@peemee there is no evidence that shows a clear difference in infection (insertion site or bloodstream), blood clots, etc between IVs changed routinely or symptom-based (pain at the site or does not flush). We don’t routinely change them at my hospital.
@peemee that sounds like a helluva ordeal - sorry to hear that! Interestingly, routine peripheral IV catheter replacement is a hospital policy, not strictly an evidence-based intervention.
@33MHz Hakushu. I thought about Nikka Yoichi and Sapporo (beer) but all are only in Japanese. I don’t think I understand enough to sit through three tours I barely understand.
Great read [nytimes.com] about the author of "There, There" visiting a high school in the Bronx. "There, There" is a great novel and I recommend it to anyone looking for something to read.
@sszk annoying for travelers but makes sense. When traveling on a train, are there specific preparations if I need to bring a checked bag? I know about the importance of seat reservations.
My #ThemeMonday submission is of Goryokaku, a fort in northern Japan, during the cherry blossom season. I plan to visit the fort when I go to Japan this year. #CherryBlossomMonday@ThemeMonday
