Ask Nurse Carmen

Tuesday, November 07, 2006

I have this strange odor coming from my %$#& what is causing it?

As a nurse i often get friends, strangers and even my own patients ask me to diagnose there ailments, aches, rashes and odors. Half the time i smile and listen intently to there worries and concerns and give them whats called a 'preliminary diagnosis' based on my book knowledge and nursing experience, the rest of the time i tell them "go see or ask your doctor"! I created this blog not only to give my nursing advice to those that may have embarrassing questions that they don't have the guts to ask even their own doctors but to share my sad, amazing, scary and even gross experiences as a nurse on a day to day basis. Eventually i hope to write a book about them and have other nurses and even patients share their experiences with me and with their permission share them with the world! Many of my friends are nurses, doctors,psychologists and fitness and health professionals. So if i cant answer the question, one of them can help me. Feel free to ask anything even if you think its dumb or silly! If you want to share your experiences as nurses or want to ask a fellow nurse a question feel free to respond.If you are or were a patient, share your experiences whether negative or positive or ask any questions you may have. I will try to get a response for you in a day or two. This should be fun!!!!
Yours truly,
Carmen Cossio, R.N, B.S.N
