100% spot on I’m the same as you especially more so in the last 2/3yrs I can’t tell you how many times it has broken me but still give a 100% in my care to my patients. X
100% spot on I’m the same as you especially more so in the last 2/3yrs I can’t tell you how many times it has broken me but still give a 100% in my care to my patients. XI disagree that people hero worship NHS staff (as an NHS staff who has experienced quite the opposite) and I do agree that medical professionals do make mistakes, as do engineers and postmen and drivers, etc. I however have never personally experienced cover ups and find, from seeing colleagues go through trials, that my regulatory body, the NMC, are quite harsh and strict (as they should be) when it comes to disciplinary action, unlike some others. But that’s just my experience.
Also regarding staff not coping and “being in the wrong job”, I feel a little personally insulted by this but hey, whatever. I deal with some really sad shit almost every shift, as it’s just the nature of the place I work. Sometimes I can deal with and empathise the situations well and then one day it all just gets a little much and I become a bit invested, or a patient / family dynamic / mechanism of injury reminds me of my own life and things just get to me. I might cry when a family member hugs me, I might sit out of one of the family chats and let a colleague do it whilst I compose myself, I might need a hug in the linen cupboard, but it doesn’t affect the care I give to that family and actually I think it enhances it - it means I am human and that I care. I have had many families say to me “we saw you wipe your tears when we said our goodbyes, thank you so much for caring for Mum like she was your own” etc etc. Being able to care for a patient and see them as a person aids your decision making and ensures you are seeing them for who they are, not just a job to do. It’s not just go in, put the drugs up, do what needs doing and go home. It’s are these drugs and interventions relevant, does this brain dead child need these? Are they helping him or are we torturing his body and his family?
I’ve lost my point. But basically it’s okay to care. It’s not “not coping”. And I hope those nurses, as all healthcare professionals should, have access to TRIM practitioners.
Didn't they do this to Jahi McMath? Try and feed her?Oh god they’re going to try and feed him aren’t they
The barmy Army have already had a go at the Guardian. For having the audacity to go on holiday and not cancel it. Also for “never being there but Archie’s mom always is” Except when she’s on tv or doing magazine and newspaper interviews. And of course she should be there, she’s his mother. The Guardian is not.I’m interested to see if she’s going to be allowed to appeal the decision and drag it on for longer
Also how she’s going to spin it to her army. Guessing it will be “the Guardian doesn’t have Archie’s best interest in mind, just the hospitals and they’re trying to hide their mistakes!!!”
No it’s a closed courtThe barmy Army have already had a go at the Guardian. For having the audacity to go on holiday and not cancel it.

Is the court public today?
Unfortunately child proceeding she would have to be thereIs Mommy Dearest at court when there's really no need to be?
If it’s in the family court none of the parties’ names are published, just the times and the judge hearing itI can't find anything listed on the court lists for today? It must be behind closed doors.........
I'll believe it when I see it. She said last time she knew he wouldn't recoverI found this. Hopefully this means he can pass peacefully.
I genuinely think they're just lying to the court at this point tbh as this seems to have been their line of argument there for a while now - he won't wake up but the death should be 'natural', I assume by cardiac arrest? Of course, then we see on the wall that they want him to be resuscitatedI found this. Hopefully this means he can pass peacefully.
No-one would ever be satisfied with however long you can give them.They want more time according to the headlines I’ve been reading but they will never be satisfied.
