Check Out Her Blog

I don't watch medical dramas on TV. (Indeed, I don't watch much television at all. Subject for another post. [1]) I'm more attracted to the real stories of the men and women who take care of us when our bodies fail us. TV just cannot do justice to the internet in that regard.

Kim is a nurse at a San Francisco-area hospital. Works in the emergency department. Has just recently learned her husband is diabetic. Loves the rock group Journey. Has an eccentric attraction to old photographs with nurses in them. Nurse cap fetish.

Her spin on things is funny and human and informative. Her two blogs are a weekly destination for me. Emergiblog (link above) was the first. From there you can check out Scared To Health, a new blog she started when her husband needed emergency surgery and his hidden diabeties was uncovered.

At Kim's blog you'll find links to a wealth of good blogs written by nurses and physicians. Leave the ER. Scrub Scrubs. Put Grey's Anatomy back on the bookshelf. Go and find for yourself some real medical stories and musings. It is worth your time to check them out.

[1]-for the record, I average 2 hours of TV viewing a month outside of football season. During football season the average jumps to about 7 hours a week. WHO DEYYYY!
