In pursuit of evidence based, scientific medicine with standard, proven approaches that can be replicated the Fathers of Medicine decided to implement care bundles. They said, "If you do this set of preventative care activities for surgery, when caring for a urinary or central line catheter, or what have you, your patient will do better. We have studied it, we have tried it and here are our results."
In my meager understanding of science, you test one hypothesis and control for all the other variables. Not in medicine, because Grandma's life is on the table, we tend to throw everything we had at the problem. SO it goes away right. Give a fever enough anti-pyretic and guess what it will go away! But the underlying infection will not. Anyway, I am not a doctor by the way. I just look at their work after they are done...hence the cynicism.
I was wound up the last 3 or 4 days. I was on the edge. For my various reasons I went to work and focused hard on my work. Did my school work intently and came home tight lipped, lid shut. More school work and a few absolutely necessary words to my wife and that was it. I prayed about it, I got paid and I was told my assignment was not due today anyway. I am good now! I just threw a care bundle on my problem.
Laugh with me.
