I’m a Vietnam vet and a retired nurse. I am sorry but nurses do not wake up for 365 days in a row and wonder if today will be the day I die. But if you rant makes you feel better fine.
“nurses do not wake up for 365 days in a row and wonder if today will be the day I die.”
Perhaps, but they do wake up every day praying that they don’t make a mistake and someone dies.
As I’ve posted before, nurses define the quality of your medical care. The better that care, the easier/better your recovery.
I’ve been an in-patient at the VA hospital in Long Beach, and in the night, no one around, I left because nurses played games with meds and controlled patients by withholding pain meds.
Guys crying and screaming because of the pain, and obama’s sisters they laughed about the suffering vet. I filed an IG complaint and the IG had the obama sister hospital director investigate herself (nothing to see here).
I checked myself out and went to the airport and flew home to Texas. Immediately, went to a private hospital where nurses were caring and professional. I was in a comfortable environment and recovered quickly.
Like all hospitals, docs breeze in (you never know when), yammer some words, don’t want to discuss the situation with you, then they leave. . .and nurses are the ones that actually do medicine, they are the ones that take care of you.
A nurse actually saved my life, twice. In one case, if she remained silent the doc would have killed me because of his error.
Bottom line, they may not face dying when they wake up, but they face death daily.
IMHO. . .
