Because I’m not allowed to function as a paramedic in a hospital setting.
So I’m in the wrong when there was 5 nurses in the room and 3 doctors and two PAs working in the ER?
You are correct. This is completely my fault and I should of stepped into that Covid room without proper PPE and shocked that patient.
Ill remember that for next time.
Yes, it absolutely IS your fault. For many reasons...
1. Your story has now changed or been amended to add other professionals to the equation, when originally it was described as a nurse who could not function until told to do so by a provider.
-What you now describe sounds like a leadership issue, not a scope issue. Too many chefs in the kitchen.
2. You also had a timer running, however initially laid all responsibility on the sole nurse, when actually there was an entire team there, all too dumb to know what to do.
-This is where it is your fault because you saw something, yet chose to say nothing. Medicine is a Team Sport, always. Instead of being smug and watching a clock, use your mouth. It is not license restricted, I assure you. Not speaking up and allowing others to fail is a horrible way to proceed through life and medicine. Do us a favor, and chase a different career.
*And it is now a COVID room so you could not step in...could not knock on the glass, could not knock on the door, could not open mouth. None of which require PPE or jeopardizing your safety. FYI, you can pretty much assume everyone has covid right now, we are two years into this and I find it comical how we do not PPE for the ankle fracture kid probably has covid but not being tested, however the known covid is uber PPE cautionary tale.
Save your too cool for school stories for some other group you wish to disrespect. And no, I am not defensive because you told it about a nurse. It is how you told the story, it is about facts you left out, and it is your unwillingness to speak up when you see something wrong, and moreso simply clock watch, shrug your shoulders and say "not my job" or "not allowed to be a medic in ER".
