The day that you make a “Retail workers can’t make this stuff up” I will have PLENTY of stories for you

[radiangacha]

My mom is a doctor and she constantly mentions how hard nurses work and how she could never do what they do. Nurses deserve more love!

[MalinEklov]

Played this for my husband, who's a nurse, and most of the stories he was just nodding, going "Yep. That sounds about right." 😂

So one of my stories:
I worked as a nurse in a covid ward we had two patients with covid in separate rooms (rooms 14 and 15) across the corridor from eachother. Both patients had dementia and couldn't understand why they needed to stay on the room. So part of my job that night was to stay outside of both rooms and remind them each time they came out their room.

Patient 15 came out of his room really agitated demanding to see his wife (she had sadly passed away of covid a few days earlier and family asked us not to tell him until his daughter could phone) so I said that she was sleeping and he had to go back to bed. He wasn't settling and got more and more agrivated. Patient in room 14 saw what he thought was going on this 6ft odd older man threatening a young 5ft nothing nurse and came out to "defend me" 15 tried to hit 14 but punched me directly in the face and both elderly men started a fight, I pulled my emergency alarm and ot took 2 security card to pull them apart. 5 days later I got really unwell with covid and as soon as I got better I moved to the OR for a less stressful job.

That father was definitely insane. This is why we need good sex Ed. And especially if some people refuse to believe that things are wrong 😑. I’m not sure if it’s neglect but it’s concerning bc blood isn’t sterile and that will cause more serious issues.

9:00 To relate to that, there was a Chinese boy that started at my school when Covid just started and everyone stayed away from him like he had an literally personal bubble. I walked near him and other kids said a couple things I saw nothing wrong with it. I then helped him to his next class.

ER nurse here: I’ve seen some ridiculousness, but one of the best was a patient who was in the ER waiting room and watched us pull a lifeless body out of a car and start cpr. This was a very small ER and everyone was pretty busy working on the code (we got him back). When we brought back the other patient from the waiting room he was really mad that we had rushed back lifeless dude before addressing his toothache 🤦🏻‍♀️

especially as we're getting closer to the school year, please don't be afraid to do away with the weekly video schedules! make them when you are passionate about them, not because one commenter is pressuring you. there are too many content creators that make a schedule (daily, weekly, etc) that burns them out. don't let YouTube burn you out please! (you've got students to do that for you 😉)

14:00 No, sometimes the only way a patient has contract with a nurse is though the call light. What that woman was doing actually could have led to someone's death. I'm sure she was either forced to stop or escorted out. I just hope no one was hurt.

[Weezle]

EMT from the UK here, I once took a woman in who was CONVINCED that alien's had implanted eggs into her brain. She was calm and a lovely woman to talk to but convinced there were eggs in here brain. There were other odd things she said as well. Shout out to the doctor who gave her an x-ray and showed her it and even printed a copy of it off for her as she was taken for sectioning (psych eval) for her delusions.

If you want ideas for professions, do emt/paramedics. They go into these peoples houses, not just interact with them for a little bit 😁🤣

My mom had a patient grab the stethescope around her neck and pulling it trying to strangle her, luckily her stehoscope was the kind that detaches in that exact kind of situation so she was fine.

Another time a huge man was hallucinating and somehow got up behind her and put his hands on her head, in the position to snap her neck. The patients mother soothed the guy and got him away from my mom. (He wasn't a bad guy, he had a medical condition that caused the crazy and a couple of weeks later he came back to profuselly apologize. He was clearly horrified by what he had done.)

A woman who worked on the same floor as my mom, somehow got knocked to the floor. And then had a patient repeatedly kick her in the head. She was out of work for many months and then when she came back she had permanent coginitive complications.

And that's not including the numerous patients who sexually harrassed or otherwise flirted with my mom.

Or people who came in from prison, and then she later found out they were pedophiles, rapists or murderers (her brother was murdered so those were particularlly hard).

Nurses are the best! My story from a patient’s point of view. I had tried some piece of a cookie, I then began to have some allergic reaction to something inside it. My mom rushed me to the doctor’s and I got into a room. The nurse was super nice and the doctor had immediately gave me some weird vibe. As the doctor tried to put the IV into my vein, he just couldn’t do it. The nurse offered some help but the doctor refused. He then took the IV out three more times as if this was some game. My dad was a nurse for awhile and when I told him the doctor said I had “rolly veins” he knew that was just an excuse. After the third try, I started to tear because he would stay at the most painful part for a minute before taking it out again. I was used to these IVs because I had some terrible disease or something when I was young. Anyways, the nurse then took action and he got it in first try. The doctor immediately left the room after seeing the nurse finish. Luckily the reaction wasn’t severe otherwise I think I would’ve died. Thank you nurses!

It's really hard to understand the number of stories I've heard of medical professionals being verbally, emotionally, and physically assaulted by patients who continue to deny their Covid diagnosis after having to be hospitalized.

Meanwhile my dad of three girls took one for the team and went to Safeway at TWO AM for each of his daughters to buy hygiene products! Said dad was middle of three boys and was totally clueless but was willing to learn!

My mom is a nurse. During contract negotiations, in 2020, the nurses were fighting for 2 things; not to have their retirement cut in half and for more PPE and better protocols to deal with the virus. They basically still had no PPE, 10 months into everything, and protocols were on a “need to know basis.” The head of all nurses in the hospital, not a nurse herself just part of management, got on the local news and said that the nurses were all lying about the lack of PPE and not having well known strict protocols. Yes those were her exact words “the nurses are lying.” Thus turning every nurse and some doctors on the hospital. Now whoever has stayed doesn’t trust what management has to say.

Long rant ahead about working in social care, relevant to 11:10-11:18

I’m from England and I work as a carer in residential homes for elderly patients, often with dementia diagnoses, and the amount of times I have been slapped, kicked, grabbed, spit at. — One resident, who was on privately funded 1:1, actually caused me two separate injuries, on two separate days in less than a week, (one using a broken plastic coat hanger, the other using her nails spy that she would not have cut - both have since left scars on my arm) and when I reacted verbally at the second incident, I was told, by my manager, that she “didn’t know any better” and I was in the wrong because “she has dementia” and “it’s not her fault”, “if she were in her right mind, she would never have done that to you”, this, *despite this manager having never before worked on the floor with this particular resident or her peers* — I was fuming because I had stated numerous times that my mental health could not cope with working on the 1:1 because this resident could be very cruel and insulting to staff and residents, would get physical any time she was told no, and - at the time of the second incident - had already caused me an injury days before; but I was at fault for not avoiding the actions or deescalating the situation. My manager would not hear that I tried deescalation and I was threatened with disciplinary action. — I quit and left there a month later.

I’d like to say one I live in Canada. And I just had my second baby I had via C-section. And the nurses that were taking care of myself and my daughter during aftercare were amazing they went above and beyond they loved it coming in and seeing her they gave me so many tips. And yeah I would have to say nurses are amazing and are very crucial because when you’re stuck to an IV and have a catheter in your body you can’t move and these nurses were so encouraging they helped me as soon as I could get out of the stuff and encourage me with walking helped with everything I needed. Absolutely amazing.

Dudes, nurses are SO amazing! My little brother had cancer for 8 years and the nurses were the absolute coolest people ever. They were super kind to him and me and my sister, they helped him understand the procedures he had to do in a kind and not demeaning way, and he was even friends with some of them. After one of the nurses retired, she went to his birthday party even. All you wonderful people have my gratitude for treating our family so well and I wish you the best in life!

The day that you (hopefully) do summer camp counselor edition I will have MANY stories. I’ve been a camp counselor for years since I was 12, and every year I had story after story.

[zaknotkyle]

My mom is a retired nurse and her stories are worth a whole book deal.
