Medical PDA Software

While I do not work as a health professional, I often feel as though I do. Being a full-time family caregiver, I know a lot of information about various drugs and interactions and healthy eating and what drugs can interact with certain foods and...

I sometimes think that I should just get myself a nursing degree and go into nursing, but my love is writing. I sort of fell into the caregiver role, and doubt that I would ever do the things I do for my parents for anyone else. Still, there are a lot of things that I have found over the years that are intended for health care professionals but can translate well into use by family caregivers.

Take the free medical PDA software from Epocrates as an example. Intended to be used by physicians to cross reference possible drug interactions when they are prescribing medications for patients, the medical PDA software can also be used by family caregivers to discreetly double check new prescriptions for possible interactions, dangerous side effects and other concerns before they leave the doctor's office.

In addition to the PDA version, Epocrates has medical software for other devices, such as: Pocket PC, Palm, Windows Mobile. They have also recently launched medical software for Blackberry, and are working with Apple to develop a downloadable guide for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Working outside - yay!

My office has expanded slightly. Well, more or less. I have things set up now so that I can do some work in the front yard when I want to. I spent the day fencing in the front lawn for the puppies using some old fencing and an old dog kennel we have. Also set up the picnic table so I can sit out there and work on my laptop while the puppies play. It is very very nice to finally be able to work outside once again, I was really getting cabin fever being trapped in the house all of the time.

Taxes are so taxing

I got an extension on my taxes, giving me a little longer to get that all sorted out, and now I am glad I did. I found more receipts for business stuff after I filed for the extension. It won't change my final outcome on my taxes, but it will make it a lot better in the long run when I am looking back and using my tax returns as a guide for just how my business has been doing over the years.

Tax season is here

Can you believe that it is April 1st already? Where did the year go? Tax season is not supposed to be upon us this quickly! =-O

I have got to get my office straightened back up from the mess it is in and start organizing things to make it easy to get my taxes done. Right now I am just not feeling up to tackling taxes, even though I know that I have to do it. Need to go into town today, maybe I'll stop in at the library and pick up all the tax books that I will be needing for filling my taxes out this year, get started on that tomorrow morning.

I also have to look up the rules for small business taxes, something that I had not got the chance to do yet no matter that I have intended to since the start of the year.
