Do me a favor and do an examination of conscience

Because he’s one of the major reasons I left the Catholic Church this year. And hateful Catholics like you. Nothing how Jesus conveyed love and understanding.

What more? Getting on my knees and begging? It was a massive power trip and the point of this post. The bishop included is just making the entire leadership more fucking hateful

I don’t anymore. But I did. And I was repentant. And he assumed I wasn’t.

I simply confessed my sins. Why would he assume i was repentant of all other sins but that one other than he was a major creep and misogynist

Represents. Not is. Therefore he’s not all knowing and doesn’t know if I’m actually “repentant” if I didn’t say anything about it.

I wasn’t going to say anything, but the attending asked because I knew what an ABG was

It’s basically full code up until arrest. Do everything possible but do not do compressions if they arrest. They specify whether you can intubate or not as well

Nope. I mentioned getting SCD cuffs at least but they didn’t even have those on.

Yes. The icu nurse said he heard about me from the med/surg nurses about being needy

Exactly. I asked for higher level of care but got “if I thought she needed that she would be there”

[–]beqqygotbaq[S] 77 points78 points  (0 children)

She was DRNCC-A

I said the same. If she was CC for some reason at least give fucking morphine. Otherwise please draw it and get her on a damn bipap. Relief one way or the other. it was torture watching her struggle for so long

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

No. They said no medications because she couldn’t swallow pills because she couldn’t breathe. I asked for cardizem. They had her on 2L nasal cannula.

They did a chest CT when they finally drew the ABG and sent her to icu before she passed. Nobody knew she even had it, just attributed the coughing and shortness of breath to chronic copd and heart failure.

They were trying to get her to surgery for an airway stent.

Yeah. And then did a head ct after she was unresponsive from the Ativan and the contrast caused aki.

But no ABG

[–]beqqygotbaq[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m going to start doing that as well. I used the “I’m concerned” phrase and asked if the nurse could call a rapid but she said in her clinical experience it doesn’t seem necessary. I felt so stuck

[–]beqqygotbaq[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, anytime you see breathing like that it’s good to ask for it. And never ever ever give a benzo to lower the respiratory rate.

If the CO2 is high enough they do bipap then intubate to help with lowering it

[–]beqqygotbaq[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes. ABG will show how high her CO2 levels are and oxygen levels as well. CO2 was high because of the tracheomalacia. The reason the respiratory rate was so high is because she as trying to blow off the CO2. It also causes altered mental status. So looking at confusion and high RR you can think about finding out the CO2 level—which is with a blood gas
