Ouch
So last night around 10 pm my stomach started hurting. RUQ, just right of center, shallow and under my rib cage. A couple weeks ago I had the same pain, but it was less intense and I dismissed it as a strained muscle or gas, whatever.
But last night hurt. A lot. So of course I was thinking gallbladder. But although it was painful, I expected gallbladder pain to be much worse. I thought about going to the ER, but I would wayyy rather be miserable in my own bed than miserable in an ER waiting room... so I meditated my way back to sleep (see? the course came in handy after all!). By 4 am the pain woke me up, and I was COLD. So I took a hot bath and tried to fall back asleep. I woke up at 9 and headed to the hospital for bloodwork and an ultrasound.
After my ultrasound, the following conversation took place:
Me: So did you see anything blatantly abnormal?
U.S. tech: You have to discuss that with your doctor.
Me: Hmmm. That doesn't sound good (laughing)
U.S. Tech: silence and a stare
Me: O-kaaaayyyy, then
U.S. Tech: I can tell you if it was really really bad I wouldn't let you leave right now
Me: (silently) What the EFF does that mean???

Antibiotics Should Only Be Used For Bacterial Infections
Antibiotics Should Only Be Used For Bacterial Infections. Prescribing antibiotics to treat respiratory tract infections has dropped significantly in recent years, a new study has found.
That's mainly the result of fewer young children being seen for ear infections, according to the researchers. But despite a decline overall, prescriptions for broad-spectrum antibiotics, such as azithromycin (Zithromax), and anti-microbial agents known as quinolones have increased, they reported. Such drugs are used to fight more serious infections, such as MRSA and other resistant bacteria.
"There is good news about declining antibiotic use, since inappropriate use of antibiotics can result in bacteria that are resistant to these antibiotics," said Dr. Marie R. Griffin, a professor of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and a co-author of the study. "However, overuse of powerful antibiotics remains a problem."
"Antibiotics should only be used for bacterial infections, and heavy-duty antibiotics should be saved for serious infections," Griffin said.
Over the last 12 years, she said, use of antibiotics in children has declined 36 percent. "This is mainly due to educational efforts to reduce inappropriate use of antibiotics for viral infections and to a new vaccine -- pneumococcal conjugate vaccine for infants, which has reduced ear infections in children," she said.
For the study, which is published in the Aug. 19 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, the researchers looked at the trends in prescriptions for antibiotics from 1995 to 2006, using data from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey and the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey.
They found that medical visits for ear infections among children younger than 5 declined 17 percent in that time, and antibiotic prescription rates dropped 27 percent.
The study attributed the decrease to a 36 percent reduction in antibiotic prescriptions for respiratory tract infections. Rate of doctor visits for ear infections fell 33 percent over the study period, and rates of antibiotic prescriptions specifically for ear infections fell 36 percent, the researchers found.
Among those 5 and older, doctor visits for respiratory tract infections remained about the same, but antibiotic prescription rates for those infections dropped18 percent. Prescription rates for antibiotics for other conditions for which antibiotics are rarely indicated dropped 24 percent in this age group, the study found.
In the past decade, initiatives in the United States have urged the judicious use of antibiotics, particularly for acute respiratory tract infection, which is a common reason for people to see a doctor and a frequent reason for antibiotic prescriptions, especially for young children, the researchers noted.
The use and misuse of antibiotics can increase the likelihood that bacteria will become resistant to antibiotics. Infections caused by antibiotic-resistant microorganisms have been associated with increased illness, death and substantial costs, the researchers said.
Dr. Stuart B. Levy, president of the Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics and a professor of medicine, molecular biology and microbiology at Tufts University School of Medicine, said he thinks the trend toward less antibiotic use is encouraging.
"It's a wonderful finding," Levy said. "The message is getting out there. There is a major thrust in the appropriate use of antibiotics -- the realization that if we reduce the use of antibiotics, we will reduce the levels of resistance."
Levy added that it also has become easier for doctors to tell patients they don't need antibiotics.
"Now patients are saying: 'If I don't need the antibiotic, why should I take it?' That is a good sign," he said.
People are getting the message that "antibiotics are not cure-alls, and a consequence of antibiotic usage and misuse is the resistance that emerges," Levy said. ( HealthDay News)

Managing Depression during Pregnancy and Lactation
by Melissa Garvey, ACNM Writer and EditorBetween shifts at the information booth and shadowing the photographer, I was lucky enough to sample a few of the great education sessions on tap at this year’s ACNM Annual Meeting. I was most looking forward to meeting fellow bloggers Mary Murry, Amie Newman, and Amy Romano, but I also managed to slip into “Psychiatric Medications in Pregnant and
Summer Continued...
So lets discuss all I have done this summer. Well, that's about it. Lol. No, seriously. I've re-done some furniture, been swimming a few times, been training for my marathon (which is going well, actually), procrastinated studying for my make-up physio exams, and dropped out of my Buddhist retreat. Bleh. That's a decent story.... here goes.
So my friend Kiluam went on and on about how I should go to this retreat since I am interested in Buddhism and meditation. 10 days. He did it and said it was awesome. I was a little nervous but he kept assuring me that I would love it. I purposely didn't research it bc I didn't want other's opinions to influence me. So about 2 weeks ago I drove to the Dallas area for the retreat. 10 days. 10 hours of meditation per day. No talking. No phones. No reading. No journaling. No exercise. No eating after 12 noon. No sweat? The eating thing made me nervous... but other than that I was pretty game.
When I got there I was fine. The place was nice, I had my own room, the food was good. I wasn't hungry, either. They were however, adamant that we promise to stay all 10 days. In order to give the mediation technique a fair shake. Ok, fair enough. No sweat. The first evening of meditation was nice, and the whole next day was ok, too. Silence. Meditation. Mindful eating. But 10 hours was still 10 hours. A lot. You wake up at 4:00 am, meditate 2 hours, eat breakfast at 6:30 am, mediate 'till 11. Eat lunch. Mediate 'till bedtime essentially .By the 3rd day fatigue started really setting in and I was fighting to stay awake during my mediations. It was a horrible day. All day I was fantasizing about sleep. By the time the evening rolled around I was exhausted, and trying to convince myself not to quit. But that inner discussion kept me from sleeping, which made me panic more, because I simply could not face another full day of fighting fatigue. Frankly, driving 500 miles home seemed less daunting than trying to keep it together for another full 10 hours of mediation.
So at 3:00 in the morning, a full hour before the morning gong is rung, I snuck out. I strapped all my belongings to me so I didn't have to make 2 trips, and I left like a thief in the night. Like escape from Alcatraz. I hiked to the parking lot, wheeling my suitcase off the sidewalk in the grass as to not make any noise. When I finally reached my car, I realized someone blocked me in. Luckily I have a jeep. I threw my shit in, off roaded out of the parking lot, and left.
Once I had re-gained consciousness after a few hours nap, I realized how mad I was at myself. It really was a great opportunity. And I really liked a lot of things that were said at the retreat. But I wussed out bc of sleep. When I got home I googled the course, and to my relief found literally hundreds of other people who left the course at the same time for the same reasons that I did. Which validated me. A little. Maybe I'll try again someday when I am more prepared. But probably not. I'm content to stick to my current 30-90 minutes of mediation per day.

A Very Angry Patient
Many times on this blog I have posted about nursing cadets and apprentices. These are the untrained 16 year old kids without a shred of nursing knowledge that the hospitals are hiring these days instead of real Nurses. The real Nurses (the few of us that there are) are just running between too many patients because the cadets can do so little.
I have worked with a couple of cadets who are diamonds in a sea of shit. There is no knowledge there but they were mature for their ages, hellbent on becoming good nurses someday,and willing to learn.
The rest of them suck. And they don't care either. They don't want to become Nurses. They just want a few quid to go out with and the hospital pays them slightly more than McDonald's. The immaturity and attitude problems are unbelievable. They are not vetted properly. How I miss my older, experienced health care assistants who are mostly gone. How I miss all the experienced Real Nurses who have left and not been replaced by other Real Nurses. I could cry when I come onto shift with no one but inexperienced cadets who cannot do anything to "help". The public assumes that these kids are some kind of Nurse or something as they are wearing uniforms and handing out bedpans. Therefore the patients and visitors are not realising the true extant of the staffing problems.
One of these cadets really fucked off a patient and her husband. Let me tell you what happened. I wasn't on my usual ward but had been moved to another for the day as they had no staff. Neither did my ward but I was still taken from it for the day. *Details all changed as I comply with Hippa and always maintain confidentiality.
Older lady with congestive cardiac failure. Very swollen, very little output. Given massive amounts of Furosemide, a diuretic which makes a person wee for England. This drug helps their bodies get rid of all that excess fluid that is making it hard to breathe. Google congestive cardiac failure, fluid overload, and furosemide if you are confused. I don't want to explain it all on this post. We also keep these patients on fluid restrictions. Therefore they are not taking that much oral fluid.
The third time this nice lady rang her call bell for a commode to pass urine she expressed to me her worries that she was "being a pain, a right nuisance".
I reassured her that she most certainly was not a pain. I told her that it was an excellent thing that she was passing so much urine because it shows us that the drugs are working and her condition is improving. She had other medical problems in addition to failure that was making her short of breath. I also reassured her that she did right in ringing for a commode rather than trying to walk all the way down the hall to the toilets. I reinforced the need for the fluid restriction to keep her from any further overload. I was happy with the patient. She seemed happy with me. All good.
Lovely lady, no trouble at all. Not a bit.
I had 20 other patients and was caring for them when this nice lady rang again for a commode. Vikki Pollard, a 17 year old cadet (NOT A NURSE or even a trainee nurse) who was busted recently for 20 smoke breaks a shift answered her bell.
Vikki was the only other person I was working with for this group of 20 patients. Vikki did not want to be at work. She has no interest in nursing and never plans on becoming a nurse. She wants a paycheck. It was very easy for her to get a job at the hospital since the trust has decided to hire people like Vikki rather than actual Nurses. Vikki has no knowledge of CCF, diuretic medications, respiratory problems, congestive cardiac failure etc etc.
So Vikki answered this lady's call bell about 30 minutes after I was out of the room and said this to the patient:
"OMG I can't believe you are ringing again. Why can't you be bothered to get up and walk to the bathroom. Stop drinking so much if it makes you wee like that".
Vikki of course had sat through handover with me that morning. She heard that the patient was a CCFer on diuretics etc etc. That fluids were a bit restricted etc etc. But Vikki sleeps through handover and none of that information registers with her. There is so much of this information about all the patients that I am caring for that it is physically impossible for me to stay on top of Vikki's whereabouts and explain it all to her.
The next time I went into the patient's room she was quiet and didn't say very much. When her husband came into visit she unloaded to him. He cornered me and let loose wanting to know why some "young nurse" spoke to his wife that way 30 minutes after another nurse told her that passing urine so much and ringing for a commode was fine.
"You people don't know what you are doing"
"That young nurse as an abomination and should be struck off, so much for educating nurses at Uni"
"My wife is very hurt". (feelings)
Was he wrong? Only in the fact that he thought Vikki was a nurse and believed she could be struck off. She isn't actually a nurse so she isn't registered with any professional body to be struck off from. She certainly hasn't had nurse training or ever attended university. It takes an education to understand the situation of these patients and be truly compassionate. I will most likely take the heat for this as I am the one with the nurse registration. The trust doesn't want to lose the cheap untrained labour. But they want to lose qualified nurses.
What could I say to this man? Other than apologising and agreeing with him what could I say to make it better? I can't deflect all responsibility onto Vikki Pollard because I am the patient's nurse. I did try to explain to the husband that Vikki was an assistant and not a nurse and therefore she did not understand the situation. But there is no excuse for the way she spoke to the patient and I agreed with him on that. I spoke to the chief nurse about it all. Nothing has been done. They are still reducing the number of qualified nurses at ward level (both old and new trained) in favour of these young kids and novices. Both the older trained and new uni nurses are on their knees being so few in number and they cannot find jobs on the wards.
What to do what to do.
This is where the argument that nurses are "uncaring as a result of being university educated " Falls apart. I studied so much pathophysiology and pharmacology in nursing school that I understood this patient's situation completely (from a nursing, if not a medical perspective). Had this lady rang her bell 50 times an hour to pee my knowledge would have allowed me understand why and demonstrate compassion as a result of that understanding. Poorly educated and poorly trained carers are more likely to lose their rag with these patients as well as very demanding patients because of their lack of knowledge.
But thanks to the likes of Melanie Phillips, Frank Field, Iain Dale, and Minette Marin, the hospitals will continue to get away with poorly educated carers in the place of nurses. And not only that, but we will have poorly educated old fashioned trained nurses who cannot deal with the demands of modern patient acuity. * Edit They would be able to handle it if they had decades of experience under their belts. But new recruits to nursing will not have that, or the support that the nurse's who trained in the 70's had. This is due to poor staffing. If some of these self professed nursing and nurse education experts (who have never studied nursing , let alone understand what a nurse actually is) get their way and remove nurse training from university the hospitals will be even more full of Vikki Pollards as both qualified and unqualified staff in the future.
What to do what to do.

How to Find Autism From Babies - Autism Infant Characteristics
Autism Infant characteristics
Patients with autism can be recognized Since Birth - autistic children have some symptoms that can be recognized since they were born. When he was three years old, the symptoms are more evident.
Similarly submitted by Roselyn Saez, children with special needs practitioners, Linguistic Indonesian Council seminar "Your Child Is Special" at Menara Kuningan, Jakarta.
Similarly submitted by Roselyn Saez, practitioners special needs children, autistic patients have several characteristics such as difficulty communicating and socializing. Autism do not know how to express joy or sadness. They also do not know how to communicate.
"An autistic child does not know how to call his mother, they'll hurt himself, hitting him until his mother comes, that's one way they called her mother," said Roselyn.
According to Roselyn, autism often spoke in a monotone and expressionless. Sometimes they repeat the words of other people that they hear, or commonly called echolalia.
Apart from weak communication, autism is often acting weird like always repeat the same activities every day. "For instance, they wear school uniforms. First wear clothes, both wear the pants, the third wearing shoes, always regularly because they are difficult to organize," says Roselyn.
Roselyn also gave an example, an autistic student has no fear of danger. "A student who was two years old I like to go up to the fourth floor, leaned down, just to get a sensation of horror, he did not know it was dangerous," he said.
In addition, children with autism also have excessive obsession with something. For example, they obsess on the numbers, then they will continue to pay attention to the numbers, or obsessing on a rope, they will memaimkan rope continuously. "People with autism are also sensitive to the touch. They can hurt just because of the small touches," he said.
However, there are unique advantages autistic children. They can recall in detail, and accurate information. Their visual memory is also very good and able to concentrate on certain subjects or work in a long period.
Children with autism require special care and handling from an early age. There are several treatment that can be done such as providing specialized education, such as occupational therapy for stroke patient therapy, speech therapy and language therapy, physical therapy to train
their muscles, applied behavioral analysis to help recognize behaviors which positively or negatively, picture exchange communication system, which is a method of learning through pictures, expressing words through pictures that easily captured autism.
Roselyn also said there is no exact cause of autistic children. Could be due to environmental or health patterns of the mother during pregnancy, can also influence gene. "Unkown, is not known precisely because of various reasons," says Roselyn.
Seminar on "Your Child Is Special" introduces some features of children with special needs, education, and how to build a good relationship with them. This seminar was organized by the Indonesian Council in collaboration with the Linguistic Shining Stars, Brass Family and Community Center, and HOPE Worldwide Indonesia.

Essential first steps to improve rural health in Nicaragua
Student-faculty collaboration enhances multidisciplinary project
No one understands that “A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step” better than Elizabeth Keech, PhD, RN and Ruth McDermott-Levy, PhD, RN. Both are assistant professors at Villanova University College of Nursing and are passionate about helping the underserved people of Waslala, Nicaragua access and receive appropriate health care. Their steps on a recent week-long visit in May included carefully taken ones as they trekked through mountainous terrain and waded across a river during rainy season. Why? They and four nursing students were taking another first step, assessing the specific needs of CHW (community health workers) for a collaborative project “Improved Rural Health Care Through Low-cost Telecommunication in Waslala, Nicaragua.”
The nurses are working with faculty and students from the College of Engineering and Villanova School of Business. Using inexpensive cell phone text messaging capability, the nurses and engineers will be working with CHWs and licensed health care providers in Waslala to transmit health information from rural villages to the small community hospital in the town. Their business colleagues are investigating business opportunities created by the introduction of the new technology. The nurses and engineers are building on the presence they have maintained in Waslala for several years promoting health and working towards a safe water supply.
Because of lack of infrastructure and health care providers, as well as the distance from the hospital, those in the rural communities often do not receive health care in a timely manner. This project will connect the CHWs with licensed health care providers to provide “real time” care and information. Through text messaging from the CHW and a clinical algorithm system, patients with conditions such as high blood pressure will be flagged for review by a licensed provider at the hospital who can direct the on-site CHW to treat the patient or bring him in for care. The CHW can also text distant pharmacies for medications as needed which can then be delivered to the patient.
Dr. McDermott-Levy conducted CHW interviews for a qualitative study, with senior nursing student Katie Wetherby and the translation assistance of student Fruna Lara, a nurse from Venezuela who is completing her bachelor of science in nursing degree at Villanova. They were identifying the learning needs of the CHWs, as well as their understanding of the health issues of their region, to help support this and future programs. “I was impressed with the under-resourced community health workers’ ability to provide appropriate care with the available resources given their education, knowledge of pathophysiology, and lack of references and diagnostic tools,” says Dr. McDermott-Levy of the care provided in these highly cohesive communities. Two other seniors, Becky LaMarca and Caitlin Krenek helped conduct or observed the interviews. The nurses also shadowed a CHW overnight in her home where she treated several children and adults who had burns or infections. In addition, they conducted a focus group with 14 CHWs and, along with campus colleagues, met with the medical director of the Waslala hospital, priests, local officials and the Director of the School of Public Health in the National University, Managua to gain support and collect more information.
Becky is doing an independent study working with the faculty to create the algorithm for child growth and development so that data can be recorded in Waslala. Caitlin is collaborating with Dr. Keech to determine outcome measures for the project—a difficult task in an environment where data such as births and deaths are not consistently and broadly captured. They first need to build that foundation of health records before comparisons can be made as the project progresses. “The need is really desperate,” says Dr. Keech, describing why she is involved. “Those who live in the rural areas of Nicaragua just don’t have access for emergent health problems or for those that can be managed without a trip to the hospital by getting a consultation via the cellular technology.” The group plans to return to Nicaragua in the fall semester to begin the pilot phase of the project. Dr. Keech summarizes how essential their work is to the future health of the Waslala community, “If the people could only make a phone call…”

Treatment for Rheumatic Heart Disease
Rheumatic Heart Disease Treatment
Specific treatment for rheumatic heart disease will be determined by your child's physician based on :
The best treatment for rheumatic heart disease is prevention. Antibiotics can usually treat strep throat (a Streptococcus bacterial infection) and stop acute rheumatic fever from developing. Antibiotic therapy has sharply reduced the incidence and mortality rate of rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease.
Children who have previously contracted rheumatic fever are often given continuous (daily or monthly) antibiotic treatments to prevent future attacks of rheumatic fever and lower the risk of heart damage.
If inflammation of the heart has developed, children may be placed on bed rest. Medications are given to reduce the inflammation, as well as antibiotics to treat the Streptococcus infection. Other medications may be necessary to handle congestive heart failure.
If heart valve damage occurs, surgical repair or replacement of the valve may be considered.

Radiology
Radiology is the branch of medicine that uses radioactive substances, electromagnetic radiation, and sound waves to create images of the body, its organs, and structures for the purpose of diagnosis and Female Doctor viewing X-raytreatment. Images can also show how effectively the body and its internal organs and structures are functioning.
Radiology was discovered a little over 100 years ago and has evolved into a high-tech science with state-of-the-art equipment to aid in imaging every aspect of the body.
While there has been concern over the potential harmful side effects associated with the use of radiation, it is believed that the small risks are greatly outweighed by the information gained about patients' conditions and radiology's contribution to medical science.
Radiology offers both diagnostic and therapeutic services. The specialty areas of radiology include the following :
- Diagnostic Radiology - An area of radiology that uses external radiation to produce images of the body, its organs, and other internal structures for medical diagnostic purposes.
- Nuclear Medicine - A specialized area of diagnostic radiology that uses very small amounts of radioactive materials to create an image of the body, its organ functions, and structure, for diagnostic and treatment purposes.
- Therapeutic Radiology (Radiation Oncology) - A specialized area of radiology that uses applications of radiant energy to study, treat, and manage cancer and other diseases.
- Interventional Radiology - A specialized area of radiology that uses various imaging techniques to guide the insertion of small instruments and tools through the body to identify and treat a medical disorder without requiring conventional surgery.

Interruptions and Medication Errors
MONDAY, April 26 (HealthDay News) -- Distracting an airline pilot during taxi, takeoff or landing could lead to a critical error. Apparently the same is true of nurses who prepare and administer medication to hospital patients.
Duh.
A new study shows that interrupting nurses while they're tending to patients' medication needs increases the chances of error. As the number of distractions increases, so do the number of errors and the risk to patient safety.
Duh.
"We found that the more interruptions a nurse received while administering a drug to a specific patient, the greater the risk of a serious error occurring," said the study's lead author, Johanna I. Westbrook, director of the Health Informatics Research and Evaluation Unit at the University of Sydney in Australia.
Duh.
For instance, four interruptions in the course of a single drug administration doubled the likelihood that the patient would experience a major mishap, according to the study, reported in the April 26 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Ha. I will have about 38 interruption during the course of the 0800 drug round.
Experts say the study is the first to show a clear association between interruptions and medication errors.
It "lends important evidence to identifying the contributing factors and circumstances that can lead to a medication error," said Carol Keohane, program director for the Center of Excellence for Patient Safety Research and Practice at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
"Patients and family members don't understand that it's dangerous to patient safety to interrupt nurses while they're working," added Linda Flynn, associate professor at the University of Maryland School of Nursing in Baltimore. "I have seen my own family members go out and interrupt the nurse when she's standing at a medication cart to ask for an extra towel or something [else] inappropriate."
Yeah you're telling me.
Julie Kliger, who serves as program director of the Integrated Nurse Leadership Program at the University of California, San Francisco, said that administering medication has become so routine that everyone involved -- nurses, health-care workers, patients and families -- has become complacent."We need to reframe this in a new light, which is, it's an important, critical function," Kliger said. "We need to give it the respect that it is due because it is high volume, high risk and, if we don't do it right, there's patient harm and it costs money."
Yeah one problem with that. The public (who cannot see both sides of the issue will accuse us of "lacking in compassion" for prioritising patient safety over customer service for visitors.
About one-third of harmful medication errors occur during medication administration, studies show. Prior to this study, though, there was little if any data on what role interruptions might play.
For the study, the researchers observed 98 nurses preparing and administering 4,271 medications to 720 patients at two Sydney teaching hospitals from September 2006 through March 2008. Using handheld computers, the observers recorded nursing procedures during medication administration, details of the medication administered and the number of interruptions experienced.
The computer software allowed data to be collected on multiple drugs and on multiple patients even as nurses moved between drug preparation and administration and among patients during a medication round.
Errors were classified as either "procedural failures," such as failing to read the medication label, or "clinical errors," such as giving the wrong drug or wrong dose.
Only one in five drug administrations (19.8%) was completely error-free, the study found.
Interruptions occurred during more than half (53.1%) of all administrations, and each interruption was associated with a 12.1% increase, on average, in procedural failures and a 12.7% increase in clinical errors.
Most errors (79.3%) were minor, having little or no impact on patients, according to the study. However, 115 errors (2.7%) were considered major errors, and all of them were clinical errors.
Failing to check a patient's identification against his or her medication chart and administering medication at the wrong time were the most common procedural and clinical glitches, respectively, the study reported.
In an accompanying editorial, Kliger described one potential remedy: A "protected hour" during which nurses would focus on medication administration without having to do such things as take phone calls or answer pages.
The idea, Kliger said, is based on the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration's "sterile cockpit" rule. That rule, according to the Aviation Safety Reporting System, prohibits non-essential activities and conversations with the flight crew during taxi, takeoff, landing and all flight operations below 10,000 feet, except when the safe operation of the aircraft is at stake.
Likewise, in nursing, not all interruptions are bad, Westbrook added. "If you are being given a drug and you do not know what it is for, or you are uncertain about it, you should interrupt and question the nurse," she said.
So does anyone want to come on here and tell me that airline pilots are lacking in compassion because they won't converse with the passengers during take off? Oh wait. You have respect for airline pilots and understand that they have a lot of responsibility and that there are grave consequences when they make errors. You don't understand this about registered nurses. Nor do you have that kind of respect for doctors anymore.
When one junior doctor is running between over 250 patients you throw tantrums when he won't immediately drop what he is doing to speak to you. Again. When it takes him 4 hours to meet with you because he has critically ill patients on this 16 hour shift of his you call him lazy.
Try that to get away with that rubbish next time you are on a passenger jet. Start screaming at the stewardess and demand that the pilots come and speak to you this minute....do this just as they are doing their pre flight checks. Yell and carry on that the airline staff are lacking and compassion and uncaring because they won't meet your demands. Justify it by saying that you are "scared" and "stressed".You will be on the floor, belly down and handcuffed with an airmarshalls boot on your back before anyone can say "obnoxious ". This is because the airlines put SAFETY as a priority over CUSTOMER SERVICE and there are punishments for those in charge at management level. Hospitals don't do this. That is why thousands of people die needlessly every year in hospitals and are hardly EVER dying needlessly 30,000 feet above the atlantic ocean packed like sardines in a flying missle carrying fuckloads of flammable fuel.
Go ahead. I double dare you. Interrupt a stewardess while she is doing the airline safety demo and demand a ginger ale. When she says "no". Roll you eyes, tell her she is lazy and tell her bosses she couldn't "be bothered". The airline will deal with you if you act like that. Stewardesses are in a situation where it is very unlikely that anything will go wrong. In hospitals is very likely that things will go wrong. Yet they have these kinds of protections and they also have ratio laws that limit the number of passengers per stewardesses. Nurses have no control over the number of patients they are responsible for whilst on duty.
I wonder how much of this lack of respect for hospital staff is down to medical dramas that depict nurses as a gaggle of people standing around the nurses station who have nothing to do but wait for a visitor or a patient to require service. They depict one patient that has a team of doctors at his bedside at all times carrying out all bedside care i.e. monitoring vent settings and drip calculations. No wonder the public's mind is warped. No wonder they get pissed off at the staff. Over at allnurses many of the nurses are saying that the only way to get through and keep your patients safe is to avoid all eye contact with the relatives and keep moving. This isn't because of the reseasonable visitors who ask questions and mention concerns. It is because of the visitors who are unreasonable and who are not kicked into line by management. Everybody suffers...the patients....the good relatives....and the Nurses and Doctors. I think they have a bigger problem with these kinds of relatives across the pond.
Even without interruptions the number of mistakes are rife. I would be willing to bet that most of those are down to the Nurse rushing to get everything done for too many patients rather than nurse incompetence. Then you have to take into account that the RN has to take over pharmacy, physio, housekeeping, and clerking duties when they are short staffed. The short cuts we have to take are unreal. And we are still not giving the patients the amount of time that they expect.
I wonder if Virgin Atlantic hires RN's? I wouldn't mind an Air Marshall to have my back when I am at work. Should I talk about violence against staff in my next post along with our lack of security guards or do you want to hear about the young low paid not yet a care assistant who really REALLY angered a patient? All without breaching confidentiallity of course.
