The beauty of anonymity also allows SameOldDistortion to proffer his/her lack of understanding of medical ethics, without accountability. I suggest they review the Hippocratic Oath.

“Suzie RN – thinking the FDA is going to help is quite a stretch. They can’t seem to keep the peanut butter safe, prevent raw sewage from showing up on you salad or keeping unsafe drugs off the market.”

Sheer fallacy. FDA actions, while far from perfect, have led to many unsafe medications and medical devices being pulled, for example by FDA official David Graham.

Sen. Grassley has acted to improve the FDA, e.g., March 2009:

… Senator Charles Grassley asked the Acting Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration to clarify the Agency’s position on the rights of employees to communicate with Congress and the Inspector General. Grassley was responding to a memo issued last week that warned FDA employees about releasing information. In the letter, Grassley stated, ““Federal laws protect whistleblowers and allow people who work in the federal bureaucracy to discuss what’s happening inside an agency with other officials.

SameOldDistortion Also Says:

“You’re clearly on a mission, must have been abused as a healthcare worker, and are actively retaliating for something. The beauty of being anonymous to allow you to hide your history.”

The beauty of anonymity also allows SameOldDistortion to hide his/her lack of understanding of medical ethics. I suggest they review the Hippocratic Oath.

The nurses will of course. Why upset the balance?

Seriously though, Nursing Informatics is a mature and recognized body of knowledge, so it makes sense to have all nursing students get exposure to EMR right from the start like this. Contemporary technology makes it simple to connect remotely, so why not?

Cleveland Clinic Nursing should be commended for being progressive and keeping their nurses from ever being labeled as laggards.

It never ceases to amaze me how ignorant self proclaimed intellectuals can be. The purpose of my post was to make a point, not invite meaningless banter.

So far, it is still a free country and citizens have the right to express their feelings i.e. tea parties, protests, via whatever means legal.

Unfortunately, this is a Right the left hates.

One of the main problems with this whole HC reform thing is that too many limp wristed liberals actually think this is all about HC reform.

Anytime someone with a spine speaks up…they are labled and accused of ‘unconstructive’ or ‘inflamatory’ remarks.

Buck up bra!
