http://www.hospitalistforum.com Discussion forum dedicated for hospitalists en-us I am not a hospitalist but my wife is and I looking for some advice. How do all of you get sleep with the shifting schedules? My wife's schedules are so odd that I have to keep track in my outlook calendar and I feel it is messing with her sleep schedule. Not only that but I think that her residency made her such a light sleeper that any slight noise wakes her up, and once she is up, she cannot go back to sleep. The slightest noise of a lawn mower in the summer or a snow blower in the winter will wake her. Even a popping of my ankles or knees goinig up and down the stairs (I am an ex Army Ranger.....and all of the road marches and jumping killed my joints) will wake her. Her lack of sleep is getting to her and is adding to her stress which I understand, I went through Ranger School and spent many a weeks in the Army with out sleep, and know how lack of sleep plays with your stress. She has tried everything from ear plugs to soothing music but nothing works. I am hoping one of you will have some ideas or tricks of the trade that you have learned. I hope to get some advice here that would help her. Thank you in advance. http://www.hospitalistforum.com/threads/sleep-61.html Tue, 09 Feb 2010 11:37:04 EST http://www.hospitalistforum.com/topic/61/ Hi, Have a question...A patient on long-term warfarin for more than 5 years for PE/DVT, gets admitted for some new problem. If you find the INR to be subtherapeutic, would you consider heparin bridging? Do we have to bridge every time we find the INR to be low? How would coumadin clinics/anticoagulation clinics take care of the situation? thanz, billll http://www.hospitalistforum.com/threads/low-inr-60.html Sun, 13 Dec 2009 20:57:02 EST http://www.hospitalistforum.com/topic/60/ My partners and I are all seasoned hospitalists that are employed by the hospital's program. We have an opportunity to start a new program at another hospital but we have no idea on how to do the finances. Where do we get information on how to set up our charges and financial contracts with the hospital? How do we bill for our services? Is there info or statistics that can help us set up? http://www.hospitalistforum.com/threads/new-program-start-up-59.html Thu, 08 Oct 2009 21:39:53 EDT http://www.hospitalistforum.com/topic/59/ My partners and I are all seasoned hospitalists that are employed by the hospital's program.
