Labs We Need POST-OP by Nurse Sharon

Feb 11, 2010

Found this GREAT INFO. from a very hostile forum Question.
The responses were...well, you know...something that would've made ME CRY!!!
(because I am a big baby and hate 'strong words' or any conflict whatsoever)
Anyway,
I hated to steal this, but, I am on OH for INFO...
So, 
Thanks to Nurse Sharon, I am the benefactor of her scolding a 'newbie'-
(in one response, someone actually referred to the original poster as a 'toddler'...) :
