Propofol is a milky-white drug that sedates patients beautifully. I like propofol! Its short half-life makes neuro assessments easy; it controls hypertension and its soy base even provides some nutrition.
But since Michael Jackson's death, I just gotta add this:
1. Propofol is used ONLY IN A HOSPITAL'S ICU
2. Propofol is used ONLY ON VENTILATED PATIENTS
3. The only other exception is when it is used during conscious sedation BY A PHYSICIAN WITH DEEP SEDATION PRIVILEGES
Trust me--I'm right about this.
There's a question that reveals immediately if a person will be a good partner. I discovered this question quite by accident one night on a date with a surgeon. I said, "Tell me about your ex-wife."
He rolled his eyes, took a deep breath and said: "God! Those were the longest three months of my life! I couldn't wait to get rid of that crazy bitch! She was a huge bipolar disaster!"
Our appetizers had just arrived and they looked really good. I wondered if it would be okay if I ate some before I suddenly remembered that I needed to take my hamster to the hairstylist.
When I met my present husband, I reached into my old bag of tricks and asked him about his first wife.
He said, "Cindy and I were married for fourteen years. We had a lot of good times together. It didn't work out, but I have many great memories. We both made mistakes and we recognize that we're better off apart now. But we share two wonderful daughters and I wish her all the best."
I was so impressed, I married him.
Nurse's Note: The question reveals nothing about your ex. It reveals how you view your past and how you take responsibility for it.
