The King of Pop lives on

Last night, ABC primetime was featuring "Prescription for Death?", an investigation of Michael Jackson's death. A few days after the legend's passing, the news ran headlines shouting that he overdosed on Diprivan. It didn't click with me that Diprivan was Propofol. When I had my internship in the ICU about half a year ago, I heard the word "Propofol" a lot. I read information about about the drug, but I guess I didn't remember much about it. During one of my shifts, when I was shadowing the pharmacist during rounds, the nurses, nurse practioner and pharmacist were having a fit about the large amount of Propofol and Versed a doctor prescribed for a particular patient. The nurse that was taking care of the patient during the time even said she decreased the duration that the amount was entering his system just because she thought the numbers were crazy. The pharmacist signed to lower the guy's dose in the end. Sedations and the amount administered is a big issue in the hospital, so it should be an even bigger deal in the community. I hope they clear up the cause of MJ's death.

American River

Went river rafting for the first time yesterday. 17 people comprising of my cousin's old college friends and their families. I expected more rapids but the river was shallow and calm yesterday. It was fun though. I haven't made close friends since I've started college, but I hope my SF friends and I will get the opportunity to do something adventurous like my cousin's group. The last time they road down the river was 23 years ago. Talk about close friendships.

I regret not bringing my camera out onto the river. I think all of us expected the river to be wild and for everything to get soaked. Well, we did get wet but that was because of our water fights. My umbrellas came in handy for self defense! lol

We had Lee's viet sandwiches and fruit for lunch. Enjoyed a nice BBQ at one of the friend's house in Sac after floating downstream for about 3 hours.

I'm so glad I didn't get sunburned. My legs saw sunlight for the first time in 2(?) years!
