Preheating the Patient
For those of you who haven't experienced surgery in a while, there is a nice little innovation in hospital apparel. This morning, Janet is being "prewarmed" for surgery. She is decked out in a "gown" that has velcro hooks for the convenience of the medical staff. It also has a flexible hose attached to it that blows heated or cooled air for the patient's comfort. Got a hot flash? Drill that sucker down to icy cold. Feeling a bit drafty? Set the dial for toast. Brilliant.

How does one go about purchasing one for home use? We're praying at Whitefield for you!
ReplyDeleteTed had one of those during his last surgical experience...being eternally cold (except for my personal summers), I threatened to sneak it out with me in his bag. So neat....
ReplyDeleteI have to ask about the nuclear thing...does this mean J's gonna glow in the dark now? Would be really cool for next Halloween. :-)
I'm new at this blog stuff and I'm trying to post a comment ... last one didn't make it. Just trying again.
