Fluids & Electrolytes

Did anyone know that one could listen to two hours of lecture, online, about this? This is after reading 30...or maybe it's 20 pages in the dreaded Lewis textbook. Can you tell I'm mind-numb? Let me assure you though, you do NOT want to have a fluid & electrolyte imbalance. I had already known this, of course, from my time served on the Renal Floor at Hillcrest Medical Center (5 tower). Terrible, horrible things can happen. Part of this I watched occur in my dad during his illness. It's a sad sight. Make sure you drink enough fluid & watch your diet, people!
