sleep deprivation

slept from 4pm to now (9:30AM) and i don't think i've ever felt so rested.
mind you.. its probably because i haven't slept in my bed in the past 3 days
waiting at the emergency for 7 hours is not that comfortable either.
but having ug there to discuss how crappy the canadian health care system is was quite fun

photos from the broken toe..

basically.. i'm too short
so i jumped to put my jacket on the coat rack.
landed on a dumbbell...
turns out i broke my distal phalynx of the fourth toe right above the IP joint.. which makes flexion and extension quite difficult..

YES!
so ready for my anatomy final..
or not.

human rights?

Dementia: "A physically caused permanent or progressive decline in intellectual function that interferes with the patient's normal social or economic activity"

Issue: patients with dementia tend to wander and often get lost, which can sometimes be fatal or extremely dangerous.

Proposed solution: attach a GPS to dementia patients so that when they wander outside the house, they can be located.

Problem? 1) Invasion of privacy and against human rights 2) Caregivers will rely on the bracelets and won't give as good care to the patients



Sometimes these human rights issues get a little out of hand.
1. GPS bracelets are designed for the safety of the patient. I'm pretty sure that once the patient with dementia realizes he/she is lost, it's not going to be a matter of privacy, but more like SOMEONE PLEASE FIND ME.
2. If the "caregiver" had these thoughts, they're not worthy of being a caregiver in the first place

Thoughts?
