So much has been going on at work lately, I just wanted to start this thread for us to share one or two lines on each to reflect recent events at work. I'll start:
The good: the last two shifts I worked have been so much better than the way its been lately in terms of volume and acuity. Here's hoping it continues.
The bad: I had a near miss with a med error that really shook me up. A reminder to be even more hyper vigilant and I'm so so thankful it was a miss.
The ugly: family members rescinded a DNR/DNI on an 85yr old with a bowel perf r/t c-diff colitis. Pt was taken to OR with approximately zero chance of survival. How is this even allowed?
Bad: an elderly man that was DOA but ambos had to bring him in to be pronounced
Ugly: seeing the look on his grand child's face while I sat with her to explain where poppy went because the family couldn't do it, then have the child ask me why I wasn't crying!
Bad: an elderly man that was DOA but ambos had to bring him in to be pronounced

Explainin where Poppy went is NOT your job. Seriously, have the child ask you why you weren't crying??? WTH is wrong with people. Glad you have 4 days off.
