Pageviews: 585 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...
Page views: 838 A tragedy in six acts So I'm more or less good at moaning if I want to and make an effort. So on with the text. I assume you've already read the first part of this story. If not, you can find it here. The story cost me €7,000, so it's well worth a look. One more thing...
Page views: 891 Nothing but stress and trouble 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 for the first eight weeks due to the...
Page views: 905 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.

Pageviews: 921 This 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...

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: 964 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...
Seitenaufrufe: 974 Eine quälende Stunde sinnloser Erklärungsversuche, wie man die Maske korrekt aufsetzt… und einen deshalb kalten Kaffee mit ekelhaft schmeckenden Medis später. 30-Tage-Countdown für „Patrick lässt sich eine PEG legen“ gestern auf Null gesetzt. Hätte der Pfleger meine Anleitung gelesen statt mich bei jedem Hinsetzen denselben Scheiß wieder neu erklären zu lassen wie so ein verliebter Teenager… hätte...
