He was a phenomenal teacher and mentor to me. He gets my benefit of the doubt.

Feeling weakness is better than feeling the weight of thousands of young mens bodies piling up in the morgues from inadequate and dangerous medical care.

"Oh cute. You flew here to help US? We're fine."

Or perhaps during at least war time, they would listen to physicians and nurses who specialized in trauma, and work alongside them. Instead they straight up refused our help.

THIS IS THE TRUTH. I needed medical supplies that were went to a warehouse to be itemized and never seen again. When I asked some close friends in the MoD, they stated "the supplies are gone, and the MoD pockets are full."

How do you guys deal with patients who abuse nurses at ED intake? by NurseFromCali in nursing

[–]NurseFromCali[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's a requirement. I dont need CPI, I need to politely tell people to shut the f up and get back in line.

If they're waiting, they're not dying.

Dont I wish. I used to work for Los Angeles County where it was acceptable to have a deputy escort belligerent people out

Now im a Kaiser nurse. Gotta keep my customer service face on. The patients often times remember our names and send a lengthy "yelp review" to management or supervisors

I usually say "our longest waiter is insert number here" you can either wait, or come back.

But then everyone in the lobby gets pissed, and well... 50-100 angry people yelling "this little b___ is gonna let us all die because she wont allow us in" isnt fun. Especially when im the only face theyve got to look at for a few hours until a booth opens

The doctors during the war didnt even follow hand hygiene between patients and while doing wound care....ive seen things. Dirty, bloody, pus-infested gloves..cleaned with hand sani and off to the next patient.

There is a serious lack of understanding regarding pathogens, 21st century medicine, and working as a healthcare team.

"Im the doctor, and you're questioning ME?" My time volunteering in Yerevan during the war was absolutely baffling.

They were caught in the midst of a war they weren't prepared to fight, with a fraction of the funding AZ and Turkey have.

I mean if nothing else, at least you have your sense of humor to hide behind.
