When you’ve gotta work on Halloween…a nurse’s feelings in memes

You love your job, but clocking in on a holiday can be a tough pill to swallow. Especially when it’s Halloween, also known as the one day out of the year you can expect to be surrounded by “injuries” you’re pretty certain it’s okay to ignore .

Of course, working on Halloween isn’t all doom and gloom, and while seeing the (neon orange) light may take some time, we’re here to help walk you through the process. Something we assume looks a little…

Are there too few women presenting at emergency medicine conferences?

Introduction

There is a perception that women are under-represented as speakers at emergency medicine (EM) conferences. We aimed to evaluate the ratio of male to female speakers and the proportion of presenting time by gender at major international EM conferences.

Methods

Conference programmes of the major English-speaking EM conferences occurring from 2014 to 2015 were obtained. The number of presentations, the gender of the speaker and the duration…

http://www.lifeplusvitamins.com/bodysmart-program.htm – This program was developed by a medical doctor in Germany using the LOGI method, which is based on eating low-glycemic foods. In large part what makes the program work so well is it jump starts your metabolism. One of the great side benefits of this program besides losing weight is it will greatly increase hour energy levels. You will be amazed at how great you feel.

On both days geared toward metabolism readjustment you may consume up to 5 Protein/Nutrition Shakes. You should not consume solid food during these two days, but drink a large amount of liquids: a minimum of 2 to 3 liters of water, tea, coffee, broth.

You should not let more than 3 hours pass between consumption of the shakes, otherwise you run the risk of consuming too few calories and your metabolism will switch to starvation mode instead of fat-burning and weight-reduction mode.

Mix 1 scoop (20 g) of Triple Protein Shake in at least 500 — 700 ml of liquid (water or reduced-fat milk). Add 1-2 tea spoons of flax oil or coconut oil. Take 2 tablets BodySmart Gold (Women or Men) and 2 tablets EnerXan with your first shake. People with high blood pressure should start out with 1 tablet of EnerXan

Once you reach your target weight, you can switch back to 3 normal meals per day. A diet according to the Logi method is highly suitable: Carb-reduced, modified fat intake, optimal protein intake. However, it is advisable to occasionally replace a meal with a protein shake. The most suitable meal is dinner as it will boost fat burning during the night.

You will only continue to lose a minimal amount of weight during the Stabilization Phase as the goal during this phase is stabilizing your target weight.

With the diet according the Logi method you are able to follow a balanced diet, keep your weight in the “ideal area,” and remain effective. During times of increased nutrient requirements (exercise, stress, pregnancy, smoking), the nutritional balance can be easily maintained with concentrated micro nutrients.

When will we have enough women speakers in emergency medicine?

In an observational study published in EMJ, Carley et al1 asked “Are there too few women presenting at emergency medicine conferences?” The authors analysed the apparent gender of speakers at eight major emergency medicine (EM) conferences from 2014 to 2015. They found that women presenters gave 29.9% of the talks occupying 27.6% of the total speaking time.

The group then compared these percentages to the mean percentage of th…
