After hearing that the wrong fluid had been replaced, and it was penicillin, our department director, attending physician, and head nurse all went to the nurses' station.
With serious faces, they began to check the patient's vital signs, to see if the patient had undergone a penicillin skin test, and to check if he was allergic to penicillin.
You know, penicillin allergy can be fatal. I was so scared at the time that I could only stand by helplessly.
After checking around, we found that the patient was fine. In addition, the patient and his family were easy to talk to, so the incident did not cause any big stir.
After comforting the patient and his family, the director and others asked at the nurses' station who changed the bottle of liquid. Without thinking, I stood up and said that I changed it.
When I stood up to walk out, the nurse who asked me to change the fluid also pointed at me and said, "She changed it."
The feeling of being stared at by countless pairs of eyes was really uncomfortable. I really thought I was going to be kicked out of the hospital.
One thing I remember very clearly was what the head nurse of that department said. She said, "We told you long ago that we don't want interns. We don't want interns. They're so hard to manage, and if anything goes wrong, we'll have to clean up the mess."
I've only been interning for less than a week, and I don't know how I managed to hold back my tears when I heard this while facing this situation.
No one spoke for me. They just stared at me for a long time.
[Later, the director said that it was nothing serious and that I should be more careful next time. Only then was the matter over. After the director and others left, the nurse who asked me to change the fluid glared at me several times and said that I couldn't do any work properly.
At that time I thought I had hung the wrong bottle, but when the head nurse called that nurse away, I learned from other nurses that she had written the wrong name.
She took the wrong amount of liquid from two patients in the same ward and wrote each other's names on them. The patient's family discovered that the color was wrong when they looked at the liquid.
Because some fluids will be infused continuously for several days, family members have some understanding of what medicines will be infused.
The bottle contained red liquid before, but it suddenly turned transparent. Something was definitely wrong.
The other person's fluids were hanging on the IV stand, but the infusion hadn't started yet. Otherwise, this incident would mean that two patients had problems at the same time.]
[I said that I looked at the patient's wristband, matched the name, called out the name, and he agreed to it, so I hung up the liquid, and there was no way it could be wrong.
But I didn’t expect that it was the nurse who mixed up the medicine!
Yes, if I really made a mistake, I would definitely be kicked out of the hospital and would not have the opportunity to continue my internship.
I wasn't scolded at the time. I thought the head nurse and the others felt sorry for me and let me off, but I didn't expect it wasn't my fault.
After that, I stayed in that department for a month and then went to another department. That nurse never spoke to me again and no longer asked interns for help. She was just like that.
This incident also sounded a wake-up call for me, making me extremely careful in my subsequent internships, and I would always ask my team leader if I was unsure.
However, this industry still has many unknown difficulties and frustrations, so after obtaining my nursing license, I only worked for a year before switching to another career.
Those studying medicine and nursing, you must put aside your empathy, treat every patient with a normal attitude, and do your job well. If medical disputes arise, you will be the ones who suffer.
What the interns and nurses shared was truly terrifying.
It turns out that interns in the hospital don’t even get paid. Not only do they have no salary, they also have to pay the hospital.
It is normal to run errands and do odd jobs. As long as you are a newcomer, no matter what industry you are in, it will be like this at the beginning.
Just because someone made a mistake while doing their work, you put all the blame on the other person and expect the intern to take all the responsibility. That's a bit outrageous.
There are also those who cried because they felt sad when seeing a patient die, were blackmailed for thousands of dollars, and were treated as murderers because they gave something. No wonder many doctors and medical staff change their careers mid-job.
Medical disputes are really scary.
Grassroots doctors and nurses do the most tiring and arduous work, receive the lowest wages, and have to pay out of their own pocket to settle the matter if something goes wrong.
The ones who are always bullied are the grassroots staff, and it is like this wherever they are.
Many people say that doctors and nurses earn high salaries, their work is not tiring, and they can earn money just by sitting there.
Then they prescribe some medicine for patients, take some kickbacks, and receive some red envelopes, and everyone makes a lot of money.
This...
This only applies to a small number of people. Most doctors and nurses have no background or backing. Even if they work diligently, they may not earn as much as an ordinary worker.
It’s not so bad in big cities, at least the salary is several thousand.
If you go back to small counties and towns, you will see that each doctor has a base salary of around 2,000 yuan. Add overtime pay and performance bonus, and a doctor may earn 4,000 to 5,000 yuan a month.
And the nurse...
At most, it will cost more than two thousand but less than three thousand.
The consumption in small places is not small. If you go out to a better store and buy a piece of clothing, it will cost hundreds of dollars. With such a small salary, it is really only enough to live.
Let's get back to Xiaoyu's case. The family of the deceased elderly man wanted to extort money from her because she was an intern.
If you scare the kids who have just left school hard enough, they will choose to pay money to keep the peace.
No money?
We'll find her home and make a scene until she can't get a certificate, can't work in the medical field, and everyone knows that she killed someone.
I believe that few people can accept this result, so no matter how much money they are willing to pay for settlement, they will make a profit.
This is also what many people who cause trouble with the medical system think.
They don't care about right or wrong, they just know that making a fuss will benefit them greatly.
If you can't make a fuss yourself, you can also find a professional medical dispute resolution team and give them some of the money you get. It's a sure win.
As for what will happen to the people they have offended, that is not within their consideration.
Many medical disputes reported online came to Jiang Tang's mind, and he couldn't help feeling a little angry.
If you want to make trouble, want to kill someone, want to cause trouble, go find those who accept red envelopes and take kickbacks!
Why should we hurt those good doctors and nurses who work diligently?
Although doctors and nurses are said to be angels in white who save lives and heal the wounded, they are not immortals, let alone gods.
They will do their best to rescue those who can be rescued from the hands of the devil, without the family members asking.
If the patient cannot be rescued, the medical staff cannot be blamed.
Because those who attacked and killed doctors and nurses should really be blacklisted.
What a pity, it’s too difficult.
Many people are unwilling to study medicine now because they are scared by these events.
It is really unimaginable how much time and money it takes to train a doctor who can stand on his own two feet.
I don’t know if there will still be doctors and nurses to treat and provide care for people in the future if things continue like this.
There are too many things that Jiang Tang can’t take care of, but she will definitely take care of those who draw her lucky bag and ask for her help, and give these innocent people an explanation!
