I am a diabetic and cannot drink and DON,T. Yet it came up in my blood work I had o,7 alcahol in my blood. Anothe time it came up in my blood workI had seizures and I have never had one. I write for copys of all my hospital stays as accidents do happen and you never are told this. I showed my dr and he did nothng.. but said I know you do not drink. Nice going huh ? Why would any one say any thing to this nurse for taking pictures   Thousands of mistakes are made every year. aaaaaalthough this was no mistake. Send for your copies and make sure none have been made on you. The hospitals are not as safe as you think. It,s all about money honey.

The pictures were taken on purpose.  What I would like to know is why whoever took the picture wasn't punished too. Everyone in that room, except for the patient, should have been suspended along with this idiot nurse.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cearralyn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 21st 2008 8:31AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nurse Risks Job, Posts Photos of Brain Surgery on Facebook]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/08/20/nurse-risks-job-posts-photos-of-brain-surgery-on-facebook/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/08/20/nurse-risks-job-posts-photos-of-brain-surgery-on-facebook/</guid><description><![CDATA[hmmm... so all of you with yer panties in a big wad, you're gonna tell me that you'd recognize your uh... say it was your appendix ... that was being "posed with" in the pix..?  And you'd recognize your completely draped and RE-draped silhouette form laying there on the table?  Granted, the overall undignified "aura" in the OR (after YOU had to sign literally, your "life" away to even be in there under all those drapes) would be shocking to discover, but it goes on ALL the time... unbeknownst to the sleeping patient.. usually.  When my son had his appendix removed, he came out of surgery reciting EVERYTHING that went on - he heard and remembered all the conversation throughout his surgery which was all about their income tax crap and whatever else you and your colleagues at the office would chit chat about at work.  <br>  IMHO, the ones who should be doing the suing here should be the other "professionals" that were inadvertantly involved in this classless nurse's self entertainment while on the job... that is IF they were also INthe photographs.. and if so, were even recognizable in their surgical attire.  Otherwise, the nurse should be fired if for no other reason than her "job" or even her presence in the OR was OBVIOUSLY another UNnecessary expense to the hospital and therefore the patient.  Bottom line - someone had too much TIME on her hands..]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mariucchi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 21st 2008 10:34AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nurse Risks Job, Posts Photos of Brain Surgery on Facebook]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/08/20/nurse-risks-job-posts-photos-of-brain-surgery-on-facebook/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/08/20/nurse-risks-job-posts-photos-of-brain-surgery-on-facebook/</guid><description><![CDATA[As a fellow nurse myself, she should be dismissed from the nursing field and yes even jailed for breaking HIPPA rules and regulations states that in the clause.  What is wrong with society is people are quick to sue, suing the nurse is one thing but to sue the hospital over it, is totally uncalled for and unethical in itself, basically its just greedy.  I believe if no action is taken against the nurse than the hospital board of review needs to be under a magnifying glass, but to sue is way overboard.  A lot of people are afraid to go into the health care field cause we are quick targets to sue if all 'i's aren't dotted and 't's crossed.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MaleNurse06]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 2nd 2008 10:25PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
