:heartbeat i worked in the trauma unit with my sister the rn
i was her teck , they called a level 2 trauma and it was a head case . a young man that was on his motorcycle was having a head bleed and was out of control , intoxicated and was a risk to himself and others , so we had the doctor order the 4 point leather restriants for him
it took 6 of us plus the security guards to get the leathers on him and they administered atavan
to calm him down .
our wild man was in detoxing from the alchol
and finally after 3 days he woke up and
found his self tied with arms stright out to his side and
feet together
he was crying like a little baby
and begged the staff to take off the restraints
prior to his wild episodes they had to keep them on him due to his violence , the colorfull words
and the spitting
but this time michale was like a small child
begging for those restraints to be taken off
my sister went in there and talked in a soft voice to him stating he had to behave or they go right back on him !
he agreed and after they took the restraints off
maichale cried big tears
he looked at the nursing staff and said
"oh thank you " "i felt like i was jesus on the cross "
lol
and we couldnt help but laugh :heartbeat
