"Central Lines, PICC's, and Ports, Oh My!" with a side of "Nurses are People Too"

Much to blog about...later. Lots to do before I blog about why I have lots to do (spoiler: it's positive stuff).

In the meantime, enjoy this lovely, informative post by a great nurse blogger on the differences between, and pros/cons of, different types of central lines. I'm hoping this will be especially useful to all of the nonCFers who tune in here at Breath Sentence, as well as any of the mommys-of-the-babyCFers who may not be as familiar with this stuff as the old-timers.



I also suggest, for your reading pleasure (and improvement as a human being) to google around and find a few blogs of healthcare providers, and keep up with those. Even the best-intentioned of us can get a little bratty with these folks from time to time, and it's good to remind ourselves that they, too, are humans; get a little perspective on what THEY put us with from US, and hopefully learn and become better patients and self-advocates from their experiences.
