Hospital Blogging

Going to hospital in the USA is like going to a motel. A little card greets you on the end of the bed telling you how and when your room was cleaned. You get offered a beverage, and if you are the actual patient, you get a special branded souvenir mug with a straw. The main differences are the amount of machines in the room and also that room service is provided by RNs.

So, sitting here in the hospital with Rachel getting ready to have a baby, I am learning all kinds of medical jargon.The doctor that came in to check that baby was the right way up told us "yup, he's noggin down". Rachel (poor dear) always has trouble giving blood samples, which makes her a 'hard stick". In order to facilitate a better blood draw, her arms were wrapped in warm blankets. Which was ok, until the nurse came in and said "Lets give your arms a break". Well, I guess that if your arms are going to have a break, the hospital is the best place for that to happen!
