   Actually, my nurse shirt says "I'm a nurse, if you Fib, I will paddle you".

3. Medical errors the 3rd leading cause of death??

   Oh, and BTW, here is the program I had seen on CNN the other day. I claim no rights to this. It belongs to CNN.

4. Medical errors the 3rd leading cause of death??

   ShaneTeam replied to ShaneTeam's topic in Headlines

   I still think it would be Ferguson syndrome all over again. All I would like to see from this is an accurate way to track the info, and a system put in place to use that info to help fix the problems. As you are alluding to, misdiagnosis does happe...

5. Medical errors the 3rd leading cause of death??

   ShaneTeam replied to ShaneTeam's topic in Headlines

   Again, on a side note, more networks seem to be putting their spin on this. 5/25/16 Headline news had a special called "Top 25 Medical Errors". It was a 60 minute show.

6. Medical errors the 3rd leading cause of death??

   ShaneTeam replied to ShaneTeam's topic in Headlines

   I disagree. That would be the exact opposite of what is needed. I still feel if they are willing to shell out money for other causes of death, why not this? The doctors and nurses are human. Thankfully, most of our mistakes don't kill. It still ...

7. Medical errors the 3rd leading cause of death??

   ShaneTeam replied to ShaneTeam's topic in Headlines

   And, the weird thing is, we are only talking about a 1.6% error rate. I, personally, would just like to see the type of funds going to reduce the numbers of mistakes. Oh, and on a side note, if you watch House, it shows 3 or 4 medical errors before p...

8. Disrespectful patient

   ShaneTeam replied to hwknrs's topic in Relations

   The 1:1, plus if they started tanking. The floor had a census of 8:1, while the unit is closed half the time. The board just felt it was safer. Then they would be assessed by the county mental health agent in the AM, then either sent to the state hos...

9. Disrespectful patient

   ShaneTeam replied to hwknrs's topic in Relations

   Huh. Looks like it depends on where you work. Where I work, if the county MH person can not make it to assess them at that time, usually over 5 hours wait time, the patient is admitted to ICU. But, our hospital is a small, rural hospital. They would ...

10. Disrespectful patient

    ShaneTeam replied to hwknrs's topic in Relations

    Lol, I was wondering if anyone else was going to catch that. Which means if the OP would look at the information coming from ED, she would have found most of the information she needed, and would probably not have gotten upset with the patient in the...

    Nothing from either job.

    I have. Though it has been many years ago.

    Just remember to ask a question.

14. Medical errors the 3rd leading cause of death??

    ShaneTeam replied to ShaneTeam's topic in Headlines

    Quite agree Macawake. There is not a procedure that is done that is 100% safe. I also applaud what the researchers are trying to do, and still feel the system needs to have some way to look at the errors, so that best practices can be changed, if t...

    Did the same with my wife, so she would understand what was going on in the new movie.
