When Nightingales sing Night becomes Day!

Infective Endocarditis is always serious and life threatening. More often we discuss it more aware we shall be as missing the diagnosis has fatal consequences. Our stalwart nurses at Tennur. Emalda Mary, nurse in charge, and Lamya Begum, staff nurse, once again alert us on the perils of IE.

Bull gore injury is unique to Tamil Nadu. The patient with a serious abdominal injury was fortunate to receive nutritional support from clinical dieticians Snekapriya and Bhuvaneswari, Kauvery Specialty Hospital, Trichy.

Also from Specialty Hospital comes a vivid report on plastic and reconstructive surgery – a free flap to cover a large defect in skin cover, from Vimala, Nursing in charge, Cecily Ruba, Nurse Educator and Mahalakshmi, Nursing Superintendent.

Loganayaki, Assistant Nursing Superintendent, Kauvery Hosur, shares a mother”s happiness at the “cry of her precious baby” .

Our watchful and wary Clinical Pharmacists are committed to patient safety and continuous learning to make them safer. Two of them write in this issue, Kowalya from Hosur and Krishnamoorthy from Trichy.

Mandhra, our nurse from Vadapalani, soars high into the sky as a flying angel and flashes her experience through her joyous words.

Dr .Augustin Sylvesterstallone from Business Excellence writes to us on the Kauvery Journey of continuous improvement.

Naturally, 5S follows that, but poetically on this occasion. The last to sing is always our poet Nightingale, Balasubramani from Salem.

Do hear, and sing with the Kauvery Nightingales
