Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire This pisses me off

My father's favorite quote was, "A hospital is the most dangerous place in the world".

They almost killed him, but he survived. They gave him the wrong drug, not once, but twice. They gave him something that had a drug interaction with something else he was on. They gave him the first shot and he asked what that was. He told the nurse that he couldn't have that because of what else he was on. The nurse ran out of the room and never came back. 8 hours later it happened again a second time with a different nurse. I'm sure that they were following doctor's orders, but you'd think that the first nurse would have made note of it so it wouldn't happen again. He lived his last couple of years with kidney failure because of it.

My mother was never in labor very long when she delivered. My dad knew this. When my older brother was born, dad told the doctor and nurses. They dismissed him as an overanxious father. Dad was born and raised on a farm and he delivered my brother at the hospital. Soon thereafter, all hell broke loose with the hospital staff scrambling about. The doctor sent a bill anyway. My dad told the doctor to go eff-himself.

When I was born, mom went into labor. She called my dad at work. By the time he got to the hospital, everything was done, and mom was having supper.

That's BS. Good nurses always get punished or run off

My Mom had a stroke last month and ended up in a hospital. Absolutely no visitation allowed due to Covid. She was not fed nor given water some days, she had to go to the bathroom in her bed and sometimes she would have to lay 2 to 3 days in her filth, and vomit. she contracted sepsis, pneumonia in the hospital, and some nurse stole her hearing aids ( $6000) and her purse and all her id's; she slept with her phone. Calls repeatedly to hospital and no one would;d pick up at hospital. Finally got her out after a month . Tried to get her transferred but no hospitals in S Florida had any room. When I picked her up it was disgusting in the hospital. She had really horrible bed sores. The admin refused to see me to talk about her treatment and theft of her items. Healthcare is so [bleep] up now

This was a highly rated hospital too in DaDe County. FL


Her bill was $499,000, she just received it.

Would agree with putting a bartender in jail that killed someone with a DUI after work?

A mistake isn’t necessarily negligence.

Define mistake.


I thought Joe was a deer, that's a mistake?


I didn't think I was drunk after 14 shots of Tequlia, that's a mistake?


I didn't hear your daughter say no, that's a mistake?


Thanks.

Am sure nurse burnout from the last two years and working under Obamacare bureaucracy had nothing to do with the mistake. ( sarc)


Nursing professions like law enforcement. Heavy work load, pressure, liability, tremendous pressure at times, life and death split second decisions, seeing a lot of death and suffering, an unintentional lapse of judgement can lead to a death.

Kind of like bar tending or waitressing or plumbing

That makes perfect sense to me. Should be that way everywhere!!! When did being on the phone at work anywhere become acceptable?

Nurses, doctors, cops, soldiers all mindless tools of the NWOJEWGLOBOMO satanic cabal.

According to those who are probably not qualified for those jobs.

This place gets funnier every day.

ptl,lol

Both of my kids ended up in the NICU. What they didn’t know was my wife is an RN in a NICU. My wife now works for that hospital because of how our children were cared for. That hospital culture was better. Some medical professionals are playing with a fixed deck of cards because “healthcare managers”, who aren’t medical professionals, are trying to keep the hospital in the black.

Does this nurse bear some culpability? Absolutely. Her license should be in jeopardy. But jail? Courts have ruled that the punitive component to confinement is legitimate. But just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

Well said.

You'd be good with her losing her license after killing your kid, right?

It occurred in 2017.

Oops

Considering the circumstances, having investigated 18 years of crimes against people, and my knowledge of nursing from my wife/sister/countless hours in an ER waiting on pre-booking medical exams...

Yes. If she owned up to it the way this nurse did. Would I go after the hospital in civil court? Yes. But I don’t believe the facts of this case prove the nurse maliciously murdered someone

Remember, Vince Neil only did 19 days in jail for vehicular homicide.

lol. d'oh

had it been my mother and this nurse's mistake caused her death i'd have already killed the nurse. why do we hold nurses and doctors on such a high fugging pedestal in this Country is beyond me. I am working right now to cost an ER doc his license and hopefully a criminal record. they are, as a whole the biggest bunch of slack ass people I ahve ever met. and they know they have absolutely no accountablity

I had the misfortune to be at Brigham in Boston (not as a patient) quite a bit in the recent past. I don't believe I saw a single nurse on my brother's floor on a cell. The ones caring for him Damon sure weren't

I just dont think it's that damn difficult to read the name of the drug on a vial before injecting it into someone. Nurses are terrified now that they may be held accountable for not doing their job and someone dying. Again, what am I missing here?
