Dont ya love when........................

[RheatherN, ASN, RN, EMT-P]

i love to help other ppl, heck thats why we do what we do. but we have a couple we have become pretty close to and they call us yesterday cuz his mom went to hospital. i wont explain, hippa and i want to respect privacy. its just really really bad. (i havnt seen much worse as an army medic, or ma or anything else ihave done in field)

but i feel so bad that i cant help them more. i dont know hx, or anything, and its like a 3rd hand story of what i am sure really happened.

i cried when they left because they kept asking me questions..just things i probably wouldnt know anyhow, hell, the md's dont even know. it made me feel good that i could explain a few things, but i kept telling them both, dont expect (+) or (-). to talk to her, hold her hand, be there, she does know you are there. they told me that when the md walked out after telling this entire family she cant hear you, the nurse make sure the md was gone, and said f that, she can hear you! so that made me feel good that i was "right". i do feel horrible i cant tell them anything, but i also want to know more myself. its the nurse thing in me..

it felt good in a way, but it gets to be "old" shall we say, when every single person that knows you are almost a nurse asks you everything.. heck, when i just started school ppl were doing that.. and cuz i worked at a clinic a long time.

but i just feel so bad, i know i shouldnt be upset, its not like everyone working on the case knows anything, but i still feel bad.

thanks everyone!! i just needed to vent a bit..

-h-

thanks for always being there allnurses.com!!
