Comment on When the patient is in no condition to lie for himself… by Jason

It’s such a terrible shame that people cover up facts that doctors need in life threatening situations.

I wish everyone would just understand that the best policy is always to give the full truth to health care professionals.

Great interview. If everyone could give to others this much, we’d all be better people for it. An amazing person, with amazing experiences. Thanks for sharing this story.

Very interesting article. This reminds me of just how vast our profession is and just how many things you can do as a nurse.

Great interview. I love medical mission work myself, although have only gone on one week trips, so far. I think every nurse should go at least once. I don’t think I ever work that hard at home and I know I am rarely as fulfilled. It’s great to give and it’s great to learn how to work without all the amenities.

The Nurses Beyond Borders book sounds like a definite read. I know what I am getting someone for their Kindle. I find it hard to imagine anything better than doing humanitarian nursing.

That is an awful story. And for something that did not need to happen at all.

Comment on IVP by edna

I have a severe allergy reaction to the IVP dye about 10 years ago. I was hospitalized for 2 weeks… purple rash from neck to toes, it looked like a massive bruise and my blood pressure dropped dangerously low. The itching was painful, more like arrows shooting out of my body. I discharged myself and drove to see a dermatologist who immediately told me I was having a chemical reaction to the dye. I could have died and I was used as a practice target for the medical community, several doctors and specialists visited me when I was hospitalized to document and analyze my reaction but offered no solution.

Comment on Happy New Year! by Liz

Surgery can be scary. I’ve had 5 over the last 2 years, the most serious being an anterior cervical spine fusion. The one that hurt the most afterwards was the knee arthroscopy for a torn meniscus.

Glad you live through your surgery.

Great interview. Being an OR nurse is hectic. I remember when I had to train in the OR to circulate in C-sections. One of the hardest things I found was being on your feet for such long periods of time.
