Re: Re: A Little Good

I have always been impressed by the dignity and respect our local crews show the patient. It’s the little thing’s that matter because it shows they genuinely care.
Its things like making sure (at a cardiac arrest) that the wires from the defibrillator pads aren’t underneath the hands of the person doing the CPR, so that the patients body is not to bruised/damaged any more than is absolutely necessary.
Or talking to the patient and apologising for subjecting them to vigorous CPR and a battery of invasive procedures “Sorry to be doing all this to you, and we don’t even know your name.”
And when it’s all over and despite everyone’s best efforts, the patient dies, they then straighten the room, then remake the bed and gently put the patients back into the bed from which we had to swiftly unceremoniously haul them half an hour before.
It’s how you would want your family and friends to be treated.
Also I always feel sorry for the ‘home helps’ or people from the ‘warden service’ who often seem to be on scene, they have probably been looking after the patient for years ( maybe seeing them twice or more a day.) Many are very upset by what happens, and they seem to have had little preparation, training or back up from management
