information implants.

i'd like to think that one day, 

we will have the capability to stick information straight into our brains.  

like a microchip for my computer, stored with all the drug information i will need as a nurse.

or an implant.  similar to a breast implant, but without being so ostentatious.

that would be nice.  just sign me up for that fast-track nursing school. 

one surgery, 5 implants, 

no studying necessary.

wouldn't information implants be so nice?

until that day, however, 

i still have to study.  study hard i must.

all the intricacies of nursing care must be carefully arranged in the cobweb-filled shelves that are my brain.

i must think critically when a patient in my care suddenly develops compartment syndrome.

i must know:

the signs and symptoms {pain, paralysis, pallor, paresthesias, and.... oh what are the other two??}

the causes {increased bloodflow or crushing injuries, not pleasant}

and the treatments {which is a fasciotomy, if you must know}.

maybe one day, after i have worked several years as a nurse, 

i will be able to dedicate my life to developing said information implants.

nobel prize - here i come!
