vasculogenic impotence
Summary: Impotence caused by a diminution of blood flow to the penis. Arteries involved can be the terminal aorta, hypogastric, pudendal, penile, and cavernous arteries. Ectopic drainage of the corpora cavernosa via large superficial dorsal veins or abnormally large cavernous and crural veins can cause venogenic impotence. (From Walsh, et al., Campbell's Urology, 6th ed, p720). The expression "venous leakage" is seen often in international literature. Leakage refers to the failure of the blood to reach the penile erectile tissues.

Rihanna, Keri Hilson, Pharrell, & Solange Attend 5th Annual DKMS Gala
A ravishing Rihanna graced the red carpet in a sweeping black gown at the 5th Annual DKMS Gala at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City on Thursday (April 28). The red-haired siren was presented with an award in recognition of her commitment to the fight against leukemia.
"Anyone can be affected by leukemia," said RiRi in a statement. "It is the number one disease children in the U.S. die of and we can change that. I encourage people to become bone marrow donors with DKMS. If we have more donors, we can save more lives."
Some of her superstar peers also pitched in for the good cause. Pharrell emceed the black-tie event, Solange lent her DJ skills, and Mary J. Blige provided the evening's entertainment. Other guests included Keri Hilson, Eva Mendes, David Bowie, and wife Iman. All proceeds raised will go directly to registering life-saving bone marrow donors.

of Barrow Street Ale House - New York, NY
Complete the form below to tell us about the problematic review for Barrow Street Ale House, which says:
"Here's the deal. Barrow Street has some things going for it. It's affordable, has a pretty decent selection of beers, and good bar food. However, no one can get past the fact that the owner makes this place miserable. He's that bad. Don't even bother going. Although it pains me because the place is really cheap by New York standards and the food is really good. I would rather they raise the prices and so the owner can afford a much needed attitude adjustment."

© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
ALBANY -- Jayme Gilbert didn't hit shot from the floor until there was 5:05 left in the game. But once she got started there was no stopping her -- or Americus-Sumter, which set up a showdown date with Westover on Friday for first place in Region 1-AAA by beating Dougherty, 59-43, on Tuesday at the Albany Civic Center.
Americus-Sumter (18-4 overall, 9-2 in 1-AAA) had to win to have a chance at the top seed in the region, and it looked for a while that Dougherty might pull off the upset. The Lady Trojans (14-, 6-5) went into the fourth quarter leading, 33-29, and were sparked in the fourth by Shawntel Byrd, who made back-to-back steals to lead a pair of fast breaks that lifted Dougherty to 38-31 lead.
Then came Gilbert, the Herald Super 6er who simply took over in the second half.
She couldn't find the basket all day and had a total of just four points, thanks to hitting 4 of 8 free throws in the first half. But with 5:05 left, Gilbert busted a 3 and the dam busted for Americus-Sumter, which ran off a 28-5 run to end the game.
"Once she made that 3 it fired everyone up,'' Americus-Sumter coach Evelyn Wright said. "We were playing kind of sluggish in the first half. I'm glad they finally got it together.''
Wright said her team's problem was the size of the Civic Center -- they were playing there for the first time this year -- and the NBA 3-point line.
"Jayme was shooting from the (NBA) line in the first half,'' she said. "Once she got her shot, she nailed it.''
Gilbert said she just needed to relax and compose herself after the early struggles.
"They took me out of my game,'' Gilbert said. "(Byrd) was on me and I just couldn't get the ball. I was starting to get mad, but then I sat down and gathered myself (in the fourth quarter). I knew what had to be done, and I did it. We did it."
Gilbert ignited the rally with a personal 7-0 run in the fourth quarter, and then hit Diamond Denmark on a break to give the Lady Panthers their first lead of the second half.
Gilbert poured in 16 fourth-quarter points to finish with 20.
Once I made (the first one) I said: 'Oh, I got it now,' '' Gilbert said. "I said, 'This is a wrap. They're not coming back this time.' "
Adasjah Mercer scored 10 and Kayla Barnes and Ashley Howard scored nine each for the Lady Panthers, who are ranked No. 2 in The Herald, right behind Westover.
"Everything just went downhill,'' Dougherty coach Charlene Jackson said. "I'm still at a loss for words to what happened. We did so many things well for most of the game, and then we kind of slipped. You can't slip against a player like Jayme Gilbert and a team like Americus.''
Dougherty could have forced an issue for second place in 1-AAA with a win. The Lady Trojans played well despite not having Jayla Hooper, who was out with an injury. Terrianna Martin had a huge game, scoring 16 points and grabbing 15 rebounds, and Byrd had six steals and six assists. Jasmine Lavant had 10 points, nine rebounds and a blocked shot.
Still, this one got away from Dougherty, which killed itself at the free throw line, where the Lady Trojans made just 13 of 39. Americus-Sumter went 22 of 34 from the line.
Dougherty, ranked No. 4 by The Herald, now must beat Worth on Friday to nail down the No. 3 seed in next week's Region 1-AAA tournament, and the top two seeds will be decided Friday night at Westover when Herald No. 1 and No. 2 meet. Dougherty will be a factor next week with or without Hooper.
"At this point in the season, you need all your players playing,'' Jackson said.

I want to give a sincere thank you to the Northwest Indiana Food Bank and local organizations for a great job at feeding those in need. We all need to be aware of those who are needing a helping hand, and no child should go to bed hungry. Please donate. Let's rid Northwest Indiana of hunger once and for all.
Someone wrote about a rumor that "Occupy" and other leftists were targeted by the IRS. I'm not sure that's true but the point is the IRS should not target anybody for their politics. Can't you see that? And no, the last thing we need is to "move on." People need to go to jail.
Jump ahead 10 years into the future
to read a Post Tribune headline: "Gary officials announced today they are optimistic that the long-awaited runway expansion should be completed within 12 to 18 months." Will it ever be completed?
The picture of the tearful dalmation mourning the lost firefighters on Wednesday's Opinion page made me cry. Such a loss.
So the unpopular part of the Affordable Health Care Act requiring companies to offer coverage has been delayed until 2015. You know, after 2014 elections. Wanna try to sell me on that "Hope and Change" again?
Once again the government has been successful in diverting attention from real issues like unemployment, government spying on its citizens and fiscal disaster by pushing nonissues like gay rights, abortion and immigration reform. The taxpayers have been fooled once again.
You are dead-on regarding not needing to pull over for an opposing funeral procession. When drivers do that, I just drive around them. You are not "showing respect," you are obstructing traffic.

Why Judges Must Be Accountable To The People
July 8, 2008
"In the past, we've voiced reluctance about the prospect of adopting judicial elections…" says a blistering editorial in the Topeka, Kansas Capital-Journal, but "perhaps the time has come to discuss judicial elections."
The Capital-Journal's volte-face was inspired by a decision recently handed down by Shawnee County District Judge Matthew Dowd, who sentenced a man who pleaded guilty to having sex with a 6- and a 7-year-old child to three years probation. Under Kansas sentencing guidelines, he should have spent the rest of his life in prison.
According to the Capital-Journal, letting vicious, vile sex offenders walk free is routine practice for Judge Dowd. Last month, he reduced the sentence of a man who savagely raped a 5-year-old child. Last year, Judge Dowd gave three years probation to a man "convicted by a jury of 17 felony counts of raping and sodomizing a 14-year-old girl," rather than the 13 years allowed under Kansas sentencing guidelines. And instead of the 12-year prison term due a man convicted for soliciting sex over the Internet with who he thought was a 13-year-old girl, Judge Dowd granted probation.
The Capital-Journal rightly called Judge Dowd's latest outrage "an apparent act of defiance from a judge who has all too frequently thumbed his nose at the community…" Sentencing guidelines, after all, are not just arbitrary numbers; they are meant to reflect the collective will of the people regarding the seriousness of a crime and the punishment required for justice to be done.
Judge Dowd's actions represent an all too familiar practice on many of today's courts: judges who substitute their own personal ideologies for the rule of the law. The authors of many state constitutions created a check for this type of judicial abuse by making judges accountable to the people through contested democratic elections.
Jeffrey Alderman of the Kansas Bar Association lamely counters that Judge Dowd actually was elected – back in 1976. But, as he knows, Shawnee County dumped democratic elections a year later – with the full support of the Kansas Bar Association – and replaced them with a system where judges are selected in secret. The system of secret selection supported by the Kansas Bar Association insulates judges like Matthew Dowd from the people they serve and ensures that they can remain on the bench as long as they desire. If Judge Dowd was forced to stand for re-election against an actual opponent, is there any doubt that the people of Shawnee County would know what to do?
The Capital-Journal labeled Judge Dowd's latest decision "shocking, unacceptable, disgusting." They're right – but it's also Exhibit A in the case for restoring judicial accountability in Kansas through democratic elections.

the little house in the city
Monday, May 18, 2009
The other day I made it over to the new neighborhood shop, Dossier. (I wrote about Dossier in
a post
a few weeks back.) The shop has a very odd mix of things for sale, most of which I wasn't particularly interested in purchasing, but I was thrilled to discover that these three wooden eggs were a mere $10 for the set. Definitely worth stopping in for a look if you are in the neighborhood.

It's always been possible to descope work in the Scrum for Team System template. But the method employed in Version 2.2 whilst functional, was quite fiddly, overly manual and not very "Scrummy".
When building 3.0 we took the opportunity to revamp the way in which it worked and better utilise the power of the Event Service (something you can see throughout the template).
Deliberately descoping work mid-Sprint is a very useful practice for Scrum Teams, especially when they first start out on a project, so we felt it was important to make this feel easier and more natural to do.
The headline change is that you now descope Product Backlog Items (PBI) rather than defer individual Sprint Tasks as was previously the case. The second major change is that we've made it much easier to rescope work.
Descoping PBI's is a more natural flow for a Scrum team – and more accurately models what should be happening at a project level. Remember that good Scrum teams will always descope work well ahead of Sprint Review, descoping (or rather dropping) work the day before Sprint Review is missing the point entirely.
Some time during the Sprint, the Scrum Team comes to the realisation that they're "not going to make it" – there could be any number of reasons for this, one or more team members could have fallen ill (Bill for example), some of the estimates may have turned out to be severely incorrect or there may simply be some other impediment which cannot be resolved in time to allow the team to deliver on its previously committed Sprint goal.
The fact that "we're not going to make it" should be clear from looking at the Sprint Burn Down chart (remember that the Sprint Burn down is for the team to use to track their own progress). Once the team discovers this fact, the next step is to inform the Product Owner (if they don't already know) – and to have a discussion about what can be delivered in this Sprint. (Given what we now know)
The discussion of what can be delivered this Sprint will however almost invariably lead to a discovery of previously committed-to work that can no longer be delivered this Sprint. This is the work that we need to descope. So how do we do it?
Ideally you've been limiting your Work In Progress and working in priority order down your Sprint Backlog. If this is the case then it's more than likely that the stuff the PO agrees that you no longer need deliver this Sprint (because it's a lower priority), hasn't been started (because you've been limiting WIP) – see how all this stuff fits together?
In this case, fire up Visual Studio 2010 and bask in its glory; then go to Team Explorer and find the Product Backlog Item(s) that you are wanting to descope and set their status from "Not Started" to "Descoped" – and then save them straight away.
Saving the work item will kick off our Event Service which will then set the status of all the linked and "Not Started" Sprint Backlog Tasks to "Descoped" as well.
Sprint Tasks that are set to "descoped" don't count against your work remaining for the sprint – and thus allow you to see whether your descoping effort is going to mean you'll be able to deliver on your new commitment. Those PBI's and SBT's are still attached to the same point in your Planning Scope, but they no longer count against work remaining in any of the reports.
So this is one of the reasons we leave the Iteration Path / Planning Scope alone. You want to keep that PBI in your Sprint Backlog, because it represents part of your original commitment. That's important data to take into your Sprint Review and Retrospective to help you improve your estimation and relationship with the business. The point of descoping PBI's is not to hide the work. It's for no other reason than to mark the PBI as something that's not part of the "new commitment" (but was part of the old one) – and more importantly, by association to take the planned Sprint Tasks out of the work remaining in the burn down.
Never forget that the goal of Scrum is transparency, it's not about making events look bad or good, it's about representing them as they truly are.
If it all starts to "come together again" and you realise as a team that you "descoped prematurely" – then there is no problem. You can simply rescope the PBI by changing its status from "Descoped" to "Not Started" and once again our friend the Event Service will do the honours for the linked Sprint Tasks, setting them all back to "Not Started" as well. Make sure however, that you actually finish all the PBI's that were not descoped first. All the way to Done.
Don't rescope PBI's because you "feel" that you might be able to do them after all. Finish the other PBI's first, then rescope (and then send me a postcard)
This is basically the same procedure that you'd follow in the far more likely case that the PBI stays out of scope for the entire sprint. In this case highlight at Sprint Review the items committed to, and those completed and briefly and objectively discuss the descope moment and the reasons for it. It's likely that you'll want to spend a good chunk of your Retrospective on the reasons behind why descoping was necessary.
Our recommendation is to leave the Planning Scope of the PBI alone until after Sprint Review. After Sprint Review, push the PBI "up" the Planning Scope, typically to the Work Stream or Release Level, and then set it back to "Not Started", effectively putting it back in the Backlog for reprioritisation and scheduling by the Product Owner (the fact that it was once planned and then descoped is stored in the history). If you're the ScrumMaster, resist the temptation to simply roll it over to the next Sprint. That's not your call.
When you do allocate it back down to Team in the Planning Scope; all the previously planned Sprint Backlog Tasks will come with it, again thanks to our friend the Event Service.
If you forget to rescope PBI's they can sometime get lost – which is why we have added a "Descoped PBI's" WIQL query, so that you can keep your project in order and not lose work "through the cracks". Check it on occasion.
In some cases you'll need to descope a PBI that you've already started. In this case you'll likely have a "spread" of Sprint Tasks, some of which are "Not Started", some of which are "In Progress" and some of which are "Done".
Obviously the Tasks which are "Done" – don't really matter. We've done these and we can never get that time back. The Event Service simply leaves these tasks alone. Similar deal with the "Not Started" work. We've agree with our PO that we're not going to deliver this PBI this Sprint, so the Event Service assumes that all these tasks will also be descoped and sets their status accordingly.
That leaves the "In Progress" work. The Event Service will just leave this alone; this means that these Tasks will stay "In Progress" even though the PBI itself has been descoped. This "In Progress" work will still count against your work remaining target in your Sprint Burn Down chart until you either finish the tasks, or descope each of them manually.
Remember however that when the PBI is rescoped, all the descoped tasks will go back to "Not Started" – regardless of what state they "came" from.

I really like what you've done with the new template, I'm looking forward to introducing it to our teams when we start using 2010. Good job!
This posts relates to the Scrum for Team System version 3 process template and Team Foundation Server
Regarding "half started PBI's", what do you recommend to move a PBI from Sprint 1 to Sprint 2 if it was not fully completed in Sprint 1? If you just re-assign the PBI to Sprint 2, all of the completed hours will come along with it distorting both Sprint's actual worked hours.
Also, what would you do with a half started PBI if the Product Owner decides to deprioritize the PBI so that it will not be worked on in Sprint 2? We'd want the PBI to go back on the Product Backlog for potential future prioritization, but we'd still want to leave the worked hours applied to the Sprint part of the PBI was implemented in.
Hi Brian,
When you change the Iteration Path of a parent PBI, the completed hours are never moved forward - nor are the completed Sprint Tasks. This is true for both Version 2 and Version 3 of the template (precisely for the reason you have mentioned) - only undone SBT's are moved forward.
This same is true if you put the PBI back on the backlog by moving it to the release or workstream level (or in fact move the PBI several sprints forward).
The work done in the Sprint is left in the Sprint. Only undone work is carried forward.
So both of the scenarios you have mentioned are catered for and "do the right thing"
Kind Regards,
A recent question in the Scrum for Team System Q & A site has highlighted that there is a lack of

One Controversial Critic's Top Five Oscar Nomination Snubs
Boston Globe critic Wesley Morris didn't think 2008 was a particularly great year for American film, but he doesn't think the Academy quite nailed the greatest performances either when it announced the contenders on Thursday. Colin Farrell, anyone?
By Charly Wilder
Best Picture, Tropic Thunder
"I think people are afraid of taking comedy seriously, because it's comedy. It's like if you do take it seriously, you're somehow not on the pulse of how the world works. But most people I know spend a lot of time laughing. That's the Academy, though: They can't laugh. They certainly can't laugh at themselves. I mean, look who they've gotten to host: Hugh Jackman. Nice guy, but he's not going to give anyone a hard time."
Elisabetta A. Villa/WireImage.com
Steven Soderbergh, Best Director, Che
"There are about 70 ways to make that movie. Soderbergh found the one that is least characteristic of him as a director. He found the one that gets into ideas about Che Guevara, instead of regurgitating what we've been led to believe about him. It's an honest movie. And it's not just a biopic. It's a film about how and why a revolution takes place. Milk was about big ideas too, but I think it was about a time and a place that particularly resonated with people living in California, like most of the Academy."
Jeff Vespa/Contour by Getty
Colin Farrell, Best Actor, Cassandra's Dream
"The best performance by a guy I saw last year besides Sean Penns was Collin Farrell in Cassandra's Dream, that Woody Allen film no one has seen. It's rare that an actor finds something new in himself. It helps that he doesn't have to fake an accent to the extent he usually does in American films. That allows him to concentrate on building a character in a different way. It is so interesting to watch him. He has emotional depth. He's not a cipher."
Maury Phillips/Wireimage.com
Michael Sheen, Best Supporting Actor, Frost/Nixon
"I actually found Michael Sheen's performance much more interesting than Frank Langella's. He had a harder thing to do, actually, which was to stand there and watch someone steal scenes from him. Yet he captured David Frost in an original way.... The Best Picture nomination, on the other hand, completely baffles me. The movie itself is kind of a nonentity to me. Intellectually, it's completely benign. It's very nice, the acting is good, but the film is like coffee-table furniture."
Jon Furniss/WireImage.com
Rosemary Dewitt, Best Supporting Actress, Rachel Getting Married
"Her performance was actually much better than Anne Hathaway's. It's surprising that anyone could come away from that movie and not see that Dewitt's performance was superior. It's completely natural, in the style of the film itself. Shes much more in tune with that than anyone else in the cast."

Pain assessment: do you believe your pt when...
- 0Nov 11, '11 by WeepingAngelSo I have a question:
A patient of mine (who was a nurse) told me that if the patient is sleeping, then they are not in pain.
Since I am a new nurse, I a little gun-shy with pain meds (I work nights on an Orthopedic unit). Do you believe a patient who says that they are in 8, 9, 10 out of 10 pain when they were sound asleep five minutes ago?
I try to incorporate the whole picture, such as, are they showing any other signs like grimacing, moaning, grabbing their incision? What was the last time they were medicated? Do they have a high tolerance for pain? Were they taking a lot of pain meds at home and thus have a high tolerance for opioids? And so on.
Let me know what you think... I am scared to death of overmedicating a patient!! I had a scary experience with someone who was taking a LOT of Dilaudid and now I am really nervous.
- 19Nov 11, '11 by MunoRNIt's been well established that patients can sleep even with extreme pain. I've experienced it myself, and it's hard to describe but it's not really true sleep, even though it may appear like it.
If you're only medicating when a patient's pain gets to the level of moaning and grabbing their incision then you've failed at providing proper pain control. The policy where I work is to provide post-op patient with prn pain meds as though they were scheduled for the first 48 hours, unless contraindicated based on assessment. In California, attempting to provide prn's as though they were scheduled for the first 24-48 hours is actually the law.
By following the basic principles of pain management you can avoid oversedation but still provide adequate pain control. Adequate pain control not only improves patient comfort, but improves patient outcomes and decreases cumulative opioid use.
- 9Nov 11, '11 by woohI'm not sure about the prns as though they were scheduled being "the law" but I also tend to give prns almost as if they were scheduled for about the first 24 hours post op. Around 18-24 hours I try to transition to PO as if it was scheduled with the IV stuff available for breakthrough (and I like to overlap my last "planned" IV dose with the first PO so that there's not break waiting for the PO to kick in.) Having had a few surgeries, it sucks to wake up when you don't have anything in your system. It's harder to get pain down than to keep it down. If their vitals are stable, it's pretty tough to overdose someone with the standard post-op pain meds. Think of it this way, if I just chopped into your body, twisting and banging on the bones, would you want your last pain med to have been given 8 hours ago?
Know where the oxygen is, know where the narcan is, and know that you're not going to need them all that often because oversedating is harder than standard new grad fears would make it seem.
- 16Nov 11, '11 by Always_LearningIf pain is managed well before it becomes excruciating, you will actually end up using less medication. I enjoy teaching this to patients, because it never ceases to amaze me how many people try to "hold off" until they are writhing in pain because they don't want to overuse narcotics or become dependent. I also explain that we are not giving them meds any more often than the doctor has ordered, and that it is important for their healing that they are able to rest. Sometimes they get a look of relief when you tell them that "toughing it out" is not really the best option.Last edit by Always_Learning on Nov 11, '11
- 0Nov 11, '11 by MunoRNYou're not required to give prn's as scheduled since it's up to the Nurse to assess for contraindications (such as oversedation), but as the BON's administrative code (which defines how the law is enforced) states they "should" be given "or at least offered."
- 9Nov 11, '11 by xtxrnORTHO patients hurt- a LOT. Bone pain is its own animal. And it's mean.
Neurological pain is also horrendous.
But, bottom line, it's not your job to believe them- it's your job to medicate them per their orders. Chronic pain patients LIVE with constant pain- it's their "normal", so that nifty little 1-10 scale is a joke. And their vital signs will be normal, since they've compensated.
Pain shouldn't get to a 10 while inpatient, unless maintenance drops a boiler on their legs. Anticipate regular pain meds post-op for at least 24 hours- depending on the type of surgery, other problems, and opiate tolerance. Someone can be tolerant of opiates, and not be addicted.
Do NOT worry about addiction with a post-op patient. In the time you have to deal with them (a few days) they physiologically can not become addicted. Give them the drugs.
Think about some time you had horrible pain- and what if someone kept relief from you.... it is cruelty to do that.
But, I applaud you for asking for opinions about this. Just remember- pain is what the patient says.... I've had someone tell me their pain was a "20" (out of 10) then go romping down the hall to get coffee. She had "real" physical problems. I called and got a "booster" dose of narcs. She got the dose, fell asleep, and woke up feeling better.
Sometimes WE teach patients to be more dramatic to emphasize what they say, when what they say should be enough when they have a busted up body, or lab work/tests that verify some physiological disorders.
- 13Nov 11, '11 by ~*Stargazer*~First remember that there are distinctive differences between acute pain and chronic pain, and that a history of chronic pain can complicate the management of acute pain.
For a person experiencing acute pain, I would not expect them to be able to sleep with a pain level of 8, 9, or 10. By definition, that is extreme pain that prevents normal functioning. A 10/10 acute pain would be like having your arm ripped off or being mauled by a bear or being submerged in boiling oil. It's the worst possible pain there can be. It's so severe that you actually pass out. I have seen very few people in 10/10 pain, but the ones I have seen, I will never forget. These are people with blood pressures of 285/150 while grimacing and bucking the tube on astronomically high doses of Propofol, needing liberal and frequent doses of Fentanyl. I have seen 10/10 acute pain, and when someone (without a history of chronic pain) is sitting there texting on their cell phone and smiling, telling me their pain is 12/10, forgive me if I have a hard time believing that.
With chronic pain, the body adapts to being in pain over time; there are actual changes to the brain and nervous system that occur, where the person can be at a very high level of pain, but their vitals are WNL and their behavior does not "look painful". What also can happen is that the person A) Develops a tolerance to opiates, requiring larger and larger doses, over time, to achieve the same effect, and B) Develops an extreme sensitivity to pain, where things that might not seem very painful in ordinary circumstances, can be excruciating to the person.
When the person with chronic pain experiences acute pain, the acute pain might be more intense for them that it would be for the person without a history of chronic pain. Also, they may have developed a high tolerance for opiates, so much so, that you could give them enough Dilaudid to kill an elephant, and they're still going to be hurting. They might not "look" painful, because they're always painful. Their VS might be WNL, because they have adapted physiologically.
So, as a general statement, the idea that a sleeping person is not experiencing pain is false. While it may be true for the person experiencing acute pain, the person who suffers from chronic pain has learned to sleep even when experiencing a high level of pain.
I think you are right to look at the whole picture and ask yourself some questions. Look at the patient's history, what they normally take for pain, and talk to them.
Whenever I'm confronted with someone who's experiencing acute on chronic pain and has been on opiates forever and a day, I just level with them. I tell them that I will do my best to get them more comfortable, but that their safety is my primary concern. I tell them "I don't want you to be in pain, but I don't want to kill you, either.". I will give what medications I can safely give, because I don't want them to hurt, but most likely, we're not going to get them pain free; and generally, chronic pain sufferers don't expect to be pain free, ever. I find out what level they are currently at, and ask them what level they would like to be at. If they live at a 6 but they're currently at an 8, I'll try to get them to a 6, but they might have to settle for a 7. I show them that I am involved and invested in their pain control, but that their safety is just as important to me, and that we need to be realistic in our thinking about what we can achieve. Most people who live with chronic pain are very receptive to this, and appreciate my concern for both their pain control AND their safety.
I can have the same kind of conversation with the person experiencing acute pain, but the concept that they will probably not be at a "0" any time soon is not usually a concept they've thought of. Often, the person experiencing acute pain has a belief that being pain free is a reasonable goal, when it is often not. So that's where the conversation usually starts, with clearing up that misconception. Then we go from there and work together to set a goal that seems achievable, and at which they can function and participate in their recovery.
- 2Nov 11, '11 by anotheronethe whole signs of pain stuff always got to me. because when in extreme pain i don't moan and groan or grab my ankles or flop around in the bed........ frankly, i can't stand it when patients are undermedicated for pain, yelling and screaming at me for more pain meds and the md doesn't want to order more or explain the rationale (esp to the patient) for not doing so(some times there is one).
- 2Nov 11, '11 by ~*Stargazer*~Quote from woohThat's a good point and very good advice, but don't dismiss the possibility. I've seen respiratory arrests r/t pain meds given *as ordered*. And on noc shift, it's harder to assess for oversedation because patients generally sleep at night, and some sleep pretty hard, hence the rationale for keeping fresh postops on continuous pulse ox overnight.Know where the oxygen is, know where the narcan is, and know that you're not going to need them all that often because oversedating is harder than standard new grad fears would make it seem.
