Pageviews: 574 Quiz question: What happens if an intensive care nurse feels unwell and tests positive in their home-care ventilator patient? Of course you know the answer. I wouldn't have asked the question and implicitly given an answer that sounds so inane that it can only be true. In other words, yes, I'm about to have the next experience of a different kind...
Seitenaufrufe: 771 Ein Trauerspiel in sechs Akten So mehr oder weniger Im Motzen bin ich gut, wenn ich will und mir Mühe gebe. Also nahtlos weiter im Text. Ich nehme an, du hast den ersten Teil dieser Geschichte bereits gelesen. Falls nicht, findet du ihn hier. Hat mich 7.000,- € gekostet, die Story, also, Reinschauen lohnt sich. Noch so...
Page views: 855 Nothing but stress and anger And there it was, the PEG. Secretly, quietly and silently. Kaboom. To be honest, it was planned a little differently, my reporting. I hadn't intended to wait over three months to do it. But it wasn't planned that I would have a lot of problems during the first eight weeks with the...
Page views: 887 The change from nose-mouth mask to nose mask typically takes place: Here we go. As usual, I lie on my back with my head turned to the right. You have of course cleaned the nose mask and laid it out with the straps open and not twisted. You lift my head slightly and turn my head straight to the centre. As with the other change...
Pageviews: 897 What follows is the much-publicised sexy photo love story of my masks and me. We start with the change from nose mask to nose-mouth mask. Here's what happens: Good preparation is half the battle. Prepare the nose-mouth mask. Open the lower magnetic fasteners on the lower straps. Make sure that the upper straps are correctly inserted into their respective holders and are not...

Pageviews: 923 Yes, you are reading correctly. Another copy & paste mask tutorial. An employee of my nursing service could possibly have avoided a warning if he had taken a look at the mask before he tried to put it on again and again and again the wrong way round. What is logical for the average person is not for a trained intensive care nurse with expert training...
Page views: 940 Once again you ask yourself, is this necessary? Yet another copy & paste from a user manual? Seriously? Yes, I'm completely serious. I kicked the last carer who tried to put a mask on me the wrong way round in agony out of my team. And he received a warning from his employer. There were still...
Page views: 905 An agonising hour of pointless attempts to explain how to put the mask on correctly... and therefore a cold coffee with disgusting-tasting medication later. 30-day countdown for „Patrick has a PEG inserted“ set to zero yesterday. If the carer had read my instructions instead of making me explain the same shit every time I sat down like some infatuated teenager... he would have...
