There's an old saying onWall Street : Never buy a company's stock in hopes of a buyout. Indeed, most rumored buyouts never even come to pass. Instead, look at the possibility of a buyout as just one of many potential positives when you are assessing a beaten-down stock.
Avoid having a bath as your wound shouldn't be soaked in water until it has healed. Soaking the wound could cause the scar tissue to soften and reopen the wound. Guidelines published by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) say you can have a shower 48 hours after surgery. However, you should check with your surgeon as it may depend on the type of surgery you've had and how your wound has been closed.
NPO before surgery is nonsense. .....or, maybe it isn't. I figured I'd ask those of you that know. How long does it take for a couple of ounces of water to be absorbed? what is the possible hazard of a pt drinking a little water a couple hours prior to surgery? As an ER nurse, I keep my pt's NPO when ordered, but don't really know why. I get why they shouldn't have a cheeseburger and milkshake, but ice chips?
