Good Morning Gatherers. How're You Today?
Karen F. Sep 11, 2008, 5:43am EDT
Good morning Dan. I thought I might be the only one up at 5:00 in the am. How are you this morning
Karen F. Sep 11, 2008, 5:43am EDT
Are you sleeping better? I actually slept 7 hours last night and that is something I never do.
Dan H. Sep 11, 2008, 5:44am EDT
Lol, nah, I had a long and busy day yesterday. I was with a patient for over an hour. He turned out to be a child abuse case (I only found out most of the details after asking the mom to leave the room).
Dan H. Sep 11, 2008, 5:46am EDT
Yes, I slept better last night. I am still finishing up typing his H&P since there's the high likelihood that what I write will eventually be used as evidence in a trial.
Karen F. Sep 11, 2008, 5:46am EDT
That is so sad. How was he when he left. I know that those cases will be hard. I come from an abused back ground and one of my granddaughters was abused by the mother's boyfriend so I don't take kindly to the abuser. Needs to be strung up.
Dan H. Sep 11, 2008, 5:47am EDT
Aww, poor Maru, I'm sorry to hear that. Try tapping on various spots on your face with your fingers and tell me where it seems to hurt the most (which will help us locate which sinuses are involved if they are).
Karen F. Sep 11, 2008, 5:47am EDT
Good morning Maru...hope you feel better today
Karen F. Sep 11, 2008, 5:49am EDT
I have to get ready to go to Atlanta. I am hoping to find time in the evenings to get on Gather while I am gone. Will have the trusty laptop with me so I can stay in touch and post some photos. Have a great rest of the week.
Dan H. Sep 11, 2008, 5:49am EDT
Well, there are many details about the case that I'm not at liberty to discuss. Simply, I'm trying to be very careful about my words, highlight pertinent positive and negative findings, and include his words where possible.
Dan H. Sep 11, 2008, 5:51am EDT
Karen, remember to enjoy yourself.

Maru, do you have an air purifier in the home that can help? You can get one for pretty cheap so you're not having to use benadryl everyday or sinus meds.
mary J. Sep 11, 2008, 5:56am EDT
Good Morning, Dan. I hope you're fine.
Dan H. Sep 11, 2008, 5:57am EDT
You can find some at Target as well. They'll help lower the indoor pollution level.
Dan H. Sep 11, 2008, 5:58am EDT
Thank you Mary, it was a very busy day yesterday. I am hoping that today is a bit easier.
Karen R. Sep 11, 2008, 6:00am EDT
Good morning you all... I haven't been to bed yet :) It is 3am here and I should be heading to bed in a few minutes. I hope you all have a good chat and a great day.
Ariel Storm Sep 11, 2008, 6:03am EDT
Good morning everyone :)
Dan H. Sep 11, 2008, 6:04am EDT
Karen, you need some sleep.

Good morning Ariel.
mary J. Sep 11, 2008, 6:05am EDT
I hope so Dan... Go to sleep.
Dan H. Sep 11, 2008, 6:05am EDT
Yes Maru, that's where I ended up getting my air purifiers and they definitely help so long as you clean out the filters when necessary.
Bryan "That 80's Dude" B. Sep 11, 2008, 6:06am EDT
Good morning folks. New to the group and new to gather.
Ariel Storm Sep 11, 2008, 6:06am EDT
hi maru :)
mary J. Sep 11, 2008, 6:06am EDT
Hi Maru... My Cousin is called Marvel and her nickname is Maru. She is still baby.
Ariel Storm Sep 11, 2008, 6:07am EDT
welcome and enjoy bryan!
Dan H. Sep 11, 2008, 6:08am EDT
Good morning Bryan, welcome.
Ariel Storm Sep 11, 2008, 6:10am EDT
Sheeesh....A tropical storm warning was just posted for New Orleans. Ike is one big nasty storm.
Dan H. Sep 11, 2008, 6:12am EDT
Well, I finally got home around 7:30 or 8pm last night and still needed to make dinner. Unless we get some interesting admits later in the day today, I should be off quite a bit earlier.
Bryan "That 80's Dude" B. Sep 11, 2008, 6:12am EDT
So far its been pretty cool...and addicting. Finally a place I can write at that I can share the same interests with people :)
Bryan "That 80's Dude" B. Sep 11, 2008, 6:13am EDT
lol no prob Maru...I will take brain as a compliment :)
Nanci M. Sep 11, 2008, 6:13am EDT
Good Morning, Dan!
Dan H. Sep 11, 2008, 6:14am EDT
I hear you Bryan, I've posted a bunch of pictures over the last week and I've been trying to have people take a look since it earns points both for them and for me (and then I'm able to afford groceries). It can get quite addicting.
Bryan "That 80's Dude" B. Sep 11, 2008, 6:14am EDT
New Orleans is awesome during the day...scary at night
Dan H. Sep 11, 2008, 6:15am EDT
Maru, it's more that I heard that we had a DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis) admit yesterday so I left the clinic at 6:30pm and went to the hospital for 30 min.

Good morning Nanci.
Linda T. Sep 11, 2008, 6:15am EDT
good morning!
Tanzanite S. Sep 11, 2008, 6:16am EDT
Good Morning Dan you must be coming across some very interesting patient life stories in your work now.
Ariel Storm Sep 11, 2008, 6:16am EDT
I live out in the burbs and rarely go into the city. I avoid it as much as possible.
Bryan "That 80's Dude" B. Sep 11, 2008, 6:16am EDT
I will be sure to take a look at them this morning Dan. Im still learning the points rope but I hope to be able to make something from my writing. Im actually trying to write a Childrens book which is a whole different world from writting article.
Ariel Storm Sep 11, 2008, 6:17am EDT
morning linda
Dan H. Sep 11, 2008, 6:18am EDT
Well, on the contrary, I think I'm seeing more interesting cases in the clinic than in the hospital. The hospital has yielded either broken bones, vomiting, or respiratory distress patients.
Bryan "That 80's Dude" B. Sep 11, 2008, 6:19am EDT
Morning Linda :)
Dan H. Sep 11, 2008, 6:19am EDT
I appreciate that Bryan. I do have a bunch of pictures up but remember that you'll earn points for all of them that you view and comment on. Also, you'll have the good feeling of knowing that you're helping me afford groceries.
Dan H. Sep 11, 2008, 6:20am EDT
Luckily Sadie isn't here yet this morning to make fun of me, but I'm going to go hop in the shower. I hope you all have a wonderful day, enjoy the chat, and have a look at my pics if you get a chance, I'd definitely appreciate it.
Ariel Storm Sep 11, 2008, 6:22am EDT
I lived all my life in cities. Now I avoid them if I can. I prefer it way out in the burbs. I like the open land and quiet.
Bryan "That 80's Dude" B. Sep 11, 2008, 6:22am EDT
No prob Dan. Being unemployed I can understand that sentiment.
Karen R. Sep 11, 2008, 6:23am EDT
Good night everyone.....I am heading to bed :) I will try to get in and view some of your pictures in the next day or so Dan.
Bryan "That 80's Dude" B. Sep 11, 2008, 6:23am EDT
lol no low ratings promise..

Take care dan
Bryan "That 80's Dude" B. Sep 11, 2008, 6:24am EDT

Bryan "That 80's Dude" B. Sep 11, 2008, 6:27am EDT
I live in a small town but I miss the city life I used to have
Nanci M. Sep 11, 2008, 6:27am EDT
G'night Karen!
Bryan "That 80's Dude" B. Sep 11, 2008, 6:28am EDT
Chat rooms would be nice. Sadly I am on dial up so refreshing takes forever.
Bryan "That 80's Dude" B. Sep 11, 2008, 6:28am EDT
Thanks Maru...I look forward to it
Leslie E Sep 11, 2008, 6:29am EDT
Good Morning Dan Hope you have a nice day! Hi everyone I'm new here.
Linda T. Sep 11, 2008, 6:30am EDT
Insomnia has been ruling me lately. I am going to try and unwind and sleep a bit. Hope everyone has a great day.
Ariel Storm Sep 11, 2008, 6:30am EDT
I find I can't tolerate the crowds in the city anymore. I'm enjoying being in a small town. Maybe its old age setting in LOL
Nanci M. Sep 11, 2008, 6:31am EDT
Welcome to Morning Chat, Leslie!
Vic Needs Coffee Sep 11, 2008, 6:31am EDT

Morning Ariel!
Bryan "That 80's Dude" B. Sep 11, 2008, 6:37am EDT
I dont really like the crowds so much as I like being able to find something to do at all times. Being an insomniac I find myself awake and bored a pretty good bit.

Morning Vic
Bryan "That 80's Dude" B. Sep 11, 2008, 6:39am EDT

Morning everyone. Hope you all have a great day!!
Ariel Storm Sep 11, 2008, 6:58am EDT
Its going to be nasty here today Lena. I'm jealous of the cold weather you're getting!
Bryan "That 80's Dude" B. Sep 11, 2008, 6:58am EDT
Maru, I have seen stuff about that in the news but schools here aren't seeing any cut backs and we live in a lower income school system area.
Ariel Storm Sep 11, 2008, 6:58am EDT
Morning KD and Danielle.
hi Ariel, MURU, Bryan, Nanci
Bryan "That 80's Dude" B. Sep 11, 2008, 7:00am EDT

bryan i juat went and asked you to be on my list hope you like gather
K D Lovett Sep 11, 2008, 7:05am EDT
It is nice seeing so many new folks finding this little corner of the internet. I've met several very nice folks here. And seen lots of good posts and photos from the folks that come here. I am way behind on checking out Lena's and Dan's and probably have missed a few folks lately. The days have been long and hectic lately. Who knew working two jobs would be so confusing especially when they are both part time.
mary J. Sep 11, 2008, 7:06am EDT
No Maru, I don't know...
Ariel Storm Sep 11, 2008, 7:07am EDT
Coffee for all! :)
lena k. Sep 11, 2008, 7:09am EDT
kd we forgive you i know some people are busy and can't get to everyone right away just go see my photos when you have the time i understand
mary J. Sep 11, 2008, 7:09am EDT
Thanks Ariel...
K D Lovett Sep 11, 2008, 7:09am EDT
Dan, I'm so sorry that you had such a long day yesterday. I know that the child you met yesterday will be better off for your meeting. The child needed a nice person that would be diligent in their efforts.

My final seminar during student teaching was on spotting and reporting child abuse. Kids today go through so much. I know many adults went through as bad things when they were young, but it just seems that there are so many more dangers for kids of today than when we were young. It may not be true, but that is the appearance. Some days, I suspect that it is merely that people talk about things more than they used to years ago.
Bryan "That 80's Dude" B. Sep 11, 2008, 7:10am EDT
Coffee?
