Frank's Sign

Frank's Sign - The diagonal earlobe crease as a predictor of heart disease and stroke. by Nurse Eric This article is intended for educational purposes only. Introduction Since starting my career as a nurse in 2012 I've been intrigued by the bedside physical assessment signs that point to inward disease because I believe that a nurse who can identify problems before they become deadly can save lives.  Here's a link to a video I made telling the story of how I learned about Frank's Sign. https://youtu.be/TNUjMi_f0DI Take a look at this comment I received on this video about Frank's Sign. I think it's incredible that someone followed through to get a CT scan because of what they saw in their earlobes. Look at what it said. It's good he followed through. Frank's sign is one of those outward signs that can point to some big problems. Think of it like the canary in the coal mine. Poor canaries!  Coronary Artery

Plenty of Science to Support Masks to Slow the Spread of COVID 19 The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the science behind the wisdom of the recommendation to wear cloth face coverings or other appropriate masks when social distancing is not possible during a pandemic like COVID 19 where the disease is spread through respiratory droplets. The wisdom is derived from two main concepts; 1. Asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic spread are significant sources of spread of COVID 19 and; 2. Cloth face masks safely provide a significant level of protection from respiratory droplets thereby reducing the spread.  Asymptomatic Spread; Viral Load; Contact Tracing Rothe C, Schunk M, Sothmann P, et al.

Love Wins

True story:  My patient was a young family man who was very afraid about what had happened to him.  We went down for a scan and he was terrified.  Visibly emotional, he asked if anyone was a Christian who could pray for him out loud.  One person said they were and said they were praying for him silently.  He kept asking for someone to put hands on him and pray out loud.  This seemed to make everyone in the room initially uncomfortable.  I'm pretty sure I was the only ex Evangelical Christian turned Humanist Atheists in the room.   That being said, I saw my role as nurse to care for my patient.  I put my hand over his heart and said, "Dear heavenly father, (patient name can't be disclosed per HIPAA) is very anxious about this scan. Please help him overcome his anxiety, give him peace and help him to be brave right now. Give him a positive outcome to the scan so that he will be able to return to his wife and children who love him and miss him dearly. In your name
