I mean, having been a patient who had call buttons ignored while spiking sugars of over 300 since the ER staff didn't know how to calculate 1.5x maintenance rate but did two D5s gravity drip. I understand where the distrust sadly comes from 😅
@DevinShuman
Were they ignoring you or were there critically injured or dying people in the ER that took precident? Same with icu it can seem like we’re ignoring you but in reality we’re just stuck with critical patients

Ugh. It's hard enough to monitor those without other people interfering. (For context: I am a telemetry monitor tech) if there's a tech watching, it shouldn't take very long to have it fixed.

So you he rhythm the cardiologist was looking for might have happened while family removed heart monitor to justify pacemaker. Just 1 dropped p wave. My patient had syncope for 2 years before she could get pacemaker needed documentation

We are doing something similar at my fiancé’s mom’s assisted living facility. Promised weekly cleaning. Daily wiping of surfaces. Weekly laundry & sheets changed. The sink is full of dishes. Her garbages overflowing. Only on her 2nd set of sheets after a month. She’s paying a lot

I hated when relatives worked out the silence button. It really irked me when they were mucking around with equipment and don’t get me started on disconnecting from IV fluids or IV antibiotics 😤

Beat you. On two different occasions, the family members of two different patients complained about two different nurses "smiling too much."
