Family, Trauma, & Healing - 24 Hours in A&E - Medical Documentary 

I agree. When our daughter was born we were in the ER all the time until she was about 12. Then we hadn’t been there for anyone in our household - a pause of 25 years. Now my wife is in there a lot, unfortunately.

I have learned so much about the body and the impact of injuries. Love this series.

Wish ER's were better in the USA.

Empathy and compassion is in too short of a supply in most places, but not in this case!

@@deenafenwick8173 I have been there ( emergency rooms) several times, I have never had a bad experience.

She is! And she reminds me of Frances Tomelty. 😅

Hello Denise, I feel for you as I am in the same position as you are, being a nurse and not being able to work any more because of severe illness. I can relate to the work of the nurses and all the hospital staff and it reminds me of how much I liked the hospital as a work environment, and at the same time it makes me incredibly sad not being able to work there any more. I hope you found other meaningful things in your life. For me it's my dog and my friends. Sending you love and comfort! ❤ Teanma

@@TeanmaResanaria-ls9eu i have my family and church now. They are very supportive. Thanks for sharing ! Hugs and prayers!

Bless you.

Wonderful calling

You're absolutely right. I hope your mother has a fantastic outcome. Blessings from Colorado Springs.

It’s Squeaky wheel just fyi.

Skreeky??

I agree!

I agree!

Agree 💯 I am a retired RN of 42 yrs in the US! This medical staff is awesome! They seem so calm, cool & collective but believe me they aren’t. They are all so well trained! God bless them.

God bless……. Do not ever feel “i wish id have done something different”….. no… you did the best …

She really has, so sad, she’s a sweetheart.

One time when I was in hospital, I started shuffling to the bathroom - the nurse stopped me, said “put these booties on, you don’t want to be barefoot this is a hospital”. Eeeewwww…….

Yeah - talk about unsanitary 🤮

@@deb_ellen9733 😳 I was at a hospital one day with my friend who had ALS, so he was there to see all of his doctors (10 or 12 - it was a very long day). Stupidly, I wore flip flops 🤦🏻 By 2:00 in the afternoon my feet were on fire and gritty but I didn’t have time to do anything about it. By the time I was able to kick my flops off and look at my feet - they were absolutely black and covered with grit that looked a bit like ground glass. I got in the shower, gave them a good scrub with a soft nylon brush and some anti-bacterial soap. They were still dark so I kept repeating the scrubbing process until they looked better. When I got out of the shower I sat on the edge of my bed and put my feet in a plastic bin that I had poured a layer of Bactine (because it has lidocaine in it) in and I soaked my feet. After about 20 minutes they were fairly numb, so my wife lathered them with Neosporin plus (because it has lidocaine in it) ointment, put some over-sized socks on that are way too big for my feet, and I laid there and cried for two hours before I finally fell asleep. I’ve never worn flip flops to any hospital since!!! PS I also had taken photos of my feet before I scrubbed them and I sent those photos and a letter to the director of the hospital. I told her I realize my choice of footwear was not the wisest choice, but I also told her I expect the hospital floors to not be that gross either. She apologized and explained that it’s difficult to keep the floors clean when there are thousands of people with dirty shoes and wheelchair tires tracking dirt in all day, and she promised to try to have the floors cleaned a few times during the day instead of just at night. I’ve been back to the facility several times and true to her word, I saw mops on every floor several times. One of the custodians told me all he does now is scrub the main hallway floors all day long on one particular floor. Over and over. He told me there’s one guy scrubbing every floor all day long. But I’m still not wearing flip flops to the hospital ever again! 😉

Me too! But I think the girl was just not educated about all the germs. 😢 The staff really should have told her!

It’s a safety risk for the patient. They weigh all the options!

A safety risk or a quality of life one. Do you end the life of the person in theatre or do you give friends and family the chance to be with them as their life finishes?

@@owenmerkel7836 That’s what I meant by weighing all the options. ☺️

Educate yourself before you speak

No point of putting a frail failing elderly person through it if it’s probably going to kill him.

Mine isn't.

Very clear.

I think that’s your eyes or connection, it is fine.

Don't need gloves for everything. Handwashing protocol

Gloves are not always sanitary

Anything more intelligent to say?

@@SJC49 Not at the moment.

Thought not.

@@SJC49 Oh wait, I've thought of something. In a paper presented at The International Colloquium of Humour Research, neuroscientists from Johns Hopkins University discussed the phenomenological parameters of patients subjected to surgical removal of sensus humor and the ethical implications thereof.

@@sarahsnowe Did you need some relief 'lite?'

Did you not see her foot? Glad you are not a doctor! Of course she needs an X-ray!

I thought the same thing. 🤔 I think they forgot to pursue that part of the story...
