Went to the mall today and bought a new MAC compact. MAC is one of my favorite cruelty free makeup brands.

uh, except that MAC DOES test on animals and isn’t cruelty-free.

What Dr. Cranquis thinks about Nurses

What Dr. Cranquis thinks about Nurses:

(A re-post of a question & answer, to allow for reblogging at nikitaanneli’s request)

Nurses, you ask? What do I think about NURSES?

Nurses and their constant dedicated service make me want to break into song (although it would probably be some yowling country tune about “You do the things I need, and I need the things you do.”)

The best piece of advice I received before starting my clinical years of med school was: “Be nice to the nurses, and they will be nice to you.” It has helped me many times. [Med school and beyond!]

Nurses are the backbone, hands, shoulders, feet, eyes, ears, heart, and liver of any successful medical facility or practice. A good nurse will also be the cerebellum and temporo-parietal lobes of the brain, allowing the doctor to focus on the hippocampal and frontal-lobe stuff.

Nurses don’t get no respect (or rather, not ENOUGH respect) for the jobs they do. Once a year at my clinic, the administrators throw a “Nurse’s Day” party — I think there should be one of those parties every 3 days or so.

Does that answer your question? ;)

Happy Nurses’ Week to all the fantabulazing nurses in the worrrrrrld!

Matt busted out into the art scene with his smeared sky photos. Stacking 100 to 200 photos into one, he gave a new way to enjoy the view above us.

Doctor Grumpy in the House: Nurses:

mynotes4usmle:

Every med student on Tumblr needs to read this blog post. It’s spot on, golden advice for your future work relationships ( ;

I remember my Internal Medicine rotation as the best I had! Not only bc is my favorite, but bc the team work was amazing.

We, interns and nurses were one, we helped each other, and our pts were alway our n°1 priority. Nurses are always gonna have your back, -I know so, cause i’ve been raised by one- and if you don’t listen to them my friend, you are screwed!

Everytime I’m gonna check a pt, my beautiful mom always reminds me certain things. For example, if my pt is with diarrhea, she always says “don’t forget to check if his/her pulse is consistent with his/her T°” (to rule out typhoid fever, since is very common here in Peru).

This post is amazing guys! (= And every single word written here is TRUE. Nurses rock!!!

nurses FUCKING rock.

"The fact that you’re struggling doesn’t make you a burden. It doesn’t make you unlovable or..."

Fri, 26 Apr 2013 11:09:48 -0400

“The fact that you’re struggling doesn’t make you a burden. It doesn’t make you unlovable or undesirable or undeserving of care. It doesn’t make you too much or too sensitive or too needy. It makes you human. Everyone struggles. Everyone has a difficult time coping, and at times, we all fall apart. During these times, we aren’t always easy to be around and that’s okay. No one is easy to be around one hundred percent of the time. Yes, you may sometimes be unpleasant or difficult. And yes, you may sometimes do or say things that make the people around you feel helpless or sad. But those things aren’t all of who you are and they certainly don’t discount your worth as a human being. The truth is that you can be struggling and still be loved. You can be difficult and still be cared for. You can be less than perfect, and still be deserving of compassion and kindness.”

headandstomachaches:

Separation of a cow and her calf. This is a clip from a French documentary about the realities behind farmed animals. Watch as the mother cow chases down the van kidnapping her calf. It’s one of the most heart-breaking things I’ve ever witnessed. And she must endure this over and over and over and over again until she’s slaughtered for meat.

just spent $100 on vegan sanita clogs (dansko-style) for work. here’s hoping the european size 42 fits my american size 12 feet. i also spent $22 on a purple BP cuff and matching case from amazon.com, and $12 on a pair of compression socks, also from amazon.com. yesterday i purchased a $50 portable pulse oximeter from cvs, but got $10 back in extrabucks.

so, my job is making me poor. i also need new scrubs, but don’t want to buy any until i lose weight. womp womp.
