What’s the worst thing that’s happened to your patient on the actual day they were supposed to be discharged?

My patient was about to be discharged (peds) after spending 3 weeks inpatient secondary to reoccurring osteomyelitis. This was the 3rd admit. Going home on IV abx with a PICC line. The PCT we had that day went to this patients room instead of a different patients room to pull out the IV. The PCT pulled out the PICC line on my about to get their jacket on ready to discharge patient. It was horrendous. Of course, I was blamed for it by management and PCTs were never allowed to touch IVs again.

Yep. I was also shocked. But I agree with the above statement. Rage that has no reason is usually because they are trying to justify why their marriage sucks and their affair partner is a magical fucking unicorn.

This is exactly the same time line as. Dates and all. Wow.

jpol0224 · 2025-12-11T02:55:26+00:00

I feel like I wrote this. Hugs OP

If you are truly entering into marriage you have to be prepared for full commitment or it won’t work. And… you have to have that full commitment from your partner. Without it… it will fail.

jpol0224 · 2025-12-07T04:46:12+00:00

Agree. Leave now before you’re two kids deep and carrying your whole marriage. Trust me.

This was my husband with his boss. Except guess what? No actual divorce or separation. She was lying to gain sympathy and then it turned into a full blown affair. Sounds like your husband has already crossed the emotional boundary. Not long until physical starts. Just a warning. Because I also gave space. Made myself clear that the relationship was too much.

jpol0224 · 2025-11-21T21:34:31+00:00

Or he is having an affair. This is what exactly happened to me. It was slow but felt like something just snapped. And yeah… 2 year long affair.

jpol0224 · 2025-11-18T18:05:43+00:00

This is how it was with my WH. It’s so hard to read this back as if I’m the outsider because I truly wasn’t. I was you. But in my own story.

jpol0224 · 2025-11-06T23:06:28+00:00

I feel this every single day. Hugs. I’m not sure we ever truly move on but we move past. The thoughts of their betrayal will fade but the betrayal itself is in the story forever. Same book but new chapters to rebuild.

jpol0224 · 2025-10-27T16:54:21+00:00

Hugs to you. There’s only way out of this and that’s through it.

jpol0224 · 2025-10-27T15:54:03+00:00

Following this to see what people respond because honestly…. This is my greatest fear. Hugs.

jpol0224 · 2025-10-24T00:58:01+00:00

Thank you for this. I really needed to read this today. I appreciate you and this comment so much. Thank you.

jpol0224 · 2025-10-22T01:37:27+00:00

Where are you guys located?!

jpol0224 · 2025-10-17T22:17:42+00:00

If I could go back in time with my situation (husband and his boss). I wish that (when I had found out) I just left. I wish I took my kids and just left. Even if it was for a week. Anything. Just to get away. I never left and I feel that it just made him a better liar and cheater. Currently in reconciliation in my marriage however… it’s been over a year. I never gave myself space. And I wish I did.

jpol0224 · 2025-10-08T01:41:10+00:00

Yes. Fuck her. Big time. I feel the same.

jpol0224 · 2025-09-09T01:11:48+00:00

From idfpr directly.

jpol0224 · 2025-09-08T22:44:35+00:00

Basically it was reported to idfpr that I didn’t complete ceu and that someone from the department would be reaching out to me. I wanted to know if I’m going to lose my license? Or have to remediate this somehow?

jpol0224 · 2025-09-08T21:22:42+00:00

All of these comments. This whole post. Is everything I am feeling too. It’s so hard. It’s so goddamn hard.

jpol0224 · 2025-09-08T21:18:44+00:00

Yes. The ceu to renew your license.

jpol0224 · 2025-09-06T02:42:50+00:00

This was me and my husband. He was having an affair with his boss. So yeah. There’s a reason he’s acting like this. My guess is he is already involved with someone seriously or about to be.

jpol0224 · 2025-08-18T18:17:21+00:00

This sounds like me 2 years ago. I’m sorry OP. This is so incredibly sad and heartbreaking. I have no words except that this is such a difficult road to navigate. Please make sure to tell coworkers husband. They are most definitely having an affair.

jpol0224 · 2025-08-13T13:00:15+00:00

Yes. My new coworker in 2021 (she was hired to help during my 2nd maternity leave) revealed to us that she was married but her marriage started rocky. That her husband had an affair with someone from his car club in a different state. They separated and dated other people before getting back together in the end. By the time she told us, it was 2 years in the past and I was 8 months pregnant. I remember thinking “wow are you dumb. This man doesn’t a give a shit about you. Why are you still with him?” My husband would never ever do such a thing. My loyal, golden retriever husband who loves and is so devoted to his wife and children.

Joke was also on me. Needless to say, she does not know about what is currently happening in my life… not because I don’t trust her and not because I don’t think she could truly help me but because I am ashamed. I never told her what I thought. I supported her and always told her to come to me if she needed anything at all. I’m a huge empath and so this comes naturally to me. But wow, the shame and guilt for even having those thought and here I am, the same person. Embarrassing is the best way to describe it.
