One thing that has been bothering me lately has been the SARS outbreak in Toronto. My aunt has been looking after 2 patients
there on 12 hour shifts. When I spoke to her the other day she sounded quite tired...
And that is usually when people make mistakes. The are keeping the people in negative
pressure rooms (so any air leaks don't let air leak out) that are ventalated
outside. There is this "waiting room" thing before you actually get into the room where
they put on double everything. Double masks, gowns, boots, goggles (well, maybe not
doube googles...). Anyways, if they forget anything in the hall, they have to take it
all off and do it all again. Of course there is lots and lots of scrubbing involved.
Before they are even allowed into the hospital they have to take their temp. and sign a
waver that says they don't have any symptoms. Scary, scary stuff.
I saw the
hockey at
Karen's house. Great game.
It is always better to watch something like that somewhere else. I don't think that it
matters if it is out at a bar or something or just at another person's house, as long as
it is not at mine. I don't know why.
