Do Shoals Democrats Try Harder?

When William Smith was heading the local Republicans, we always received announcements of their monthly meetings. Unfortunately, we no longer receive these. We do receive them from the local Dems. Perhaps they try harder?

The Shoals Democratic Club will meet at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, January 20th at the Operating Engineers Hall on Dr. Hicks Blvd. in Florence. The keynote speaker will be Nancy Worley, Chairwoman of the Alabama Democratic Party. The public is invited to attend.

What Is Wrong At UNA?

Five. Yes, reportedly five men raped a young woman this weekend. From the description of the incident, it was planned. At least two of the five (and there may have been more) were football players. Kind of makes calling the president a name look rather tame, doesn't it?

Pen-N-Sword has some info not published elsewhere, with an update in the works:

Do You Know Your Nurse?

If you're like us, you may not know who's who in a doctor's office, but we're pretty sure you don't want the cleaning lady giving you an enema to treat a sinus infection. So, how do you know who's doing what to you?

We've received several questions about this recently, and we advise care if you aren't sure what someone's credentials are. From Nurse Nan (2009):

Due to a local physician having some problems at his office, we've had several questions concerning just who's who at the doctor's. Here's the run down of what type personnel you will usually find:

Physician - either a Medical Doctor or an Osteopath
Physician's Assistant - these are licensed and usually possess a Master's Degree
CRNP - these highly trained nurses are licensed and also usually possess a Master's Degree
RN - professional nurses; there are currently four kinds practicing in the state, but all have the same legal status
LPN - trade nurses that are called LVNs in some states
Medical Assistant - these are not licensed, do the basics, and do not usually administer injections
Phlebotomist - personnel trained in drawing blood, found in larger offices

If you have any doubt about who is assisting your physician or administering vaccinations, etc., feel free to ask. All competent personnel will be glad to answer your questions concerning their credentials.

We hope this helps those who are unsure of their medical providers...and yes, we'll have more on this at a later date.
