I am sorry to hear this. I wish that this would have turned out differently. Please realize that you did much more than many, many people would have done. Your kindness won't be forgotten.
Sorry folks, but this one: "Rumor also has it that residents can come into surgery and have come into surgery to practice doing lady partsl exams on the unconscious patient. One pediatrician I work...
You call yourself a "good nurse" but you aren't a nurse? Which is it? Are you finished with nursing school, but now trying to apply for your RN license? You *might* be able to get a bar license...
I was reading the thread about the nurse allegedly hurting a patient, and was thinking about the topic. Instead of hijacking that thread, I thought I'd ask you all a theoretical question: If a person...
LPN1974, Do these people's right depend on the honor and professionalism of their health care workers to respect their rights, even though they may not realize that they have them? So, people have...
Wow, thanks for all the interesting replies. I think that the delivery should be quiet if the mom wants it. The mom should have it her way, whatever way that is. Marie, you are hilarious. You...
Keith, you hit the nail on the head. I'm positive that IF that patient knew that she could have had a different nurse she WOULD have! I'd guess that 99% of the hospital patients have no idea that they...

Labrys, I am relieved to know that I was not the only one feeling hostile after versed. Smilingblueeyes, I'd be interested in knowing if these patients who reacted badly to versed were taking other...
Well, Labrys, I guess it all boils down to whether the healthcare provider believes that they "know what is best" for the patient, versus having true and honest informed consent. I'm all for people...
You say:"remember unpleasant procedures if you want to". I say, I'm not really all that "into" remembering unpleasant experiences, but I'm not into someone using a "wiper" on my brain without my...
