Re: Deputies take credit for medical aid
No, we don't write those types of reports. But, since they did this, I have written a statement that we are going to give to our supervisor.
And yes, your description of the Sheriffs is accurate. I think the academy does something to them, lol!
When I said our supervisors do nothing about it, I actually meant they can't do anything about it. It's their word against ours.
We know what we did, they are not trained medically. We did so much more than they even realize because we were also assessing and checking for things they wouldn't even think about. This was not your expected medical aid with CPR and the AED, it was very unusual. It may only happen to correctional nurses once in a lifetime.
If something had gone wrong, they would be saying we did everything. But since it all went well, with a good outcome, apparently they did it. Oh brother! It makes me sick. Mean rumors and outright lies.
Nothing for us. No pat on the back, nothing.
Thanks for your reply. =)
