LOL at all the people in D&D who think doctors never react to being assaulted or accosted by patients and are somehow always super special professionals compared to police. Lost count of how many lovely/combative drunks and patients I've seen knocked out with surprise narcotics or even straight up intubated and hospitalized because the attending had enough of their poo poo.

Haha no kidding

There's also the classic "you won't stop assaulting/being belligerent to hospital staff so I guess you don't get painkillers when we set your broken bones"

The nurses/docs in the ER were vindictive as hell when I was there, and more than one time I saw unnecessary foley catheters inserted with the comment of "we're making sure to give him the biggest one we have". And then a combative guy who was intubated, vented and put on an IV drip of succinylcholine (conscious but completely paralyzed).

They've recently started taking the tact that if you give them any poo poo and you don't like it when they give it right back and then walk out AMA they will attempt to have you held for a mental health order and petition you be involuntarily committed. Enjoy whatever they do to you once they have the legal authority to choose what's "medically necessary" when your strapped to the bed. poo poo makes the jail restraint chair look like a lazy boy.

SirDrinksAlot: Aug 6, 2006; The wicked flee when none pursueth

Lmao as a nurse at a major hospital I can tell you that poo poo never happens.

With new HCAP scores being the main source of hospital reimbursement RNs and Phys are being pushed to put up with major poo poo on the daily.

I get punched, kicked, bit, and spat on the reg and I have to smile and loving deal with it. Yeah we can get an order for restraints if their combative but god drat it's not like these are zip ties to the bed and we have to reassess them every 2 hours to see if the restraints can be removed.

Dealing with lovely doctors who won't give me the meds/restraints I need, the shift towards patient satisfaction ( yes even the OD withdrawal patients) and constant physical verbal abuse are some of the major reasons why I want to go back to law enforcement. At least in LE when I dealt with assholes there I didn't have to pander to them and then get yelled at by my boss because I wasn't sweet as pie after getting spat in the face by a hep c patient.

Then again I work on a medical surgical telemetry floor. My wife tells me it's better in the ER because the physicians are right there, but these people get admitted and end up on my floor and I have to deal with them without physicians present and inept residents who panic.

God I can't wait to get into the academy it pains me just thinking about going back to work tonight.

Special police is a security guard that's imbued with arrest powers on their property and can sometimes carry a gun. They can't take their weapon home or anything and outside of their building they're useless.

I guess when you pay for your health care, things like "patient satisfaction" exist but in our socialist utopia your government issued healthcare is as enjoyable as Comrade Doktor wants it to be.

I don't know what HCAP is but its some pussy poo poo if doctors can't screw with patients.

Yeah, I saw this very thing happen just the other night. No sooner did some guy get lovely with a doc about something minor and allegedly "tried to strike the doc" the guy was tackled by five nurses/techs, strapped down, and cathed for no reason other than doctor enjoyment. Then they knocked him out. Had to make sure he was awake for the dick stick.

Kind of stuff happens all the time in ERs. I know it's not uncommon because I frequently hear similar stories from nurse/ems friends at other hospitals. No idea how things go down on Tele Units tho.

My hospital is a non profit organization and most of the patients I deal with never actually pay for any of their own health care.

Our ER gets the lowest scores but that's average nationwide.

Right now my floor is going into a whole revamp with this new system and our floor has the lowest scores aside from the ER.

Except those scores don't take into account our demographic consists of mostly AMS patients, ETOH, and OD/withdrawal/baker acts.

It's not that I want to be a cop so I can be an rear end in a top hat to them back, I just want to not have to coddle grown rear end people and walk around on egg shells.

I hear it's a lot better at the for profit hospitals, but I've already passed the background check and got my foot in the door. I'm so god damned excited you guys have no idea.

Like I said it's different in the ER but nurses still have to watch themselves. An RN moved a patient who was laying on the floor with his foot to tell him to stop laying down in the middle of the ER waiting room. Patient complained that the RN "kicked him" went to the video saw that the RN nudged him with his foot and the RN was fired.

Is it like this in all hospitals? I'm sure it's not, but nurses and doctors don't have free reign like you guys think we do.

SirDrinksAlot: Aug 6, 2006; The wicked flee when none pursueth

ADAB what does that mean exactly? Let me be clear I'm under no illusions that i'll be dealing with the same caliber of people that i'm dealing with right now. But i've down law enforcement before when I was in the Coast Guard doing mom & pop boardings and VBSS on commercial fishing vessels and dealing with the occasional non compliant cigarrete boats and I miss it. It's not just the job I also miss the comraderie.

After I left the Military i became an EMT really enjoyed EMS and figured I had my GI bill so i'd go to nursing school. I transported a lot of patients to and from assissted living facilities and saw what terrible care they were getting and it angered me that someone could care so little for human life. As a NurseI like the mental challenge, the pathophysiology of various diseases, and when i'm not over my head with tasks to complete i'm able to sit down with patients for some education or support and sometimes this job is really fufilling. That human connection, it's something that I try to do for all my patients to let them know that they are a person, not just a number in the system not just a check mark on my task list, but a person with desires needs and feelings.

However most of the time I can't do that for my patients.

When I first get on my job is to quickly assess my patients by acuity of illness. For example if someone is there for a stomach ache I usually see them after the person who's there for difficulty breathing.

Sometimes I've got nothing but critical patients and I have to deal with questions from family members on patients that I haven't even seen yet. Then I get questions from doctors, calls from pharmacy, and I sometimes have time sensitive medications like blood products or antibiotics to give to patients.

Then sometimes my patients decide that now is a good time to fall, poo poo themselves, or try to die and that takes up more of my time.

Throughout it all I maintain my composure and compassion with my patients because I know most of them don't know what they are doing.

I had a patient who screamed everytime you moved her, not because she was in pain but because she had been abused at her past nursing home. However she had issues with skin break down due to incontinence so I had to turn her every two hours and check her constantly to see if she had wet herself. The first time I rolled her she tried to punch me but I grabbed her hands and tried to explain to her the reason why I had to turn her and she spat in my face. So I washed my face, put a surgical mask on her, and continued with my job with her screaming her lungs out, but as soon as I finished and left her alone she was happy and relaxed.

This is what I deal with on a daily basis with six patients. More because while I may be responsible for those patients really i'm also responsible for all other call lights that may go off in my wing while other nurses are in other patients rooms.

It doesn't end with patients, I called a doctor and got chewed out for calling for a medication that they had already put in on admission(but they hadn't and that's why I called) then was accused of giving her attitude when I confirmed with her it had not in fact been ordered then told how insensitive I was because she was having such a terrible day.

Also a patients family won't leave me alone because he has a rash that they are sure is bed bugs, mumps, measles, or the Black Plague but want me to diagnose it (doctor is refusing to come in to see the patient because it was 3 in the morning). When really I know the reason why he has a rash is because he's a chronic alcoholic with liver disease but whenever I try to explain to the patient that that could be the cause they yell at me because he doesn't drink even though he came in with an EOTH level off the chart. Which takes away from the time I have to spend with my really sick patients.

But you know what annoys me the most? When I see drug seekers come in with more on their medication administration record than i've ever seen in before and they continually pound on the call button because I was late on their ativan by 20 minutes because I was doing a code in another room and then they chew me out. But my patient who has bone cancers with mets all over the body who is in constant pain gets his pain medication reduced because his physician doesn't want him to get addicted and his family won't make him comfort measures only because they want to hold onto the idea that he'll pull through.

So please, tell me how much worse is law enforcement.

ADAB is me. ADAB is you. ADAB is all of us.

ADAB is a reminder that blaming all law enforcement for the actions of literally a handful of cops is like blaming all of healthcare because some hillbilly doctor in Mississippi diddled his 12 year old appendectomy patient. Or any number of horrors doctors have committed over the years mostly involving raping and drugging their patients.

SirDrinksAlot: Aug 6, 2006; The wicked flee when none pursueth

And I get that, but I'm excited about law enforcement because I think it's a job that'll be similar to my job doing ems, rewarding at times, challenging both mentally and physically, and one I won't dread going to work.

That being said, I'll always have my nursing license and as long as I work 1 shift a month it'll stay active. I'm only 26, I used my GI bill to go to school and still have some left to go through the academy. I would rather go through it now and find out I hate it and go back to nursing than always think "what if". I know it'll be just as frustrating and some days will be just as bad.

But I have to do something different if for anything just for my sanity.

Then again maybe I've completely misread the intention of your post and am waaay off which is entirely possible as I'm operating on three hours of sleep.
