Does the White House need new nurses?????
Futher Muckers.
Let Vendome at them for say . . . 15 minutes?
I will unmcerciously make the pain and fear known to them in a fashion that is elevated above what they did to this poor woman.
I spent the last 5 years in and out of Hospitals.
All kinds of noise from patients for a variety of reasons.
You just block it out.
I’d beat them with dusty chalk erasures.
Not the little ones, mind you. But the big tan ones used for cleaning a chalk board.
When I knocked all the chalk out of the erasures I’d put em talcum powder and keep on going.....
I haven't spoken to my wife in over three months...we're not fighting, I just don't like to interrupt.
(She loves these jokes! )
Hydrocodone? I had a horrible reaction to it last Saturday. On the list of “Side Effects” they called it “Excitability.” Yeah! Right! It was like I was shot into high speed orbit! “Rare serious side effects are depression, ringing in the ears, high blood pressure, elevated pulse rate, itching, muscle stiffness, “ All that, and I only took 1/2 dose. Broken ribs and coughing. My doc went on vacation after phoning in the script.
Something is wrong with this story....
Patients with nausea and neck pain are not admitted to the ICU.
The rehab center where my DIL works can’t accept any new patients until Jan. 31 because the nursing staff flunked a state inspection. Two nurses were caught sleeping in hospital beds, they were feeding a patient solid food when she was supposed to be on pureed food, lots and lots of violations.
The PT and OT staff got a 97% but they will all suffer because of the nurses who are still neglecting their duties which are often done by the PT and OT staffs just because it is to their patients best interests.
I am so sick of this typical PR boilerplate BS. "We are fully committed to providing quality and compassionate care"... except when the staff decides it's amusing to duct tape patients mouths shut.
While I’ve often imagined myself with two nurses and a roll of tape, this wasn’t one of the scenarios.
I wonder if this is true, or if it is a “kaching” thing.
If true, it Sounds like the woman was a druggie in withdrawal, (no one is hospitalized for “neck pain” nowadays)....and the nurses have had it with her acting out...and with the nurses shortage, unless you’ve seen how disruptive patients can put you over the top when you’ve worked two shifts and missed meals and breaks because there is too much work to do...
But as I said: The whole story sounds suspicious.
for example: what did they use to “tape her mouth shut”? Paper tape? Adhesive tape is not the sticky stuff of the old days: Nowadays it’s easy to remove without removing the sking...Were her hands restrained so she couldn’t pull it off?
There are strict protocols for using restraints nowadays.
We have a large enough family that when one of us is in the hospital, it is a rare hour that goes by without a family member present. I remember reading somewhere that that tends to increase the odds of a successful outcome to treatment as well.
