So, someone please tell me how to get past this last night shift, because I'm not sure how it's possible right now...
1st patient of the night- codes and dies.. Normally would make for a rough night in itself right? It gets worse...
Later in the shift, 4yr old CPR in progress on the way from EMS.. Broken neck caused by step parent.. Suspected sexual assault (turned into obvious sexual assault)... Didn't make it... HORRIBLE NIGHT... Oh, it gets worse..
My colleague has a pt react to contrast, says "give 0.1 of Epi" says the doctor... Nurse (for some crazy reason!) gave it IV not IM and NOT diluted... Causes pt to have an MI and after 3 hrs of working on them, dies...
How is it possible for a shift to go THAT BAD!!!!! I left work feeling completely defeated... Someone please help me to cope with this bc everything feels surreal right now...
