Tomorrow for example I’m expecting I may get written up for a judgment call I made. I hope all went well. You are so dedicated to your job - I am sure your supervisors know that.

I've heard stories where they've asked the patient multiple times, had the correct area marked, and still did the surgery in the wrong spot. I can't even wrap my head around it. See this post: 11 hours ago, Doc Brown said: Just some advice....when you're amputating a "left leg" it's the patient's actual left leg. Not the leg to the left when looking down upon. 11 hours ago, Doc Brown said: Just some advice....when you're amputating a "left leg" it's the patient's actual left leg.

We can't answer your question until you tell us what that "medical device" is. So many wildcards here... It's 2019!?

Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Any update, OP? Hope everything went well. Everyone makes errors in judgment....well except for @Turbosrrgood of course. Seems like by starting this thread you were looking to vent or to receive some advice or encouragement. What happened if you care to share? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section122 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Spent pretty much my entire adult life in healthcare. Worked direct care at a children's psych hospital for 10 years, trainer for an arc for a couple of years, now I'm hr for a homecare company. Definitely a rewarding field. Not financially but knowing you made someone's life better is a much better reward imo. Hope your issue was resolved as painlessly as possible! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought she was that way since her late teens. She is now 29 I believe. And... They are now saying that it isn't a vegetative state... That she does respond in ways.

It would be hell if she is conscious at some level. Not to mention, who is paying to keep a dead person clinically alive? My biggest complaint about the ACA was the death panels never came to fruition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s only decent. We often treat our dogs better than we treat our people. I want my family to move on just as much as I would want to move on. I don’t want to leave, but I don’t fear what is next.

But with my mother, the last option was to literally starve her to death and pump her full of drugs so she wouldn't feel anything. Great system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He thought they jacked him up with morphine at the end to put him out of his agony. When my dad was in hospice they told us they often hang around as long as the family was there. They told us to leave for dinner. As soon as we got home we got the call. I thought of my friend, and the morphine drip going into my dad. I was thankful it was over. He was no longer suffering.
