You got that right. I remember this one time when I was a CNA, I had this 30 + years of practice doctor to take care of and he constantly yelled at me (everybody including the interns) for being a lowly CNA while bragging about being "God". Actually, I was told he was a good doctor, but his sickness brought out the Mr. Hyde out of him.

Wow...words to practice by. I'll keep your advice in mind with my new Med Surg job as an LVN next month :uhoh21: In fact, I should print this and keep in my scrub breast pocket :)

:rotfl:

Don't OBGYN doctors get sued alot? Sounds like this doctor was sued many times.

Holy cows! did you get fired for that? I threatened to beat up this MD at my former hospital for belittling me for almost 2 years. He kept calling me this "pet name" as he called it and I finally confronted him and told him I was just gooing to flat out send him to the Emergency department stat! Okay, not in these words...but close enough. That doctor's suffering from delusions of grandeur I tell you. Edited by trauma4Us: obscenity

I have one resident on Dig and another on Coumadin. None on Lasix anymore. Forgot to add Cardiac meds and Senokot as well :) but I would have to change my "top 5" title to "top ten".

Oregon's a little too far for me to help you. I'm actually getting IV certified in October. I can't wait! Only in the civilian world do you need certs and license for everything. In the Army, even the cooks in my med unit can insert IV's and carry an M-16 at the same time. Thanks for the link though :)

Instead of "CC" it's now ML. "CC" can look like "QD" or "00" Instead of "QD" it's now "Every day"

latex gloves and an N95 mask won't protect you from the kind of bio weapons various militaries have.

Here's a pic of me as a Telemetry Tech :chuckle

Hyperkalemia can also cause weird T wave abnormalities. Off the topic, I used to have a binder full of weird and abnormal strips I collected as a monitor tech. Too bad I can't scan them for you guys because I ended up giving it away to some RN's at Kaiser Permanente when I became a unit clerk.

My pet peeves are CNA's who don't turn their patients enough. When I was a CNA in acute and long term, I never had one patient come down with a pressure ulcer. Never! but the CNA's I work with today aren't as dedicated as I was back in the day. Don't get me wrong, I've work with super CNA's too that would put RN's and LVN's too shame. I don't question CNA's intelligence, just their work habits. Heck, half of them graduated from the RN program but are just procrastinating for a better opportunity.

With me nothing really......I remember this one time I was changing a condom cath and urine splashed in my eye. So I double checked his past history for Hepatitis, HIV, and so on and went straight to the ED (he was clean). Man, that saline they poured on my eye to wash the urine out was too cold to bear as it dripped down my neck. I'm always careful with bodily substances:p

Damn, how did he manage that?
