Thank you for being willing to speak up at a time that must be very difficult for you.
As a former open-heart ICU nurse, I read the title of your post with some skepticism. However, my days working in open-heart were quite a while ago, and I realize the times have changed. I did some independent research on this topic, and you are exactly right.
I learned something very valuable from you today, and only wish this test had been helpful for your brother. I will definitely pass this information forward to my current patients. Thank you again, and know that many people will benefit from your graciousness in sharing this information. Prayers for your family....
Thank you. Some of the hardest people to get to change are the professionals. I’m one, and as much as I study and research I will have a hard time changing my ways sometimes.
Case in point, just today I started using a technology that has been out for 5 years. I resisted spending the time to learn about it. It would have saved me all kinds of grief if I had just adopted it 5 years ago.
