From complex elements to the simplest of things all have one thing in common, practical thinking. With a technical background I will try to solve or present things that have made a difference in my life in a practical manner.Practically Thinkinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06237568924934024915noreply@blogger.comBlogger11100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2642985614780532034.post-38150337749489237922011-12-28T15:40:00.000-08:002011-12-28T15:40:59.757-08:00As proof to this concept I would like to provide this as an example.&nbsp; This summer I was&nbsp; in the ICU of one of Boston's finest hospitals.&nbsp; My chest cavity was filled with a jell like substance caused by a major infection.&nbsp; The doctors have for the most part placed a toe tag on me.&nbsp; They called my family in North Carolina and told them if they wanted to see me alive they best get on a plane.&nbsp; My wife (who has no medical training)&nbsp; had other ideas.&nbsp; She told the doctors that is the medication that they were giving me could not break-up the infection why not operate and take it out.&nbsp; The idea was rejected by two surgical teams because of my condition and risk of complete shutdown (death) but my wife finally contacted a doctor that would operate.&nbsp; Her thought was this, if the doctors are telling me that he will die because of the infection what is the risk of operating and possibly saving his life.&nbsp; This is a life or death example of practical thinking but I am alive and kicking thanks entirely to her thought process and her ability to put those thoughts into action.&nbsp;<br /><br />This is a the example that got me thinking about everything I do and the practical process that I go through from the applications that I download for my iPad to the things that I do around the house.&nbsp; I hope to share these thoughts with those that follow.&nbsp; If you have any comments or questions please feel free to get in touch with me.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2642985614780532034-3815033774948923792?l=practically-thinking.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Practically Thinkinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06237568924934024915noreply@blogger.com0
