The sheer ignorance about how medicine is practised, it makes me so mad.AGH someone just linked a DM article about ambien being used to "wake coma patients"
Replies: "wow, definitely worth a go!"
Definitely isn't, given it's not evidence based, completely irrelevant, and they're talking about a child who's being kept precariously alive by a meticulously managed cockail of drugs, adjusted hourly.
Someone posted earlier about the sheer level of arrogance of people in AA, who take an incredibly complex situation and think they can solve it with a google. Do you they not think all the neurologists, with decades of training, may have already mentioned it if they thought a pill could magically wake him up?

Oh the irony.She calls her critics oxygen thieves :|
Thank fuck Lisa - with her GCSE in biology? Highly doubt it - managed to spot an error the trained nurses made.Q please. Maybe Hollie has commissioned a unique, fancy ventilator that I’ve not encountered before but how can he not be requiring oxygen and only be “in air”?
Also a comment on the post refers to an “accident” made by, I assume, a Nurse that involved the ventilation being “turned down”. Tut tut. It was only noticed because Hollie is there 24/7 and monitoring everything, thankfully.

It seems so often the way though that those with so much to say manage to say it in such an illiterate way.Is it totally wrong of me to cringe at the spelling and think if you’re going to have a public rant, make it a well spelt and coherent one?
I was actually going to ask this question, I'm 20+ years post ICU and while I can remember quite a bit I was confused by the use of air.Q please. Maybe Hollie has commissioned a unique, fancy ventilator that I’ve not encountered before but how can he not be requiring oxygen and only be “in air”?

He may be on 21% FiO2, so maybe that is what she means? However he will surely be requiring PEEP & pressure support, and mandatory ventilation so therefore a set tidal volume and respiratory rate (and everything else) so the FiO2 means literally nothing…I was actually going to ask this question, I'm 20+ years post ICU and while I can remember quite a bit I was confused by the use of air.
I think it's worth noting as well that his sats are fairly meaningless in the grand scheme of things because you clearly can perfuse corpse , whereas his care/O2 and Co2 levels will be controlled via blood gases. Hollie going on about sats shows her lack of understanding , but I guess it keeps her happy. Dunning Kruger is taking over the world.
What she really means is 'the nurse I've managed to manipulate into doing what I want and she gives me loads of attention to boot'.Hollie saying today that Archie's "favourite nurse" is in today.
I wonder how he expressed that preference.
I guess people have watched too much ‘House’ … and it sounds suitably medical and knowledgeable.He may be on 21% FiO2, so maybe that is what she means?

Yeah the saturations obsession confuses me too. I know relatives become fixated on one particular thing, whether it’s the BP or the HR, the Na or CRP etc. But Archie has so much going on that saturations is quite meaningless, it’ll all be PaO2 led.
DK indeed. But like you said, it keeps her happy.
Unfortunately you can’t argue with stupidIt still staggers me that someone with such a low IQ can have the High Court and amazing Doctors having to dance to her tune.
What does it say about us as a society that we allow this.......... minority voices seem to be the only ones that are allowed to be heard these days
