WOW! Chicago is AWESOME! This is the first place that has ever greeted us with ALARMS! How thoughtful was that? We arrived at The Hilton and there were bells & whistles sounding everywhere.....downtown, uptown, all around. They "thought" it was a tornado warning but realized it was only Gladys blowing through.

Gladys and Denise spoke for The Annual Joint Commission Patient Safety Conference today.....we were all "Gladys Friday." What a terrific group!

6 MILLION people are expected to be right across the street this weekend.....to see "Gladys Friday" ??? or could it have anything to do with The Taste of Chicago? We shall see.

Anesthesia please?

"Gladys" sister was scheduled to have surgery but could not decide which type of anesthesia she would prefer. She was reluctant and very nervous about having an epidural. She wanted the opinion of "Gladys Friday" so she invited "Gladys" to go with her for her pre-op and to talk with the surgeon.

While there, the surgeon was explaining the different types of anesthesia. "Gladys" asked, "Doctor, just which kind of anesthesia would you prefer if this was your wife?"

The surgeon said, "NONE!"

SHOCKED and surprised by his answer, "Gladys" and her sister were even more confused.

The surgeon explained, "I would not use ANY anesthesia on HER.....(bad divorce) ~ and she could buy her own drugs.....in fact, with what I'm paying in alimony, she can START HER OWN PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY!"

Were you "Gladys Friday yesterday?" ~ This is a "SAD-urday" without The Friday Funny.

"We" visited with the administrator and staff of Allergy Partners, Winston Salem yesterday. What a GREAT TIME! Terrific group full of energy and teamwork! Lots of "ATTA GIRLS!"

Joint Commission ~ here we come! Is Chicago ready for "Gladys Friday" this week?

Actual medical record entries ~

"Gladys Friday" hopes that new & improved electronic health records will prevent "any & all typed" mistakes as listed below that are reportedly found to be in actual patient charts:

• Patient was alert and unresponsive
• The lab test indicated abnormal lover function
• The patient has a rash all over his truck
• I saw your patient today who is still under my car for treatment

We must remember that the same human beings that were trained as transcriptionists who TYPED medical records are now joined by those that haven't been trained........hmmmmm, just something to think about.

"Gladys" says.........."Say what you mean, mean what you say, just don't say it mean!!" which also goes for typing ~ so remember to: "Think before you blink & look quick before you click"

I'm "Gladys Friday" ~ hope you are too. Thanks for the emails from those of you that look forward to a little bit of humor on Fridays. Have a great weekend everyone ~

Ripe old age of 102

TRUE STORY:

A friend lived to be the ripe old age of 102 and confided in "Gladys" one day that she really needed to "hurry up and die soon." When "Gladys" asked, "what's your HURRY?" she responded with, "all of my friends passed away a long time ago and they probably all think that I have died and gone somewhere else!!!" (and you KNOW they are ALL TALKING ABOUT IT ~ I'm just sayin')

At her funeral, her daughter said, "I thought Momma would NEVER die!"

Remember to love, live and laugh every day.....even at the ripe old age of 102!
