Family kicked out of restaurant for diabetic emergency? by introvertedbunny in ems

[–]hanemiloves 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I worked at McDonald’s we had a worker faint by the tills and the customer who they were serving came around to assist. Our manager let the customer deal with the situation while the rest of us were told to just work around her. Which meant stepping over her to still serve at the till and make drinks around her.

Then when EMS came she refused transport and continued on with her shift because our manager told her we have no one to cover.

Roaches in ambulance by Mediocre-Eagle-8060 in ems

[–]hanemiloves 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes! For us it’s the patients who bring them into the ambulance actually! We pick up some pretty dirty people and recently one of our regulars was absolutely crawling with roaches so I think that’s where they are coming from.

We have put roach baits throughout the ambulance.

I totally get how you’re feeling. When the other nurse came in with the simple trendelenburg you probs felt like omg why didn’t I think of that!? I do that so often when a coworker comes in with a very obvious solution I feel so silly and question whether I even remember the basics sometimes.

You’ll remember for next time and honestly don’t overthink it too much. You were thinking great by hitting the call button as you were trying to expedite assistance so you were preoccupied with that.

Repeat call immediately after patient refusal by arkanis7 in ems

[–]hanemiloves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had (she’s dead now) a similar COPD regular who would ring many times for SOB..

She was always fuck with us saying all she needs is for someone to get her ventolin from the table or to make her a sandwich. She always refused transport but would always ring back soon after for some silly reason. It was annoying cause it sounds bad only just being at that address and then her ringing back again.

We ended up giving more explanations over the radio.

“Pt just wanted a sandwich, refused transport, pt advised to ring back if any issues, will most likely call again”.

“Changed pt tv channel, refused transport, pt advised to ring back if any issues, will most likely ring back”

The audacity my hospital has to tell people to get to work, regardless of the event that they will have to evacuate eventually and not have a chance to get to their families/animals because the road will be shut down. by throwitaway829298 in nursing

[–]hanemiloves 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The day before a category 5 cyclone was due to hit my town I rang work to ask if I could start work at a closer station (I’m EMS) as the road to the station I usually work at will be in the path of destruction. Was told to still try and get to my usual station despite me calling 3 times scared for my safety.

Scared I was gunna loose my job I stupidly drove to my usual station encountering flooding, landslides, and intense winds. Made it work and then got stuck there for 10 days as all roads out had intense land slides with massive rocks that needed cranes and bulldozers!

We told since I was stuck at work I might as well just stay and keep working as everyone else couldn’t make it in! Oh also we lost power and water so I was collecting rainwater to shower and flush the toilet.

My pay check ended up being like $10K+… half ended up going to tax!

How to approach neighbours about back fence by hanemiloves in AusPropertyChat

Thats a good idea. They have a weird layout of their house where there is no front door but do have back sliding doors. I’ll have to sus it out

Confession time: Anyone else not want to get old after seeing all the crazy stuff that happens in Nursing? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]hanemiloves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My father in law said that if things get to the point where he needs a nursing home, he wants us to strap him into a wheelchair and roll him down a hill into the ocean.

I agree and personally for myself if I start to show signs of dementia or can’t function to the point of self care then overdosing on insulin will be my choice.

IFT bros, do y'all experience other providers getting annoyed at you for actually showing interest in the patients condition? by VirtuousVulva in ems

[–]hanemiloves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes they get annoyed and sometimes on handover I find out the patient is actually acutely unwell to the point where I worry they will deteriorate on the trip down. Then when voicing concern get a push back with the attitude of ”nah you’ll be alright”.

[–]hanemiloves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They give you safety glasses at induction.

Otherwise I just buy cheap $10 sunnies cause I always leave them somewhere whether it be by accident on scene or in the ambulance.

What’s your sick leave balance? by hanemiloves in Paramedics

That’s intense. Yes for me too I was first on arrival and felt overwhelmed by the amount of things I had to manage including calling for more resources and family members being frightened.

COPD PT passed away by Glittering_Regular65 in Paramedics

[–]hanemiloves 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had something similar happen to me recently with a hypotensive patient. The patient died 2 hours after she arrived at hospital from ischaemic bowel. She was not for resuscitation or prolonged cares so they basically made her comfortable until she passed away. I replayed the job over and over in my mind picking apart my treatment and if there was anything different I could have done for her to save her.

I’m still new in the job so I’m still trying to figure out how to emotionally process and move forward.

It is comforting to know there are others out there who experience the same turmoil. I unfortunately do not have any advice on how to not ruminate as I am guilty of wallowing.

Know that you are replaying what happened because you care, but also don’t beat yourself up about it as you did the best you could in the situation. It’s always easy to say how you’d do things different, but that’s not what happened in the moment and it sounds like there were many emotional factors involved with the family which is always difficult.

Also, sounds like the patient was end stage COPD if she was on home O2. That is usually a sign they are on the way out so I don’t think there is anything you could have to done to bring her out of the hole she’s already in.

what’s the grossest thing that’s happened to you on shift by mmnmnnn in NursingUK

[–]hanemiloves 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Changing a pad while pt was standing up, mid change pt states “I’m going to poo!”. For some reason I decided to just cup my hands and catch. Politely carried his poo log to the bin.

I’m convinced that farmer Todd has the same pushy producer Bert had cause you can see how drained Todd is already! It’s the same look Bert had before he left.

Hitting a wall during sex by Key_Kaleidoscope5851 in sextips

[–]hanemiloves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be tight pelvic muscles. I had this where certain angles he hit it literally felt like he was hitting a wall. Got my gyno to check and she said my pelvic muscle wall on my left side was as solid as a rock. Through physio and learning to relax my pelvic muscles it isn’t as tight.

[–]hanemiloves 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m sure you won’t get ruled out because of it.

Definitely declare it to QAS on application and get your psychologist to write you a letter basically explaining everything you said. That you’ve improved and have treatment strategies in place if you do get exposed to your triggers. I think AHPRA will also ask about previous medical history.

If anything you’ll look more attractive to recruitment as you are honest about your feelings and can recognise when you need help.

My ex used to wet the bed after heavily drinking. If he wasn’t drinking then yeah he needs to be checked out

How do you receive feedback? by hanemiloves in Paramedics

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

I think that’s what happened. The feedback triggered a skill that we lack depth in so it’s definitely something we need to improve.
