The present invention claims priority from U.S. application Ser. No. 60/525,396 filed Nov. 26, 2003 and entitled Integrated Suite of Medical Tools, the entirety of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The present disclosure is related to computer operated devices for controlling the ordering, dispensing, issuing and administration of medical items including drugs and supplies for patients.
There currently exists a number of devices that may be used in a healthcare setting for controlling the ordering, dispensing, and administration of medical items, including drugs and supplies, under the control of a computer. Performing such functions under the control of a computer allows data to be gathered that can be used for billing, reordering of stock as well as creating an audit trail. Such devices include, for example, imaging devices for inputting new prescriptions or new orders for patients into a central pharmacy system, computer controlled dispensing cabinets, hand held scanners that can be used for bedside administration of drugs, and open bins of supplies having a local computer into which information relating to the issuing of supplies for patients can be logged. Such devices can be purchased from a variety of vendors.
Some devices, such as the handheld bedside scanners, require a substantial investment in infrastructure which may create a barrier in the sales process. In U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/998,121 filed Nov. 30, 2001 and entitled Method Of Issuing Medical Supplies And Dispensing and Administering Medications Through A Hand-Held Device And System For Doing The Same, which is hereby incorporated by reference, the assignee of the present invention has proposed integrating into their handheld bedside scanner the ability to issue medical supplies from open bin storage shelving. However, the investment in such infrastructure is not currently being fully leveraged to provide advantages for other devices used by nurses such as the imaging devices and computer controlled cabinets.
From the user's point of view, integrating into one device the ability to dispense medications, issue supplies, and administer dispensed medications seems convenient, but the underlying infrastructure and rules applicable to each of these processes makes integration difficult. For example, medications are typically dispensed by a pharmacy. The pharmacy may be set up using a centralized dispensing model, decentralized dispensing model, or a combination of the two. In each of the three models, various combinations of automated (e.g. unit based dispensing cabinets), partially automated (e.g. carousels), or manual (e.g. open shelving) equipment may be used. As medications are dispensed, counts must be maintained to insure that the pharmacy does not run out of the needed medications. Counts may be maintained automatically in computer controlled devices, manually, or a combination of both. Provision must also be made to accommodate returned medications that have been dispensed for a patient but have not been administered, e.g. the patient has been discharged, prescription has been changed, etc.
The pharmacy must also be capable of interaction with other systems. For example, the pharmacy is responsible for communicating with insurance companies or clearing houses to determine if a patient's insurance allows for substitution and, if so, what are the allowable substitutes, as well as to determine what the patient's insurance will pay for. The pharmacy system must interface with the healthcare facility's billing system and systems for reordering medications.
As might be expected, the pharmacy is governed by various rules. For example, in all cases, except certain emergency situations, medications dispensed for a patient must be reviewed by a pharmacist. Rules may be in place that require each prescribed medication to be cross-checked for interactions with other medications ordered for the patient and to be checked against known patient allergies. The pharmacy may also be responsible for tracking the age and lot numbers of medications to insure that expired medications and recalled medications are quickly removed from the distribution chain. When one considers that a pharmacy must perform all these functions and follow all these rules for perhaps thousands or even tens of thousand of prescriptions a day, it is easy to understand that the operation of a pharmacy has become a complicated and specialized process.
In addition to dispensing drugs for administering to a patient, a nurse or other healthcare worker may also need to have supplies issued for a patient. Supplies are typically controlled by a materials management department within a healthcare facility. Supplies typically are not regulated as are medications and therefore materials management departments often do not need to follow the same strict rules that are applicable to pharmacies. Nevertheless, the materials management department must be able to keep track of current inventories to insure that all needed supplies are on hand. That can be a daunting task for several reasons. First, there may be thousands of items in inventory. For each item, that item may be available from various suppliers at different prices with each supplier using its own unique stock number. Also, supplies are often kept in open bins or shelving. When items are removed, it is up to the user to remember to document the items' removal. Often times, such documentation is not performed, and items can be low or out of stock without the materials management department learning of such situations until a manual count is performed. The materials management department must interact with the healthcare facility's billing system and supplier's systems for reordering supplies.
The nursing function is one way that the healthcare facility interacts with patients. Nurses dispense medications for patients, either from a centralized or decentralized pharmacy. Nurses also issue supplies for patients. It can be time consuming to dispense all the necessary medications and issue all the necessary supplies for each patient on the current round for that nurse as medications and supplies are not kept in the same storage locations, and both medications and supplies may not be where they are supposed to be located. Also the procedures for dispensing medications are different than the procedures for issuing supplies. For example, the procedure for dispensing a medication from a unit based cabinet is very different from the procedure for issuing a supply from open bins. Finally, the administering of medications to a patient is strictly governed by rules, whereas the delivery of supplies to a patient is not. The administration of medications must insure that the right patient, receives the right dose of the right drug, via the right route, at the right time. The administration process must also be documented to create an audit trial. Thus, in addition to tending to the needs of patients, a nurse must be aware of a variety of different dispensing and administering schemes for drugs as well as issuing and delivery schemes for supplies.
Nursing has identified certain problems in dispensing schemes utilizing computer controlled dispensing cabinets. One problem is nurses taking central pharmacy dispensed medications from a patient specific cassette for another patient that is assigned to another nurse. In such situations, medications cannot be found where they are expected to be. Another problem is that nurses waste time waiting in lines at computer controlled dispensing cabinets at peak times. It would save significant time if nurses could either get all their medications in one place or if they knew exactly where to go to get the medications they needed. Existing infrastructure could also be leveraged if additional functionality could be added to devices currently being used for other functions.
The present disclosure is directed to an integrated suite of tools for controlling the ordering, dispensing, issuing and administration of medical items including drugs and supplies for patients from a plurality of entry points into the system, e.g. handheld devices, mobile cart, etc. New workflows and functionality for various devices such as dispensing devices (automated dispensing cabinets) and issuing devices (e.g. open shelving) are also disclosed.
One embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to a system having an automated medication dispensing device. A computer located remotely of the automated dispensing device communicates with the dispensing device, or a database that maintains an inventory of items located within the dispensing device, and sends a queue of dispensing orders to the dispensing device. An authentication device confirms when the user is located proximate to the dispensing device. The dispensing device is responsive to the authentication device for performing the queued dispensing orders.
Another embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to a system having a medication dispensing system and a computer located remotely of the dispensing system for communicating with the medication dispensing system, or a database that maintains an inventory of items located within the dispensing system, to identify a location within the medication dispensing system where items to be dispensed are located.
Another embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to a method comprising: inputting logon information into a system via a remote computer; creating via the remote computer a list of medications to dispense; verifying that an authorized user is located proximate to a dispensing device; transmitting the list of medications to the dispensing device; and dispensing the medications on the list.
Another embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to a method comprising: inputting logon information into a system via a remote computer; maintaining in a database an inventory of items located within a dispensing device; communicating with the database via the remote computer to build a list of medications to be dispensed; verifying that an authorized user is located proximate to the dispensing device; transmitting the list of medications to the dispensing device; and dispensing the medications on the list.
Another embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to a method comprising: inputting logon information into a system via a remote computer; and identifying via the remote computer a location within a medication dispensing system where items to be dispensed are located.
Another embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to a method comprising: inputting logon information into a system via a remote computer; maintaining in a database an inventory of items located within a dispensing system; and communicating with the database via the remote computer to identify a location within the medication dispensing system where a medication to be dispensed is located.
For the present disclosure to be easily understood and readily practiced, the present disclosure will now be described, for purposes of illustration and not limitation, in conjunction with the following figures, wherein:
Vendors of handheld device 10 now offer CCD barcode scanners that support imaging. That will allow a nurse to use a handheld device to scan an image of a doctor's written prescription, or new order for a patient, and submit it for input to the pharmacy system as illustrated by the box 14. The equipment represented by box 14 could also be, for example, a MedDirect product available from McKesson Automation Inc.
With appropriate programming of handheld device 10, a nurse could walk into a supply storage area with handheld device 10 and scan a barcode that identifies a particular storage location. For example, if open shelving 16 is provided, the nurse could scan a barcode, such as barcode 18. The nurse could then use the handheld to begin scanning supply products to be issued for a chosen patient. Multiple nurses could work in an open supply area at the same time. Also, supply areas would not necessarily need a nurse workstation any longer, such as workstation 20. If workstation 20 is eliminated, the replenishment function may be added to the handheld device 10. Although the supply storage area illustrated in
In the upper left hand corner of
The handheld device 10 could be replaced by a computer on a mobile cart (not shown). Other computers, located remotely of the dispensing devices such as shelving 16 and cabinet 24, may be used to provide certain of the functionality illustrated in
By providing additional functionality, handheld devices 10 could become personal devices, assigned to and registered to a caregiver at the start of a shift. Alerts, messaging, and voice communications could then be added to the device.
Various dataflows and workflows will now be described for purposes of illustrating the disclosure. The concepts disclosed herein are not to be limited to the illustrated dataflows and workflows.
Turning now to
A replication function 46 may provide override orders from the local database 44 to the central database 42, as well as to insure that the information on the two databases is consistent.
Missing medication requests may be sent to automation equipment 38 such as the McKesson Robot-Rx automation device and the McKesson MedCarousel automation device from the central database 42.
The central database 42 is also in communication with a McKesson MedDirect order entry system 40 or other prescription input device and a printer (not shown) to create medication orders, missing medication notifications and override order notifications. The reader should understand that the dataflow illustrated in
After the patient is selected at 52, a due list is viewed at 54. The due list indicates all of the medications which that healthcare worker is to administer in the next medical administration round (MAR). Thereafter, an inquiry 56 determines whether Connect-Rn is enabled. Connect-Rn refers to a software module that embodies the principles of the present invention. It is anticipated that in facilities currently using the Admin-Rx device 10 as well as McKesson dispensing cabinets 22, that Connect-Rn will be a software module that can be purchased to enable the data flows discussed above in conjunction with
Returning to the inquiry 56, if Connect-Rn is enabled, then the user is given the option 72 of creating a dispense list. If a dispense list is to be created, the dispense list may be built according to the workflow illustrated in
Process 58, as mentioned above, is implemented by the workflow illustrated in
Thereafter, an inquiry 98, is made as to whether the selected medications should be saved as a dispense list. If the inquiry is answered in the affirmative, then the dispense list is saved at 100 to the central database (42 in
Continuing with
Returning briefly to
At inquiry 144, if it is determined that the ordered medications are not found in the unit, another inquiry 150 determines whether Connect-Rn is enabled. If Connect-Rn is enabled, then the drug and quantity may be selected at 152. An exemplary screen shot 153, connected to 152 via a broken line, illustrates the information which may be displayed and from which a selection can be made. After a selection is made, the selected drug and quantity is stored as a missing medication request in central database (42 in
Turning to
Returning to inquiry 170, if it is determined that the request may not be forwarded to automation equipment, a manual pick is performed at 180. After the manual pick is performed at 180, an inquiry 182 is made to determine if the request came from a pharmacy system. If the answer is yes, then the status of the missing medication is updated at 184 in the pharmacy system. For example, the pharmacy system may be notified that the prescription has been filled so its status can be changed to delivered. Thereafter, or if the request did not come from a pharmacy system, process flow continues at 174 with the medication being delivered to the floor in any suitable manner.
Additionally, instead of being determined serially as shown in
Although not shown in
Not shown in
After the medications are dispensed at 208, inquiry 210 determines if Connect-Rn is enabled. If Connect-Rn is enabled, then the list of medications is updated at 212 to remove any medications on the list (indicating that they are present in the cassette), but not actually present in the cassette, and to decrement the count for medications that have been removed. Thereafter, process flow continues with inquiry 214. If, at 210, Connect-Rn is not disabled, process flow continues with inquiry 214.
At inquiry 214, a determination is made whether the medications are in a dispensing cabinet, such as the AccuDose-Rx cabinet. If not, the collection of medication ends at 216. If, however, the inquiry at 214 is in the affirmative, then a procedure 218 for collecting medications from the cabinet is performed, as shown in greater detail in
The dispensing cabinet may then perform pre-dispense tasks as represented by the box 232 and as described in greater detail in conjunction with
Returning to the inquiry 224 as to whether there were any items in the patient's dispense list, if that determination is negative, a subsequent inquiry 242 determines the dispense mode. There are numerous possible dispense modes. In the exemplary workflow illustrated in 6B, two dispense modes, dispense by profile and dispensed by inventory, are possible. If there is to be a dispense by profile, then the patient's profile is displayed at 244. If there is to be a dispense by inventory, then the inventory list is displayed at 246. From either 244 or 246, process flow continues with 228 in which medications are selected to dispense.
Turning to
After the user confirms that the user is located proximate to the dispensing device, the dispense lists are located on the central server at 254. All lists created by the user for this cabinet will be transferred at 256. The user's ID and PIN number are transferred at 258. The transfer is preferably a wireless RF transmission, but could be by other means, e.g. physical docking of the hand held device 10 with a docking station (not shown).
At inquiry 260 a determination is made as to whether an autologin is enabled. If yes, the user is automatically logged in using the user ID and PIN number transferred to the cabinet. It will be seen from the foregoing that if Connect-Rn is found to be enabled at inquiry 250, and the autologin found to be enabled at inquiry 260, the user's logon to the cabinet is seamless and transparent to the user. The user simply scans the bar code at 252, or operates some other type of authentication device for confirming that the user is at the cabinet, and the user is automatically logged in. Thereafter, the login process ends at 264.
If, at inquiry 260, the autologin is not enabled, the user must enter their PIN at 266 and press a login button, or take some other confirmatory action, at 268. The process ends at 264.
Returning to the inquiry 250, if Connect-Rn is not enabled, the user must manually login by entering the user's ID at 270, entering the user's PIN at 272, and pressing a login button at 274, or taking some other confirmatory action. The login process ends at 264.
Returning to the inquiry 280, if Connect-Rn is enabled, a determination is made regarding the number of patients for which dispense lists have been created. If the number is zero, the process continues at 282 by displaying a list of all the available patients. If only one patient has a list, that patient is automatically selected at 290 and the process terminates at 286. If there is more than one patient with a list, the list of patients with dispense lists is displayed at 292. At 294 the user selects a patient from the dispense list and the process ends at 286.
The process 234 for dispensing medications is illustrated in
An inquiry 436 determines whether Connect-Rn is enabled. If not, a waste medication process 438 can be performed as discussed in detail in conjunction with
Returning briefly to
If, at inquiry 324, it is determined that Connect-Rn is not enabled, the user will be required to login to a supply issuing system, such as the Supply Scan system available from McKesson. After logging on through the supply issuing system's computer (See 20,
Another process for issuing supplies is illustrated in
Returning to the inquiry 366, if it is determined that the user does not need supplies in another location, process flow may continue with the inquiry 384. If desired, the determination as to whether anyone else is logged in and, if not, closing all the doors may be performed between the inquiry 366 and the inquiry 384.
Returning briefly to
At inquiry 396, a determination is made as to whether Connect-Rn is enabled. If not, process flow ends at 398. If Connect-Rn is enabled, process flow continues with the waste medication procedure 438 shown in detail in
The workflow for the waste medication procedure 438 illustrated in
At inquiry 408, a determination is made as to whether a reason for the waste is required. If yes, the reason for the waste is entered at 410. Thereafter, or if no waste reason is required, process flow continues with inquiry 412 in which a determination is made as to whether the waste method must be documented. If yes, the waste method is documented at 414. Thereafter, or if no waste method documentation is required, the process ends at 416.
Returning to
It should be noted that patient cassettes typically contain a day's worth of medications for a patient while dispenses from a cabinet are usually the next due medications. Thus, the dispense from the cabinet may need to be adjusted if the healthcare worker wishes to have a full day's worth of medications for patient's on that healthcare worker's rounds.
The present invention provides additional functionality for nurses as set forth in the figures. The present invention also adds greater value to the wireless infrastructure investment. By integrating the functionality set forth in

Diverse local authority policies and practices throughout the UK are making big differences to the uptake and operation of direct payments a system for supporting people who are receiving community care by enabling them to purchase their own care. New research from the Economic and Social Research Council reveals that direct payments are being operated, and experienced, very differently in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Direct payments are funds paid by local authorities directly to disabled people, and other community care service users, to buy-in their own support, usually this takes the form of employing personal care assistants.
The payments, first introduced in 1997, have been controversial. Some have seen them as a covert means of privatising the delivery of public sector services, whilst for others they represent an important means of empowering those at the margins, of society by involving them as co-producers of their services.

The Beatles' music and legacy is set to rock across the universe in the form of a video game through a partnership between Apple Corps Ltd., Harmonix and MTV Games, a part of Viacom's MTV Networks.
This partnership marks the first time that Apple Corps, along with EMI Music, Harrisongs Ltd, and Sony/ATV Music Publishing, has agreed to present The Beatles music in an interactive video game format. Published by MTV Games and developed by Harmonix, the creators of the best-selling ROCK BAND, the game will be an unprecedented, experiential progression through and celebration of the music and artistry of The Beatles.
The game was creatively conceived with input from Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, along with Yoko Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrison, and enjoys their full blessing. In addition, Giles Martin, co-producer of The Beatles LOVE project, will provide his expertise and serve as music producer for this project.
"The project is a fun idea which broadens the appeal of The Beatles and their music. I like people having the opportunity to get to know the music from the inside out," McCartney said.
"People are having so much fun playing ROCK BAND. Combined with The Beatles tracks, it is a great way to either listen or participate," said Harrison. "If you like the music, it doesn't take much persuasion to get you to play."

Has anyone used a baby hammock? I'm currently pregnant with #2 and looking into getting one and I'll probably combine using that with bed sharing. There aren't a lot of reviews online, except on each product's website so I'm a little overwhelmed trying to narrow down my options. The most important thing is getting a safe hammock and then one that can be used for at least the first year. I don't want to spend money for one that can only be used until baby can roll over! If anyone has recommendations or can share their experience with a hammock, it would help me out so much! :)
I have no experience with this, but I wanted to chime in just to say that several of them have been recalled, so be careful of what you are buying.

Adaline (3/20/10), and Charlie (1/26/12- 4/10/12) and our identical twins Callie and Wendy (01/04/13)
SIDS happens.
I have the one from novanaturals. It is not the one that was recalled.
I tried to use it with my daughter and she hated it. We ended up lowering it down for our then two year old (now 7 year old) to swing on. He had sensory issues and it ended up being his little safe haven. When he needed "that feeling" he would run over and lay on it on his belly and use his feet to push himself off the wall over and over and swing. I hadn't thought to use it with my newest one who is 5 months old.
Joyful mama of 3.

I like growing my own food and I am a believer that if GMO food is safe, why not label it. You should be proud to say that you like getting your pesticides. I personally want to have a choice not to get them. It is only fair.
The Genetic Roulette Movie is by far a great movie to watch. Go watch the movie, while it is still available, go to their website to learn more. Free to watch this week only: September 15-22, 2012

All three of our Mexico crash adventures have been in trucks not bikes, although one was vs. a bike (D'oh). The first was a US registered vehicle with Sanborns insurance and the last 2 incidents were in Mexican vehicles with Mexican insurance (AXA). In all 3 cases the Insurance Adjuster came within a few minutes and went to bat for us (really, he went to bat for the insurance company). But it's great to have him around. Otherwise you never know what the Transitos will try to do. They can try to pull all kinds of BS. One thing they like is to take money from the guilty party to call it a no fault accident, which screws the innocent party.
If you are not in the city it could take a long time for the Adjuster to come. It's worth waiting around for them, even if it's 2 hours. Don't sign or agree to anything until he gets there.
The Adjuster has a printer right there in his car and can hand out hospital vouchers to the injured. They can write out a check on the spot to the victim for vehicle damages to get it over and done with.
On my US plated Wee I have HDI Seguros, which I got through Bajabound. I have not made a claim with them so I can't comment on their service.

There's a pattern that is familiar from so many other countries that have gotten into debt problems," said Jeffrey A. Frankel, an economist at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. "A simultaneous rise in interest rates, fall in securities prices and depreciation of the currency."
China's The Standard has published a report that may describe the event that could trigger a perfect storm. The Standard says "U.S. 'Playing with Fire' on Yuan Drive." Here are a couple quotes:
Politicians are playing with fire,'' said Ronald McKinnon, an economics professor at Stanford University in California.
Nouriel Roubini, a former adviser to treasury secretary Robert Rubin, said the United States' reliance on China to plug record US budget deficits means lawmakers risk ``biting that hand that feeds'' the economy.
Meanwhile, the social safety net for the most vulnerable has been shredded. The New York Times is also reporting that "Elderly people with low incomes may lose some of their food stamps if they sign up for the new Medicare prescription drug benefit."
I think we should just drop the elderly poor off at the White House for dinner every day.

Two days after St. Elmo Mayor Larry Tish locked horns with Police Chief Ken Thomason at a city council meeting, Tish fired the police chief.
Tish presented Thomason with a letter on Wednesday in which he stated that Thomason's termination was effective immediately.
As for any explanation of the termination, Tish stated in the letter only that, "It is my opinion that the interests of the municipality demand your removal as chief of police."
"We need a lot more of those hung up in town," a female yelled from her vehicle Friday afternoon as she saw Michael L. LaMar holding a "Reinstate the Chief" at the intersection of U.S. Route 40 and Main Street.
Upon learning that the female wanted one of those signs, LaMar pulled one from the bed of this truck.
Patoka's post season run came to an end Thursday night in Lebanon. The Lady Warrior's volleyball team fell in the Lebanon Sectional final to Bunker Hill, 18-25, 13-25.
Early in game one, it looked as if Bunker Hill would run away with the championship, leading 14-4. A 12-3 run by Patoka cut the game to just one, at 17-16, putting the Lady Warriors right back in contention. With Patoka hot on its tail, Bunker Hill went on a 8-2 run to close out the game.
What's better than a volunteer program that enhances our business district by providing facelifts on downtown buildings? One that draws participation by a large group of youths.
Since its inception, the Vandalia Main Street Program's "Paint the Town" project has brightened several downtown buildings with new coats of paint.
The last building to get exterior improvements is the National Road Association of Illinois' interpretive center in the 100 block of South Fifth Street.
The Ben-Hur Literary Club was organized on Oct. 25, 1901, by some of Ramsey's upper crust ladies, and has been identified as one of the longest continuous organizations in Illinois.
The object of the club, as stated in their "constitution," was to "advance the knowledge of literature and promote the art of conversation."
Woolsey Brothers is a name that is well-known, well-respected and trusted in all of Fayette County … and beyond.
Its farm supply service is known for the integrity, fairness, and dependability that their customers, as well as their employees, have come to expect over the years.
The continuity of this well-deserved reputation is largely due to Herb Woolsey, although he would modestly decline the credit.
A Vandalia man who was arrested in April of this year on battery and robbery charges has been sentenced to 12 years in prison last week in Fayette County Circuit Court.
Judge Dennis Middendorff of Carlyle sentenced John C. Taylor on Friday, Oct. 23, about 10 weeks after Taylor entered an open plea of guilty to a charge of vehicular invasion.
In handing down the sentence, Middendorff gave Taylor, 37, credit for time he has served in the Fayette County Jail since his arrest in April.
When they go to the polls in the spring, Fayette County voters won't have to spend too much time making decisions.
That's because, at least at this time, those individuals running for county offices are unopposed.
The filing period for the Feb. 2, 2010, primary election ended Monday without any surprises.
Two employees at a natural gas storage facility north of St. Elmo were injured last Wednesday in a fire that caused several explosions.
The Fayette County Sheriff's Office was notified just before 1 p.m. of the incident at the Natural Gas Pipeline Co. of America about six miles north of town.
The fire reportedly was started by welding being done on a product tank. Anywhere from two to four explosions occurred after the fire was started.
After years of work by several committees to create a community recreation center in Vandalia, about 50 people took part in a groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday that kicks off the construction phase of that dream.
The Family Y of Fayette County's new home will be built on a 4-acre tract east of Rock Island Avenue, just across the street from the Kaskaskia College campus. The actual location of the building will be east of Miller Field, which fronts on Rock Island.

What to Ask Your Doctor about Stage IV Melanoma
When your doctor tells you that you have cancer, it can often be overwhelming. However, it is important to use the time when you are with your doctor to learn as much about your cancer as you can, so that you can gain control of your diagnosis.
After a physician tells a patient that they have melanoma the doctor will often explain a number of important details specific to that patient's diagnosis. It is often helpful to bring a friend or family member with you. Friends can lend morale support and help you by asking questions, taking notes, and helping you understand what your doctor has said.
The following questions relate to some of the most important aspects of a melanoma diagnosis and can serve as a guide to help you focus on what questions to ask your doctor.
Remember, it is ALWAYS okay to ask your doctor to repeat or clarify something they have said so that you can better understand it.
You may find it helpful to print out these questions and bring them with you to your next doctor's visit.
- What criteria did I meet to be diagnosed with Stage IV melanoma?
- Where has my melanoma spread?
- Is my brain involved?
- Will I need additional tests or procedures to confirm the stage of my disease?
- Should I get a second opinion?
- What is my prognosis?
- Will I have surgery?
- Was I tested for the BRAF mutation? Should I be tested for the NRAS or C-KIT mutation?
- What treatments do you recommend? Why?
- Should I consider immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or chemotherapy to treat my melanoma?
- What are the goals of my treatment?
- What are the possible side effects of these treatments?
- Will the treatment influence my ability to work?
- Do I need radiation therapy?
- What are clinical trials?
- Should I consider enrolling in a clinical trial?
- Do you participate in any clinical trials?
- Should I be referred to a center that has clinical trials?
- Can I use any complementary or alternative therapies?
- What type of a follow-up will I need?
- Do I need regular scans? Do I need a brain scan?
- Should I see a dermatologist regularly?
- What is the risk of my family members developing melanoma?
- What do you recommend regarding sun/UV protection?

Wish Magazine Launch Party
Organisation for the launch of a new magazine, 'Wish' of which 1000 copies were sent to print to be sold to girls worldwide. I conceived and organised a party in London to give 70 potential readers and collaborators a taste of the world of Wish. The event comprised of a knitting class, a scent profiling service with Penhaligon's, live illustrating with university students and conversational food.
I came up with the theme, sourced props, achieved drinks sponsorship from Hendricks gin plus organised cake and goodie bag sponsorship and delegated over a team of 6 to create the decorations and food. The night was a huge success, resulting in great praise and many blog posts by guests.

Watch Degrassi: The Next Generation
Degrassi: The Next Generation is a Canadian television show popular among pre-teens and teenagers alike. The show is essentially a continuation of the original Degrassi series, which aired during the 70s and 80s. The show itself is popular for tackling many real-life situations that teenagers these days go through in their middle school, high school, and college years. Perhaps one of the most appealing aspects of the show to its audience is the fact that these situations are portrayed realistically and many episodes feature plots that are relevant to current issues among teens.
The show features a large cast of characters at different stages in their school careers and life paths. However, the original cast of Degrassi: The Next Generation from when the show premiered in 2001 no longer remains, as they have all moved on to other career endeavors. For example, Aubrey Graham's character of Jimmy Brooks has since become a rap star in the United States and Canada known as "Drake", and has enjoyed much success with this career in music.
Degrassi: The Next Generation premiered in 2001 and is now going into its tenth season with a completely new cast, or "generation", as the title of the show suggests. In fact, the new season will be the first season to incorporate the new name change of the show from Degrassi: The Next Generation to simply Degrassi.
As mentioned above, the show is known for taking on realistic topics that teenagers often go through, even if they are controversial. For example, Degrassi has aired episodes related to school shootings, teenagers "coming out" as being homosexual, eating disorders, affairs, characters being diagnosed with cancer, and much more. And while some of these topics have been controversial in nature, many of the show's fans appreciate the fact that there is a show that does not sugar coat the teenage experience and shows many pre-teens and teenagers that they are not alone.
While the cast of the show has changed over the years, the overall plot remains the same. And it seems as though the show will continue to tackle issues among teenagers in a way that is thought provoking and entertaining for people of all ages. Degrassi airs on various channels in Canada, the country where it is filmed. In the United States, it can be found on the Nickelodeon-owned network, "The N," among a few others that often show reruns.

FUEL SUBSIDY PROTESTS I stand by my statements at Lagos rally —Bakare
Pastor Tunde Bakare, the convener of Save Nigeria Group, has been criticised over some radical statements he made at the Lagos rally, during the last fuel removal subsidy protests. In this interview with Sam Egburonu, Associate Editor, Bakare, who was the vice presidential candidate of Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), in the last general elections, said he stands by every statement he made at the rally. He also spoke on his mission in politics and why he would continue to do the things he is doing for as long as he breathes. Excerpts
It is considered tricky to combine the office of a pastor with that of a politician and a human rights activist. How have you been coping?
We are living in a world of multi-tasking. An average man, who is married, is a husband, if he has children, he is also a father; if his parents are still alive, he is also a son; if he has nephews and nieces, he is also an uncle and he would have to minister to these different sets of people. In like manner, there is grace to do what we are doing. I still see myself pastor in every facet of it without imposing religion on any person. A good shepherd is the one who can lay down his life for the sake of the flock, like David did and killed both the bear and the lion when they came to prey on his flock.
We are not a rolling stone that gathers no moss. Everything we do, we do it thoroughly and these things are intertwined. So, there is grace for it and thank God for supplying grace.
When you first indicated interest to contest for an elective position, many people expressed concern that as a man of God, it may expose you to severe criticisms. Given your experience today, will you not admit that such concerns were justified?
If you are going to fold your hands because of what people would say, you will never do anything. There is a secret call for those who don't want others to talk about them: be nothing, say nothing, do nothing. For as long as you are making effective contributions to your society, people must talk about you. When criticisms are made, we examine them. If those criticisms were truthful, we learn from them but if they are false propaganda, it would be like water at the back of a duck. You show me a man that contributed his quota to the development of the society and I will show you a man who has been thoroughly criticised by those who love to hate him and those who hate to love him. Criticism and praise are like the two poles of a battery: the negative and the positive. You will need both.
The last fuel subsidy removal protest in Lagos was exceptionally huge and successful. What was the secret?
There is a popular Yoruba proverb that if a bird wants to move in one direction and the wind blows in that direction, it helps the bird to move faster. The truth of the matter is that the people of this country are already aggrieved and greater than our expectations; they turned out in mass so that their voice can be heard. There is a wind that is blowing across the nations of the earth. It is the wind of the will of the people against the power of incumbency. I believe the fundamental Latin maxim, 'Vox populi, Supreme alex,' the voice of the people is the highest law. The people supported what they saw clearly was in their interest. They gave a primitive tax in the name fuel price hike now being mislabeled deregulation to confuse the people. There is no deregulation because there is no enabling legislation to that effect, except they are acting illegally and presumptuously. And any good government would have waited for passing into law of the Petroleum Industry Bill and prior to implementation of the deregulation policy, put in place safety nets for the economically vulnerable members of the society.
Your critics said you hijacked the protest for some selfish reasons; that it was for that reason that you were so passionate; that it was more or less a personal battle with President Goodluck Jonathan. Is it true? Are you angry with Mr. President?
Were you at the venue of the rally at all? I will give you some of the write-ups of the statements we made at the rally. Everyday of the rally, we maintained a particular stance. We asked the people to repeat, first to themselves and then loud enough for everybody to hear: 'no resentment, no reprisals, no revenge and no violence." When you hate a man, you reduce yourself.
Before going out for the rally, Save Nigeria Group and its allies sat down and planned together before execution. We didn't just go out there to decry the fuel price hike, we located the root cause of the Nigerian problem and we said 'Kill corruption and not the people.' This is because the excesses in the executive and legislative arms of government alone were more than what they were trying to remove as fuel subsidy. The poor people of this country can no longer continue to subsidise the rich. And I want to remind them of the wordings of two placards I saw in the midst of the crowd in Abuja and Lagos; it is handwriting on the wall for those who have ears to hear and eyes to see. It is written on the placards, "One day, the poor would have nothing to eat but the rich." In my place they have a popular saying, the poor man can never sleep because he is hungry and the rich cannot sleep because the poor is awake. Let's be careful. The rage of the poor is dangerous.
I have no personal hatred against the President. I am not fighting any personal battle with President Jonathan. The court has decided on the presidential election petitions. The Supreme Court has spoken and we have accepted the decisions publicly. We never incited anyone during or after the elections and no one should confuse CPC with SNG, if there is anything called common sense. It is the same SNG that marched the streets in Lagos and Abuja so that Dr. Jonathan could become Acting President and he thanked us publicly, openly, eloquently and now, for crying out against injustice, someone is saying we hijacked what? If we hijacked anything let others hijack what they can hijack. We didn't hijack anything. We sat, we planned and we executed.
The approach of so many people is different from our approach. Their approach is aim, shoot. For some others, it is shoot and then aim. But for us, it is, ready, aim and then shoot.
What is the difference sir?
The difference is a lot of planning goes into one and an impromptu reaction is the code for the other. We believe in the word that in a multitude of counsel there is safety. The truth of the matter is that we sat, we planned and we executed and as you can see, we went, we saw, we conquered.
Other matters that have attracted hot criticisms are some of your utterances at the rally. Your critics are expressing shock that you called for the removal of the President and even suggested that he should die. Do you regret these comments? Were you misunderstood or are you, as a lawyer, of the view that from the legal point of view, you have the right to say all that you said?
Those who said that I said those things you just said now, that I said he would die, let them bring it out. Nobody has the power of life and death except the Almighty God. Number two, you said that I called on him to be removed. I didn't say so. I said he spent N1.3 trillion without appropriation. I also said the Senate or the National Assembly should look into it and bring all the perpetrators to book. I said that if the President of our country has spent money without appropriation that is an impeachable offence and it should not be swept under the carpet. I stand by that statement. I did not say he should be removed, I cannot remove him but I need to let the whole world know the truth. That is an impeachable offence. In a more decent society, it could make a leader to resign but here, there are not many decent people at the corridors of power.
We learnt that some senior ministers of God are worried over such exchange of verbal volleys between you and political opponents. Are such ministers truly mounting pressure on you to soft pedal or quit politics?
The body of Christ is made of everyone in the church; the apostle, the prophet, the pastor, the evangelist, the teacher and the congregation. It is the pressure you allow that would come to you. Some well meaning men of God called me to identify with what we are doing and to check on me when they heard the rumour of my arrest. They meant well, they were not worried. Worry will never heal you of your sorrows, it will only sap you of your strength and those who are ruled by fear are actually worshipers of Mammon and Jesus said you cannot worship God and Mammon at the same time. So, when you are worried, you are serving Mammon.
So, even now you are not worried and those ministers are not worried?
I don't need to worry. I am not worried.
Are you enjoying politics and activism in Nigeria? Are you disappointed with some of your associates or are you satisfied with them and the system so far?
It was the former President of France, Charles De Gaulle, who said politics is too important a subject to be left in the hands of ordinary people. The scripture said when the righteous is in authority the people rejoice, when the wicked rules, they groan. Are Nigerians rejoicing now or groaning? That is food for thought.
I have no regrets whatever for participating in politics. I will continue to contribute my quota as God blesses me and gives me the opportunity to serve my generation according to the will of God; inside of the church, outside of the church, everywhere I find myself to serve.
But I want you to know one thing, I am not ambitious, I am not looking for position, I am not looking for power. As a matter of fact, only those who have the power of love should be entrusted with power because those who have love for power will destroy everyone just to get there. I am not in a hurry to become anything that God has not made me. I am already fulfilled. I am just looking for every God-given opportunity to spread joy, beginning from my family, in my home town, in my street, as much as God enables me, to the entire nation and to the world at large.
Put more concisely, what is Pastor Tunde Bakare looking for in Nigerian politics? What do you want?
I just want a nation that works; to raise the standard of political discourse beyond just seeking power for personal benefit. Most of those in government today are there for self. They are not seeking power for service. We want to raise the level of discourse, enlighten our people, so that we can have a critical mass of well informed, well enlightened citizenry that would ensure that the best, the brightest, the fittest and the most competent are entrusted with leadership in our nation; so that we can bring an end to mediocrity in governance; so that we can begin to enforce accountability and transparency, especially in the area where national resources are being expended. That's all that I want; a nation that works. When I see that, I can lift up my hands like Simeon, 'Now, let your servant depart oh Lord, my eyes have seen your salvation…' Until then, for as long as I breathe, I will continue to do the things I do.
Is it a fact that the organised labour sold out and ended the last fuel subsidy removal protests earlier than it should have done?
You should ask labour that question, not me.
But is Save Nigeria Group satisfied with the way the strike ended?
If we were satisfied, we won't be going out again for another rally on 21st of January. They were in charge of strike; we are in charge of protests. We collaborated and they did what they did. But the wisdom behind their action, they are trying to communicate with us. In fact, one of them, in the leadership, called me this morning (Wednesday) and he said; I will need to see you for there are some things we could not talk on phone that led them to do what they did. I said, well, whenever you come, I am available. But he has not said it and I have no intention of handling their case for them. So, direct that question to labour; organised or disorganised labour.
What is actually wrong with removal of fuel subsidy?
We are not against deregulation or the down stream sector of the petroleum industry. For it to happen, there must be an enabling legislation and prior to its happening there must be safety nets to take care of the millions of impoverished Nigerians. Because this is about the only benefit they have from the government that is self centred. Until that is done, you cannot deprive them of the little benefits they have from the resources of the nation. And for pastors who are worried, they should read Ecclesiastes Chapter 5, beginning from verse number 8… The resources of this country belong to Nigerians and those who are thinking that what is happening is deregulation are being fooled. What is happening is fuel price hike; the worst form of fuel price hike in the history of our nation, over 115 percent. It is the same government, where this Jonathan served as Vice-President that reduced the price of petrol from the N70. 00 per litre that Obasanjo left it to N65. 00. What has then happened? Does it mean that Nigeria lost oil or we do not have oil anymore that now hiked it? What led them to spend N1.3 trillion un-appropriated funds whereas in the past four years, the highest spent every year was about N400 billion and Nigerians were getting petrol. These are the questions you journalists should ask them. We are not against deregulation. We saw the deregulation of the telecom sector. Nigerians are benefiting from it. When they started they were selling one Sim card for about N22, 000, now, they are giving them out.
If it is properly done, it will bring benefits but it is done to cover their debt track and their profligacy. They know that if by next year the subsidy is not removed, the whole world will know that they over spent themselves in the election year.
Let us call, not EFCC, to look at the affairs of the petroleum sector. Instead, let us have an independent commission of inquiry with a public hearing, then they can make everything open. Look at what is happening at the National Assembly where the Customs department said it does not have any document for importation of fuel. That is the situation we found ourselves.
So, we are not against deregulation. All we are saying is put the right measures in place; One, an enabling legislation; two, prior safety net. We emphasise this because we need to know what has happened to budgetary allocations in the 12 years of PDP rule in Nigeria?
What is the solution to the current security challenges in the country, including Boko Haram?
I think Mr. President just woke up from slumber when he sent the military to Lagos. He is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. But the only problem was that he deployed the soldiers against innocent, armless civilians. Let him use the same zeal to curb the excesses of militant groups north and south of the country.
And this can only be achieved through good governance. When the needs of the people are taken care of, when the millions of jobless Nigerians are gainfully employed or have alternative means of survival, until then, "Alagbara ma mero, baba ole," (the man who has a lot of strength without wisdom, is worse than a lazy person. This present federal government possesses power without compassion, might without morality and sense without sight.

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 day to 1 weekPros:
Definitely cheaper than if i buy it from stores that sell the original cards. These cards from CHINA cost me around a third or a quarter of the original price i would have paid in card stores
The paper card of the 2 stacks of cards are different from each other. Card quality dont seem to be as good as the original. Quite easy to feel the difference
Buy it for its cheapness, not really the quality if you can live with it
Suggestions may include deck protectors to cover the cards, but the back of the cards would not be seen easily ( cant differentiate the different card types)
Cheapness or Quality. You decide :)

DIY Pen Holder for Moleskine Journal
A few months ago I mentioned my shift to using the Bullet Journal method for organization. I'm still finding this to be an awesome way to keep everything in one place, and my bullet journal goes everywhere with me.
The trouble was, how to keep track of a pen? Though awesome in literally every other way, the Moleskine Journal still has this as a major drawback.
Naturally, I put my DIY skills to work and created a super functional, super sturdy pen holster for my classic sized Moleskine Journal (5″ x 8.5″). I wrote a full tutorial and if you can sew a straight line, you can sew one of these beauties for yourself!

text: Director Brent Fidler details the remarkable experiences that shaped Edgar Allan Poe's rich imagination with this biographical drama that uses the legendary author and poet's deathbed dreams as a springboard to exploring his remarkable life. Born into theater and raised in England, Poe would later make his home on the docks of Richmond. It was there that the author produced his true classics - some of the best-known works in literary history. As Poe lies in his hospital bed edging ever closer to the unknown, the past intermingles with the present to highlight how one author managed to transform his inner torment into words that would reverberate down through the generations, profoundly affecting the lives of anyone who dared enter his macabre world. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
