Hazelnut my fav!

Vanilla is a common term in the medical community. It probably does sound odd to others out of context. An example is the daily IV Total Parenteral Nutrition patient orders are written daily and mixed in a batch daily. Because of the sterile process, cost, and complexity of the procedure if the order for your patient misses the batch deadline that patient will receive Vanilla TPN or an established standardized concentration commonly used for TPN.

Let me know if you want to know any other useless medical lore. My husband used to laugh over some of the medical jargon. It does sound pretty crazy sometimes. He died a few years back with the unwavering hope that stem cell advances would cure some of his ailments, I might add. In fact, his family established a memorial fund for that purpose. OT I know.

Have a great weekend Mr. Long.
