the gospel proclaimed and to celebrate the eucharist. We are drawn into that movement of love towards God and neighbour which we see and share in Christ. Like Paul, we are to "make it our aim to please him."
And lest we confuse emotion for action, feelings for deeds, then Paul warns: "... all of us must appear before the judgement seat of Christ, so that each may receive recompense for what has been done in the body, whether good of evil."
Just as Paul had his Corinthians with whom to put this into practice, we are given our community of less than perfect fellow-Christians to be our school of love; and they are given us. We can bless God, both for those who are an example and inspiration, and also for those we find a challenge. As St. John of the Cross says, we are like stones in a bag, which become smooth by being rubbed together.
Yours in Christ,
Fr Alan Moses, Vicar,
All Saints Margaret Street

An efficient enterprise emblem is an organization's lifetime companion. Simply look at some of the high players reminiscent of FedEx and UPS and think about how their logos have a common enchantment that most people all over the world are aware of. As you grow your small business and develop your model, knowledgeable designer can create the following era of your emblem and model id.
The key to this is our superb workforce of brand design professionals working across the clock to realize perfection with your new firm brand design. As a bonus, you may also use the design software program to create other objects, like business cards , making it closer to a one-cease shop than another choices.
It's considered good design practice to make sure that a emblem is refined, reasonably than intricate, as complicated drawings and outlines typically do not look good at smaller scales; while your emblem may look astounding on a highway-aspect billboard or on the floor of a company truck, it may be unrecognizable on a business card or the apex of a brochure.
It is the creation of expectation, a promise of high quality – the emotional response of your clients to your company and merchandise. In an effort to model a constructive picture of your online business, you might want to resign your self to the truth that you can not do every thing by yourself.
Brand picture is a type of prolific elements which categorical and talk about an object in addition to verbal communications do. If we speak about corporates, even a brand, a slogan or a character sketch can put much influence on a product's establishment amongst peoples as they start endorsing a particular brand by assuming solely a brand or slogan as part of it is model image.

Location: The Palms in Las Vegas!
Hey everyone it's Ginger! It's that time again, to get as many of us as we can together to celebrate, share old memories, and make new ones.
Reunion 2018 will definitely be one to put into the memory books. This is the first DHS Reunion of its kind, to be taken out of California and moved across the Mojave Desert to Las Vegas. After all… who doesn't have fun in Vegas, right?
More event details will come as time gets closer but in the meantime save the date and schedule for October 6th, Saturday evening at The Palms Hotel & Casino. The event fee is $100/person and I set it up to be paid through Zelle (more info on that down below). It would be greatly appreciated if the fee could be sent as soon as possible as the event had to be paid up front in full. The Palms unfortunately did not offer any real discounted blocked room rates but, you'll find booking online offers cheaper rates. Plus, with The Palms location so close to the Strip, you have the option to book at any hotel you might like to stay at and still be near the venue. The closest hotels to The Palms are the Gold Coast and Rio.
The links below are to The Palms website and to the Zelle FAQ page should you have any questions on how to pay the event fee. Zelle is offered directly through many major banks such as Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, US Bank, Capital One, and many more that can also be found linked below.
