Isn't it like, UO time or something?

Re: Isn't it like, UO time or something?
Or the Precipitate.
Where my science nerds at?
Dude, this is so meta...
Luckily for me if the UO/FFFC threads are boring, I just get more work done. It's crazy!
I seek out other peoples loved ones in the hospital so I can relax and just eat the free snacks. Since hospital snacks are by far the best.
You're killing me, Kirks.
But, but, but, he has a PORN STAR. On the RADIO! It's SHOCKING!
See its funny how I assume when people with dementia or alzheimers are in the hospital its because they need to be. Meaning they need medical professionals. Which their families PAY to keep them comfortable and take care of their needs.
You lack the most basic skill of a nurse. Compassion.
The trouble is, we have a horrible rate of medical screw-ups in this country. There are a lot of wonderful, incredible doctors and nurses out there. And there are some that just are lazy and incompetent or even just having a bad day. And when your relative is sick all you need is one dumbass to screw something up and it's all over. You're not likely going to get much out of a malpractice suit if your relative was sick and 80 years old when they went into the hospital even if someone messed up and they died. Sadly in our medical system patients need a 24/7 advocate that is not affiliated with the hospital or the insurance company.
I also do tend to believe statistics over anecdotes, but that's just the Mad Scientist in me talking.
Brandi, the point is that you are showing exactly zero compassion in these posts. People do not spend the night in the hospital with their loved ones for fun. They are their to make their loved ones more comfortable. Most people do not know how to do that when their loved ones are in the conditions you are describing and need help. That's your job.
Don't be a d!ck.
Which goes back to HE's point of while they are in the hospital we, as the loved one, may be there to learn from the way you, as the professional, handle it.
For most of us, we have never been in this situation and have never had to deal with it. We want to be there to comfort our loved ones and to learn from the hospital staff of how to deal with it ourselves when they get home. My grandmother is in this situation right now. It was the scariest thing to go to the hospital and see her not have any idea where she was, talking to her brother who had passed. She had a broken hip and kept asking to get up. We had no idea how to deal with it. We didn't know if she was even allowed to get up. We are not trained to deal with it and it was our first experience with it. Yes, we know how to talk to her and reason with her under regular circumstances. But, this is a medical situation.
Some people aren't comfortable leaving their loved ones anywhere, even if it is just to return a shopping cart
I know. If they want to set up fun games like the Horr Hunt, I'm cool with it. But AEs arguing with each other over who is/isn't an AE puts me to sleep.
It is confirming some of my worst fears about my grandmother's situation right now.
Holla!
The food at the hospital cafeteria where DW gave birth was actually pretty good. Especially the brekkie foods. Fresh belgian waffles, an omelette bar, all at a reasonable price... maybe I should knock DW up again so I could eat there some more?
I guarantee you that the people doing these studies have done a lot more nights, on a lot more floors than you.
Brandi is a twit. Next.
If you have anything resembling this on your wall, you have zero taste.
Which is fine. Just know that you have no taste.
That's a zinger if I ever saw one. *takes notes*
To BOTH of you....
BB - You would like it if those relatives that are staying with their loved one in the hospital took the initiative on things, right?
How many times do you have those relatives that DO take the initiative but royally mess sh*t up because they don't actually know what they're doing?
Sometimes even the simplest task becomes a much more complicated situation in a hospital setting.
QFT.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And oddly, I like all the components of mayo. I just don't care for the actual product. The texture grosses me out and the taste doesn't add anything for me.
Google says, "Quoted For Truth"
LOL!
I think it would be wise to remember that BB is not actually a nurse, but an aide. So, she's there to wipe asses, arrange covers, and walk people to the potty, among other things. So of course she doesn't need to read medical journals for CME.
But you bet your as$ that she'll *** about family members not doing her job for her.
I just can't seem to quit this thread. There is so much chortling coming from my cubicle right now. (TWSS)
Thanks. I actually disagree, I feel the best line by far was the part about relatives and shopping carts. But if I made you smile, I am happy.
Holy ballz, you just got done complaining that patients need peace and quiet at night and that family members are there too much. Do you pay attention to the sh!t you spew?
dude, I was wondering where you've been. That must have taken AAAAAGES.
And you have room to judge?
Brandi Bee, you're really confusing me. Do you want people to help or stay out of the way? Do you want people to stay home or stick around a be trained so you don't have to do your job?
I'm a case manager for people with long term illnesses and disabilities who rely on their personal care aids to complete all their ADLs. I understand your job isn't easy and you might be stressed, but please don't use it as an excuse to be a twatwaffle. If you're that jaded, perhaps you should consider a new line of work...like something that wouldn't require you to interact with people at all.
