Worst one was the guy discharged that day from our hospital who came back into the ED that night because the facility didn't keep him elevated during his tube feeding (and for 30 minutes after) and he aspirated. His son was NOT happy. Neither were we.<br /><br />You're between a rock and a hard place. Best you can do is give the medics a coherent report for them to give us (if you haven't learned SBAR or something like it, learn it. Include vitals, signs, symptoms, and so forth). A copy of med lists and history would be cool, too. <br /><br />Then for heaven's sake, find a better job before they get you in trouble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1408616337296439010.post-67979291380297528122010-09-27T19:19:26.769-07:002010-09-27T19:19:26.769-07:00Glad to hear they went to the jail.

LOL.<br /><br />How do you feel about assisted living facilities and the folks they send out to you because they have no ability to deal with anything vaguely acute?<br /><br />PS~I'm a pretty green nurse who's had a job for 2.5 weeks. Yesterday 2 folks were sent out to ER and the paramedic was giving me hell. Hate to sound like a drone but I was TOLD to call 911. <br /><br />Cracking up.
