  1. patient videos

    Poochiewoochie replied to J.R.theR.N2b's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Methinks it is someone who might be looking to see if they have a lawsuit against the hospital because they found out they were videotaped yet signed a consent that had it on it and now claims...

    Poochiewoochie replied to J.R.theR.N2b's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Like I said, it's your responsibility to "comb" through the entire consent form before you sign it if. I really don't know what the big deal is to reading it-the one at my hospital is two

    Poochiewoochie replied to J.R.theR.N2b's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just want to day that at the hospital where I have had my surgeries since 2010 the consent says that the surgery may be videotaped at the discretion of the physician for diagnosis/treatment of the...

  4. Woman blames assisted-care facility when her mother dies of a stroke

    Poochiewoochie replied to visionary123's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My mother was a coroner's case because she had two accidents that resulted in broken bones before her death. Coroner's ruling-death was caused by complications of her hip

  5. Just being silly

    Poochiewoochie replied to Anggelica's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I love my neurosurgeon and have a lot of respect for him but doctors intimidate me for some reason even though he does have a wonderful bedside manner. When I had my neck surgery his PA was the one...

  6. Frequent flier narc users

    Poochiewoochie replied to corky1272RN's topic in Emergency

    Yep. When I had my neck problem the pain doc prescribed MS Morphine, which, like the other narcotic drugs I had previously been prescribed did nothing for the pain. IMO the only thing that actually...

  7. Priorities

    Poochiewoochie replied to NurseDewar's topic in Emergency

    Reminds me of my Aunt. She never had enough money to buy food and my Mom was always sending her some yet she could afford the booze for her drunk all the time husband and cigarettes for both of

  8. The Patient Who Receives No Visits

    Poochiewoochie replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In my case it's just me and my Dad. I don't talk to the rest of my family because all they do is talk about the past and how horrible they had it growing up(one is still harping on the fact that my...

  9. Patient fx hip after family refused alarm

    Poochiewoochie replied to Emilyinsc's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Since my Mother recently passed away from complications from a hip fracture that happened at the nursing home she was in I have to say something about this. When she was admitted almost 3 years ago...

  10. Nursing student lied about me to my manager, and I cannot prove it.

    Poochiewoochie replied to Tortoiseshell's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If she get's this upset because you said that to her I wonder how she'll react when a patient or family member looks at her the wrong way or says something that hurts her little feelings. Will she go...

  11. Advise on Communicating With family members

  12. Overbearing family members

    Poochiewoochie replied to mindyjo15's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    From one of those "overbearing" family members that you are talking about. When my Mom was alive she had dementia. It was very hard for her to answer all the questions that were thrown at her when she...

  13. I don't know how you nurses deal with death

    Poochiewoochie posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Today I sat and watched as my mother lay dying in her bed at the NH. Horrible-not like in the movies at all. I sort of knew what to expect but actually seeing someone die is a lot harder than most can...

  14. I don't know how you nurses deal with death

    Poochiewoochie replied to Poochiewoochie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    IMO I don't know how anyone can say they don't suffer when they died the way my Mom did. People who say this have never been there themselves so they really have no idea and no one has come back to...

  15. DDD/numbness/pain

    Poochiewoochie replied to nursegumby's topic in Emergency

    The patient couldn't get in to see her ortho for another week that's why she was at the ER. In my case it was a nurse who got all snippy with me when I had my problem. She quickly changed her attitude...

  16. Am I Only one who is irritated by doctors and medical shows?

    Poochiewoochie replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    He's Oprah's choice for America's doctor so if she says it he must be

  17. Bored on night shift- should I ask for transfer?

    Poochiewoochie replied to Happyday1's topic in Nursing Career

    LMAO! I hope so or she is one sorry person for going into nursing! When I had surgery a year ago I had to stay overnight and I tell you, my nurse didn't seem like she was bored. She had one patient...

    Poochiewoochie replied to Happyday1's topic in Nursing Career

    Wow-this thread is like 3 years old. I bet the OP has moved on with her problem,

  19. When surgical tools get left behind

    Poochiewoochie replied to lockheart678's topic in Operating Room

    Yeah, none of the so-called reality shows are actually reality. What gets me is when someone is shocked to find out that their favorite one is

    That's

  21. When surgical tools get left behind

    Poochiewoochie replied to lockheart678's topic in Operating Room

    I'm not a nurse but I saw them. IMO most of the "true life" medical shows tend to be a tad bit over exaggerated. Television is all about ratings and these medical shows tend to try to scare the...

  22. I don't know how you nurses deal with death

    Poochiewoochie replied to Poochiewoochie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    They tried to suction my Mom but the secretions were too thick.They used those little sticks with the spongees on the end that you wet and tried to remove it from her mouth that

  23. I don't know how you nurses deal with death

    Poochiewoochie replied to Poochiewoochie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was with our dachshund when we had to put her to sleep in '95. That was so peaceful. And yes, I can certainly understand people grieving more for their pets than a family

  24. I don't know how you nurses deal with death

    Poochiewoochie replied to Poochiewoochie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks, it was my Mom not mother in law-I've never had one of

  25. Am I Only one who is irritated by doctors and medical shows?

    Poochiewoochie replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I believe he is a cardiac surgeon and was very surprised that he was still practicing since he is a big shot tv star. A lot of the stuff he recommends has been discredited-like some of the weight loss...
