I found this woman on Twitter (I should say she found me). Anyway, she has GREAT resources, links and advice- http://twitter.com/ElderCareRN

Something she said today is to avoid taking elders to ERs because there is little geriatric rotation that goes on with the docs. She actually said she avoids ERs herself in July! Good advice.

Hope you count your blessings on this 4th- What a country! Those of us who are emersed in the healthcare industry know the whole topic is filled with opinions, heartbreak, frustration and questions. But on this day it strikes me how fortunate we are that we can have all of our differing views on what to do- we can voice them- we can debate them openly- we can work to elect those we approve of- it ain't perfect- but my mom used to say that democracy is like sex because when it's good it's real good and when it's bad it's still pretty good. What a country. Happy Indepence Day.
