  • musicmt - Fabulous book!

    I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who over the past 5 years has changed the way I do my practice to a way more holistic approach. This book was recommended by a colleague and is well worth the money! Great information, well written and is a book that should be read by every medical provider.

  • Slam Bones - Nice, affordable hydrometer

    Put batteries in these bad boys today. Admittedly, because of the price, my expectations were anchored kind of low. All three units worked out of the box and all three range from 47% - 48%. Since I don't own a high end humidity monitor (hydrometer), I cannot attest to their accuracy, although they are within 3% of other hydrometers here. I can attest to consistency (all three within 2% of eachother). They seem to be built solid, look nice (not cheap) and have magnets on the back for flush mounting.
