    This has always been common in UK nursing homes , they will use Ativan , Valium , Morphine to have an easy shift

    I know she was being unprofessional. but what about doctors making life and death decisions, like lets put them in comas oh their dead or their over 70 too old for treatment. It happens all the time I think. at the end of the day Walk a mile in someone elses shoes and then theres the why arn't the children looking after their parents. their like you and I they have bad days too. or have a threshhold they reach. maybe politicians and jornalists should have to do 6 months in dom care. As for empathy when people die around you every month after a few months you need to become harder and care less or I suppose have a breakdown. who supports the suport worker in the community. No one.

    Tbh, I am not really shocked and I would like to caution everyone to make any judgement from this short clip alone. We do not know who that resident is, we do not know her illnesses and behaviour, we do not know how direct contact between the nurse and her looks like.
    Some may find it difficult to believe, but just because you wear scrubs, you don't suddenly start unconditionally loving everyone to the depths of your heart and neither do patients love us. To work in healthcare and nursing is a very draining job, not least because of the conditions that we have to endure around the world frustration builds. And all that frustration will sometimes show. The key questions is how it will.

    Just to present everyone with one possible exculpating scenario: The resident might suffer from dementia and interpret any pain as a nondescript "worsening condition" and demand admission to the hospital twice a day. The morphine might be an absolutely adequate measure to relieve her of that pain and thereby erase that desire to go to the hospital. Certainly, "Some oramorph will shut her up" is not a very courteous way to put it, but she did not say that to the resident herself. She said it in a confidential environment, somewhere where it would not hurt the resident's feelings. She might very well then go up to the patient and politely offer the medication, without showing any frustration to her.

    Now, I'm not saying that this is what happened. I am just saying that from this clip alone, we cannot make any inference that she treated patients badly in any way.

    Guess how often I'll joke about some patient or another. Have you ever tried to explain a complex medical procedure to someone who didn't know that the term "table salt" refers to the salt we put in our food, to get their consent for said procedure? In the long run you can't go through this again and again without cracking a joke or making a comment to your colleagues every now and then. I would never tell a patient that I think they're stupid and I always do my best to treat them in the same respectful and polite manner I show to everyone. But what I say to my colleagues is nobody's business and certainly doesn't belong on national TV.

    That’s disgusting. I’m a nurse and what she’s doing is chemical restraint. Even if the lady had dementia you give them reassurance and care… horrible person.

    This is what's wrong with the NHS, and general workplaces all over the shop…

    Auld hats…

    Auld hats, thinking they know better, looking for the easiest road to take in any situation… Not for the person theyre serving or treating, but for themselves.

    No care, no empathy, no skill… No humanity

    The amount of anger and hate displayed by nurses in different medical offices is insane. They speak with so much arrogance and show no willingness to do their job properly. They rarely wear name tags or sign the letters/emails so no one knows who is the disrespectful ones! They are attitudy and lousy. So far havent encountered a decent nurse.

    I've worked with some of the most wicked RNs and CAs over the years ever Drs… As an RN myself, I chose to become one, I studied my a§§ off as a single parent, got a diploma back then, I then went onto do my degree getting a first class with honours, 1-1 I was so proud of myself… I didn't do my training to be cruel, if anything I always go the extra mile… If I'm frustrated and it can happen I'm human, take 5 minutes a breather and get back to it… There is NEVER any reason to speak of an individual whose care you are responsible for in such a crass, nasty and totally unprofessional manner…
    I always work like I'm under the camera 24/7 I've nothing to hide, I work under cctv knowingly but people hide cameras the most I'd do to be red faced would be to fart and blame the patient… 😂 But in all seriousness these people who simply cannot be bothered answering calls, 8/10 when you go to a patient in a nursing home they're perfectly fine but you still go, even if you have just been explain you'll be back in 10 minutes as with another patient, in the meantime ask a colleague if you're super busy to make them a brew that passes a little time, often anxiety with elderly, confusion but whatever they're asking for make the time… Once I've done my medication round which is always a big round to do, I do observations throughout as needed… Check catheters, offer drinks, have a conversation, if anything I forget to self care, I'm off sick presently having gone through stage 4 non hodgkins lymphoma and covid for which I was on a ventilator… I've been both sides of the bed more times than I care to admit, multiple major operations, I'm also a type 1 diabetic and live with multiple disease and injuries… I need to self care to give my patients my all and be the Nurse that they need and deserve… 💚🐾 When I see attitudes like this it makes me so angry, I'm sure I went there as an agency RN years ago, following this, seeing it now that clinical room looks too familiar, I've worked in many homes where multiple sackings have happened, safeguarding in progress I simply get on, often I'm offered a job but only taken up on a few of such offers over the years those homes I did work for totally changed for the better… I really wish these individuals weren't part of the profession but they're in all walks of life… I did my teachers degree over 10 yrs ago and even there sone of what I came across was just the same… Out of the two I find Nursing a hell of a lot more stressful but I do still love my job… 💚🐾

    . There's a lot of people in here who don't understand the medical industry there is no way you can understand what was going on here you don't know the patients records. Clearly she knew the person. Because she memorize her medications and knew that she was due for morphine. If it's there as needed and the patient is calling out there is a possibility that the person is in paiin or it is a psychiatric pt. . So she got her pain meds on time and that's a problem LOL come on now stop it. I'm sure she didn't say that in front of the patient. This is a private conversation with who she think is a friend or coworker. How many people have never shown a little frustration behind the scenes. Yeah she seemed a little harsh and I would watch her closely but if this is all you got I'm sorry this isn't enough. Everybody's so judgmental. This is a very small clip I need to see more this is not enough I'm sorry I just can't get on board with this hate train. You know what's real funny I agree with so many folks. Don't take your parents to a home especially if you think that you can do a better job. By all means I truly agree there.😁 God bless your dear hearts

    how can we avoid these issues ? avoid vulnerable elders being abused at care home? we will all become older one day and this is very concerning. it seems not only the UK but other countries all have similar problems regardless of price. some more expensive care homes like the one charging patient 100k pounds in Surrey still abuse patients and elders….

    December 26, 2023 at 3:28 pm

    Holy shit. Can you imagine HOW MANY medical professionals do this just to not be bothered by patients??? Jesus this is scary. Just think about this…. For every time somebody is caught doing something, there is 10 or more same scenarios that aren’t noticed. Fml this world is terrifying.

    I've worked healthcare twice. First when I was a youngster bout 20y ago. This doesn't surprise me.

    My mum and dad don't like the British nursing profession. They think nurses are not what they claim to be. "There's something about them…I just don't like them" says mum.

    At first I thought she was unfair, now I know what she means.

    Don’t blur her face. She deserves all the shame. I hope her family knows how disgusting she is

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
