being a new ME in ICU setting,
i hav to go thru an intensive orientation which lasted for a month
sitting in front of the nursing counter
going thru policy and procedure today with my nurse clinician:
our normal routine after lunch...
but the special topic today is death procedure..
being very patient with me,
my nurse clinician go thru every form tat needed to be filled up,
every colors cards function,
and a lot more....
~~~~~~~~
a while later
we heard some feedback...
apparently, one of our very critically ill patient's father overheard our conversation..
and commented that we have written his daughter's death certificate..
OMG!!!
that feedback really alarmed my nurse clinician and me
after knowing that the her teaching stirred up such a big misunderstanding,
my nurse clinician explained to one of his relative about the teaching session and we were definitely not getting prepared for his daughter's what-so-ever...
i dunno what is the outcome but i really hope that he will not continue his misunderstanding
~~~~~~~
well, we understand that sometimes, people are under a lot of stress and things might get a bit sensitive
just to clarify,
we will NOT prepare in advance for any death cos we will not let go till the last minute
as a professional, we work professionally
we try to give the best treatment to our patient as ordered by our physician
