Chest tubes

Published

I just wanted to share with everyone the not so smart clinical teachers that my school hired.

One day in clinicals i had a patient that had a chest tube. Naturally the teacher wanted to have all of the students see what it looked like. Well as she brought all 18 of us into this poor pt's room. She asks him if it is alright to take a look at his chest tube. So he was nice enough to agree. So she starts out by showing us what it looked like. Then she began to tell us about the constant suctioning container that is contected to it. She tells us "never turn the suction all the way up" (as she is turning it all the way up) "because this will suck up his lungs right into the tube" (remember the patient is right there with us while she is telling us this) You should have seen the look on his face when he told her to "turn the suction machine down then cause i would like to keep my lungs where they are"

The same teacher told us to insert the suppository into the rectum with the flat side going in. The round part of the tip was the side you push it in with.

Here you hold the cap while i stick the needle in. (yeah i almost got a failing grade because i refused to do this)
