Household fiddling about most of day - sorted laundry, drank tea, cleaned bathroom, drank tea, watched a bit of television, drank a lot of tea, went out to the bank and to buy petrol, came home, drank more tea.


Do you see a pattern here?

A good day for tea? Hot or iced? What's your favorite flavor?
I;)
 
Looks like I won't be going anywhere today. The roofers are here, and I'm parked in by a bunch of workers' cars and haul-away equipment. We had significant hail damage last year, and I finally got around to getting it fixed. Got the best of the best, highly recommended and busy, he did two other houses on the road, and the neighbors are very happy with the work. The crew arrived shortly after 7 am, and should be finished by the end of the day. Beagle was very confused when I took her out this morning!

Edit: They're already done and cleaned up by 11!


Excellent. It was like that at Mom's when she had her roof done!
 
We also have physician assistants who practice under the supervision of a physician. Their training is typically a two-year master's degree; their undergrad degree can be practically anything. They can prescribe and treat, but typically you'll see them after a physician has already diagnosed you and created a treatment plan. The occupation of physician assistant was created after the Vietnam War because there were so many highly trained military medics who were not qualified to be doctors or nurses after they left the service.

Poo is a PA. He has three Master Degrees, all in medicine. He works in a hospital in Vermont that is owned by seven MD's. Each one has their own specialty. Poo is in charge of the ER, 24 hours a day. There are no other doctors practicing at this hospital. They only hire PA's and nurses.

This hospital receives all the skiing accidents during ski season. Many times in the winter, he is called in because a double compound fracture was brought in. Or some other serious injury has occurred. Poo stabilizers them, and has even had to do emergency surgery on more than one occasion. Then the helicopter takes them to Dartmouth Hospital in NH.

Poo also wrote the whole program for the PA Program at Boston University. He was highly recommended by the Director of the PA program at Yale where he trained.

So depending on where and what State you practice in, not all PA's are hanging onto the coattails of doctors.

You're mistaken.

The Vermont Statutes Online
Title*26*:*Professions And Occupations
Chapter*031*:*Physician Assistants.
(Cite as: 26 V.S.A. § 1735a)

§ 1735a. Supervision and scope of practice

(a) It is the obligation of each team of physician and physician assistant to ensure that the physician assistant's scope of practice is identified; that delegation of medical care is appropriate to the physician assistant's level of competence; that the supervision, monitoring, documentation, and access to the supervising physician is defined; and that a process for evaluation of the physician assistant's performance is established.

(b) The information required in subsection (a) of this section shall be included in a delegation agreement as required by the commissioner by rule. The delegation agreement shall be signed by both the physician assistant and the supervising physician or physicians, and a copy shall be kept on file at each of the physician assistant's practice sites and the original filed with the board.

(c) The physician assistant's scope of practice shall be limited to medical care which is delegated to the physician assistant by the supervising physician and performed with the supervision of the supervising physician. The medical care shall be within the supervising physician's scope of practice and shall be care which the supervising physician has determined that the physician assistant is qualified by education, training, and experience to provide.

(d) A physician assistant may prescribe, dispense, and administer drugs and medical devices to the extent delegated by a supervising physician. A physician assistant who is authorized by a supervising physician to prescribe controlled substances must register with the federal Drug Enforcement Administration.

(e) A supervising physician and physician assistant shall report to the board immediately upon an alteration or the termination of the delegation agreement. (Added 2011, No. 61, § 4, eff. June 2, 2011.)

What is missing from the pattern is several stops in the WC. :ohmy::LOL:

*sigh* That used to be my daily pattern. Then I managed to drink so much tea (and other liquids) that I reduced my blood sodium level enough to trigger a referral to a specialist. After three months of about 48 ounces liquid total (including that cup that might be in my bowl of soup...), I've got the sodium level back to normal. Bonus, I get to add 5-7 ounces liquid consumption daily! WooHoo!

BTW, I probably put down nearly 100 ounces between multiple cups of tea, about 12 ounces of coffee, and my nightly glass of wine - size determined by how the day went. :LOL:
 
Nothing!

After three days of go-go-go, I finally decided to do nothing. You must understand that I really do not know how to do nothing. After pulling the last four screens from the windows and washing a total of eight windows (in and out) on Thursday, along with running the dishwasher (and all of the putting-away after it's done), cooking supper, doing two loads of laundry on Thursday, I was going to do nothing on Friday. Except that on Friday I did another couple loads of laundry, including the sheets from the bed that I stripped and re-set, cleaned the sun room, and reorganized some things in the basement, along with making a full, lots of sides meal. Saturday comes along as my "now I take a break" day...and I didn't. Along with a bit more cleaning (and another load of laundry - it all seems to need to be washed at once :LOL: ), I and my bread machine baked bread. Supper was easy, though.

Today, nothing. Football all day long, CBS shows all night tonight. So nice to veg!
 
I'm nursing a headache, trying to chase it away by listening to Vivaldi's Concerto for 2 Trumpets, one of my very favorite classical pieces. So hummable.

Now that it's over (and my headache isn't), I think I'll nurse a small amount of an adult beverage and do a little reading.

Trumpets are probably not great for headaches. Adult beverages probably don't cure headaches either (often cause them), but if you drink enough of them, you won't care. :LOL:

I've spent the day killing bees and/or vacuuming dead bees. The beekeeper came, found where the bees were setting up their honeycomb, and they should all be dead, by now. But, there are still a bunch of bees in the attic, and some that make their way into the living quarters of the house. I tossed three bug bombs up into the attic like hand grenades. Hopefully that will finish off the ones that aren't already dead.

The important thing is, by finding the developing honeycomb and treating it, the queen should be dead, which means the rest of the bees will die.

What a day. :glare: :mad:

I very rarely get a headache. It has been a few years since my last one. I don't even have an aspirin in the house in the event I may get one some day.
 
I'm watching the worst cooking show I think I've ever seen.

Like my life isn;t stressfull enough, my office has been fitted with 10, 75" TV monitors covering almost every inch of the upper wall space.

We are supposed to monitor various network outputs and critical system pages on them. One is set for some as yet unused streaming channel called Popsugar, with a cooking show hosted by Brandi Milloy.


I am dumbfounded. I seriously hope that this isn't the future of cooking shows for the younger generations.

I just watched her segment on how to make cross slits in a hot dog before boiling it, then how to put it in a bun with toppings like onions and sauerkraut!

I am worried my son will meet someone like this.




Cross slits?

Well, you could be watching FOXnews on 10 75-inch screens. Actually, my mom would do that for free. :glare:

As for getting paid for bad videos, how is Popsugar different than YouTube? :huh:

You really need to come here to see what this is like.

A Clockwork Orange is child's play compared to this.

And thankfully, Beto lost...
 
3 weeks post op right knee replacement surgery. Today is the 2nd time I've driven. Just got home from the gym just did 4 light upper body weight machines & rode the nustep for an hour
 
Prepped and processed my first turkey. Bought a cheap 14 pound turkey ($0.69/Lb), cut it up/deboned it and saved the boneless breasts and thighs for future meals. Then I roasted the remaining parts and bones for turkey stock. Made the stock yesterday, froze it in quart ziplocks for Thanksgiving dinner and maybe a pot or two of soup.
