  1. Thank you's - memorable ones you've received?

    MVH119 replied to Liddle Noodnik's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    One of our most memorable was from the father of a young patient who owned an Indian resturant. The day after the patient was discharged two taxis arrived and six people began unloading vast amounts...

  2. i decided not to have my son circumcised-need feedback

    MVH119 replied to nursemn's topic in General Nursing

    Circumcision except for religious reasons is unheard-of in the UK unless there is a definite surgical indication for this operation. My two sons are uncircumsised and perfectly healthy although I do...

  3. Redeployed to ITU and hating it

    MVH119 replied to MVH119's topic in MICU, SICU

    I've already asked to be moved. I think ICU is one of those specialities you either love or hate. And I hate it with a passion. Luckily the Unit manager was very sympathetic. She was quick to say that...

  4. Redeployed to ITU and hating it

    MVH119 replied to MVH119's topic in MICU, SICU

  7. Re-deployed and hating it

    MVH119 replied to MVH119's topic in International Nursing

    Thank you all for your kind words, It really gives me something to carry on for. I'm never going to enjoy ITU. I like patients that can talk to me, it was perhaps the thing I liked most about my old...

    MVH119 replied to MVH119's topic in MICU, SICU

    No it isn't. And it seems to me to be spending thousands of pounds on hopeless cases, This is the UK, there is a finite budget. Just because we CAN dosen't mean we

    MVH119 replied to MVH119's topic in MICU, SICU

    At any rate count me out of the miserable technologies that extend a life that has come to a natural conclusion to the torture of a ventilator and inatropes. Go into that

    MVH119 replied to MVH119's topic in MICU, SICU
