Slowly over the next couple hours all my muscles started to tighten up, eventually locking me pretty much in place for over 4 hours as it left my system, all they could do was up my dose of pain meds to make it bearable. They called it something but I cannot for the life of me remember what the name of that reaction was that happened to me. Do you know?

Thank you for this. I grew up with nursing parents. My mom is currently getting her PhD in Nursing. She has done everything. Flight nurse, running ICU and ER. Was even a professor in a college for a while. My dad was a night nursing supervisor for a whole hospital. I practically grew up in that hospital going to work with him. I would hang out at the nurses' stations while he did his rounds. It can be a strangely fun place.😂 One ward I could never really stand to be in is the burn ward. I have a sensitive nose, I grew used to the smell of a hospital, but there is something about the smells in a burn ward I could never get over. The nursery was my favorite. I never held the newborns, of course, but seeing those little babies always made my night. They used to play a little lullaby over the speakers when babies were born. They stopped at night to help patients sleep. I used to know what all the codes meant over the PA system. I miss those days. He is currently a home health nurse.

Respect is essential, but so is qualification. Whatever “know medicine” in this context means, a nurse is not a doctor. You could also make a video about how some (only some!) nurses get mad hostile once you quickly outgrow them in knowledge after a year in residency (ignoring the vastly more theoretical knowledge you already had to begin with). For some reason, writing this is controversial. Imagine a doctor would storm in and act like they are Nursy mcNurse expert. Wouldn’t be okay. Why am I writing this? Because the US healthcare machinery is an utter mess, and mid level creep is an actual problem poisoning it further; for everyone: For good doctors, good nurses and especially for overwhelmingly most patients who have no clue about what’s going on.

@@TomJacobWAs a former RN, I concur. I cringe every time someone says “Nurses know as much/more than doctors.” No, they don’t. Helping a new doc is not the same as practicing medicine.

Don't forget -- u can always ask the pharmacists on duty about medications, proper doses, and labs. That's what their specialty is, & most of them will be happy to answer your questions! You're not completely alone out there! They also have a crap ton of clinical knowledge outside of just medicine. So if u r the only doctor on call that night and u have a question the nurse can't answer, give the pharmacist a call!

@Michala1998 Damn, that's sad. Pharmacists are so under utilised. There should always be one on call. At least over in my part of the world, it's standard practice to have an on call pharmacist. Hope it's a practice that gradually spreads further. Gives pharmacy students some hope too of a life outside of retail hell 😝

Oh I remember this like yesterday from 8 years ago... I was shitting bricks during my first ICU month in residency. Not an easy learning curve, and very scary dealing with critically ill patients and not knowing anything. Thankfully my experience was so much better after that year and my subsequent ICU months in the following years after getting the hang of it and actually knowing what to do! Good luck to all those newbies, it will get better! The nurses will definitely help you out!

A few years back they introduced an electronic system to "make things easier". Then one summer I had to fill in patients papers, of course double checked by the doctor, I have never been met with a more infuriating, convoluted, system in my life. I would much rather just have physical papers and some segregators filled with them and labeled. Having to dig through 20 tabs to get what I want, deciphering patient sheets, took me hours to do.

I can see why someone would rather have paper. But there is a limit on how much paper you can store. Paper files can easily get lost. I can imagine a large hospital who sees hundreds of patients a day would want a digital system. Just don’t expect it to be good. It will make you want to pull hairs out lol

The ability to see someone’s vitals from 12 hours ago, see their EKG results from a day ago, their imaging studies, outside hospital records prior to arrival, exactly what meds the ED did or didn’t give, all the specialty notes.. all from one spot. Rather than having to dig through files and walk around the unit or call people up just for them not to answer. Takes a lot of guesswork out, esp inpatient

@@JasonB808 At this point im of the opinion that there should be small scanners where doctors put in papers that are scanned and put into the system, of course legibly. Then simply have several folders as you would for papers and everyone knows where to find anything they need. thats just my rudimentary idea, might be even more impossible. But at this point flipping through 20 tabs, having to decipher what was put in what, having these odd places for scales. the biggest issue is perscribing an investigation or sending them somewhere for example for a head and neck TK (poland is where I am at) and the system doesnt have Head and neck but Head, and then seperately neck. Issue is if you perscribe them this investigation this way they will be given two dates for these two exams... or worse yet it will cause a system issue in the radiology departament because they are trying to input things when they technically shouldnt be able to or put things together. It causes an issue. When this was all on paper oddly enough things were far more dynamic, far more efficient, I have no idea how they managed to mess it up this bad.

The intern’s work is checked by senior physicians but keeping up with the workload is daunting and it is a sudden shock after being responsible for only a small number of patients during a medical school rotation.

ICU nurses learn a ton from really good seasoned intensivists, and the proximity is the game changer for that. Anywhere else in a hospital you typically have to page a doc and wait 30+ min for a stressed response with no teaching. 90% of ICU physicians love teaching and sharing their information which just makes the whole unit better.
