On my old ICU job it was all paper charting. You could still mess it up but it was a brain fart not dyslexic fingers. (Love that phrase, BTW!)

Rebound always comes out "reboudn." And skin frequently ends up as sin. As in, "Sin is warm, pink, and moist." It's a form of finger dyslexia that causes some similar fears for employment. <BR/><BR/>However, my fear lessens ad I hear what last month's college grad dictated on Week 2 of internship. "BP 125/70, temp 36.2, pulse present." Whew. What a relief for that sore throat patient.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784078775130185200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407016858777887859.post-76748201428698443372007-08-20T15:36:00.000-06:002007-08-20T15:36:00.000-06:00mr.c.-i LOVE project runway...i'm definitely gonna...mr.c.-i LOVE project runway...i'm definitely gonna have to check that out. <BR/><BR/>jo-i go over to scots blog the rantings of a looney and he uses pmsl (peeing on myself laughing) lol<BR/><BR/>fanny as a word for your cootie root, coochie, vagina or whatever is not right either. lol<BR/><BR/>and i think dad's got the whole 'slang' thing down, don't u? lmaoPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365631315923740004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407016858777887859.post-59703774438658455872007-08-20T14:29:00.000-06:002007-08-20T14:29:00.000-06:00Tee hee!
