My human is going to need surgery, and there isn't a thing I can do for her. She and my other human were discussing this surgery, and the instructions she was given were that she had to have an adult there with her on a 24/7 basis to care for her for the first few days after surgery. This is... Sign in to see full entry.

8/28/2003 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes
My human has asked me to write on the topic of patient care, and I gladly consented. We nurses - feline and human - have a principle called "patient abandonment." Although the principle has been abused far and wide by those wanting to see us work exhausting double and triple shifts in human... Sign in to see full entry.

8/26/2003 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes
The good news is that the human orthopedic problems are caused by gout. The bad news is that this doctor is trying to push my other human into getting gastric bypass surgery, despite the fact that he's dropped ten pounds in ten days. In fact, my intelligence sources say that this doctor's insurance... Sign in to see full entry.

8/25/2003 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes
I'm very worried, and I'm here to ask for your continued good thoughts for my other human. My regular human has told you that my other human has been going around and around with his doctor about orthopedic problems. The doctor has committed what I consider to be a gross breach of professional... Sign in to see full entry.

8/24/2003 Special addition
I am about to provide proof of my assertion that nurses - feline or human - are far from perfect. In my last entry, I failed to note that we are having a special party for Dulcinea. Regular readers of this blog will know that she is related by adoption to my nursing professor Guinevere. I have to go... Sign in to see full entry.

Majroj left an excellent comment on my last entry. I would suggest reading it, as my human (who has much experience in these matters) says it is absolutely the best advice one can receive when dealing with human members of the medical and nursing professions. You see, we nurses are not perfect.... Sign in to see full entry.

8/23/2003 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes
It's been one of those weeks. The two resident humans I tend have had consistent orthopedic problems. The male human goes to his physician on Monday to attempt to get an answer. Here's what has my regular patient fried. Although the doctor insists that the male human's true problem is his weight,... Sign in to see full entry.

8/18/2003 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes
I have snuck over to the human computer for a few minutes to call your attention to the Listed on BlogShares button on this blog. My human and I both hope that the powers that be at The Blogging Network allow us to continue to leave this button on my blog. Something called a spider is supposed to... Sign in to see full entry.

8/17/2003 Special Update
I just learned from my human that this blog is listed on BlogShares. Those of you who are members of that organization are free to buy fantasy shares of this blog if you wish - my human is in the process of claiming it on my behalf in order to invest in it herself. Yours truly, Garfield Peters Sign in to see full entry.
8/17/2003 Nurse Garfield's Field Notes
I realized this morning that I failed to include notes on Rapunzel yesterday. Frankly, Rapunzel has not been in the best of shape for months. Her human suspects gastrointestinal problems (I'm a nurse, and I'm going to keep my language professional here), and has her on some of the same drugs my own... Sign in to see full entry.
