    I harmed my first patient today.

    OyWithThePoodles replied to starwarrior's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Like others have said, there is a big difference in causing harm and causing pain. Relax. It's awesome that you care so much, though. What I do when removing a foley: First always look to see how...
