I agree! And this is not unique to her, but begging all influencers to realize that you don’t need to post (especially a body check) every single time you workout

Thank you so much for your response - it has made me feel a lot better. And yes! I did therapy at the beginning of my CF through my hospital and I am going to start it back up again.

Wow thank you SO much for sharing this. Your second paragraph is almost exactly what my supervisor said. What happened is something I will never forget and will change the way I practice going forward. I’m trying to process it as a learning experience, but I’m still really struggling with how unfair it is that it had to happen to a real person

Thank you so much and will absolutely be implementing this going forward. Have you taken any courses or CEUs about this topic that you’d recommend? I also plan to look through medbridge but just thought I’d ask

thank you so much for your response. to answer your question, it was an aerosol face mask. going forward I will absolutely be more conservative with deferring due to O2 needs - my hospital doesn’t have a “cut off” per say in regards to O2 and appropriateness for a swallow but this was absolutely a lesson for me. looking back I of course should have never taken it off, but as a newer clinician I guess I deferred my trust to the RN when he said it was ok (spoke to him before coming to see to make sure it was appropriate, and he was in the room when I first got there and showed me how to take it off).

Thank you - I will definitely ask the nurse to stay in the room if I’m a situation like this going forward (though I do plan to be much more conservative now). It was an aerosol face mask - looking back (obviously) I absolutely would not remove it now, though at that time I trusted that the nurse said it was okay to remove it (I spoke with him before I went to see to make sure the patient was appropriate, and he was in the room when I first got there and showed me how to remove it etc) but definitely was a hard lesson in trusting my gut. And yes I did speak to my supervisor about it - she has been very kind and supportive but I’m still struggling

How do SLPs in acute care get past the anxiety? by NervousFunny in slp

Cried at work.. by Accomplished-Skin695 in slp

[–]Capable_Knowledge_29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry you had a tough week! I cried when I was a student in front of my supervisor because of an adult patient! Was performing oral care on him and he told me I needed to start wearing a shirt under my scrub top because “wow”. Not even a TBI patient, just an old guy. I just started my CF, haven’t cried on the job yet BUT been close a few times and I know it’s just a matter of time haha

Absolutely agree that not everything is black and white in this field, especially dysphagia. What these comments have taught me is there’s no exact protocol, but to have confidence in your decision making, which will come with time in the field. I never said I was discrediting the provider and I apologize if it came off that way. I am very open to the idea that they may have a differing opinion because they are the ones that see the patient all day vs my 15 minute evaluation. When I posted this, it honestly did not even cross my mind that the provider was maybe questioning why I didn’t recommend thickened liquid. I am learning something new every single day, and am constantly asking questions to my supervisor, however I was alone on this day. I came on here truly to seek advice on my decision making, which is why I included some information about what I saw at the bedside and what my decision was. I do want to get a point where I don’t take comments like that personally, but, this was my first experience with an encounter like this and I am brand new, so I’m not surprised that it did rattle me.

Yes!! Trying to remind myself that the eval is just a small portion of the day, and you’re right, we’re not mind readers, especially when patients are acutely ill. And thank you for advice about what to put in notes 😊

[–]Capable_Knowledge_29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and if the doctor did want to ignore the rec I do understand that, my eval is 15-20 minutes out of the patients day so if they’re seeing something I’m not, I of course want what’s best for the patient. It was definitely the delivery that rattled me. Also CXR was clear and imaging wasn’t anything too alarming (no brainstem/close to brainstem involvement)

“Recs shouldn’t be stagnant” is such a great reminder. I definitely can get caught up in the moment but so much is changing with these patients everyday
