Postcards from the night shift(look at me). 06:33 - Oct 12 with 1705 views | BlueBadger | It's been a busy night here, but I've had a real moment of 'yep, I did a good job there' tonight. Had a cardiac arrest call around 3. By the time myself and the rest of the arrest team got there, the nurse making the call had made the emergency call(obvs), not only started CPR but administered a shock and got the individual in question back into a proper, stable cardiac rhythm to live to see another day. The patient in question is now on their way to A Specialist Hospital for ongoing treatment thanks to this nurse, who was a student of mine this time last year. So, knackered as I am, I'm feeling a touch smug, right now. [Post edited 12 Oct 2019 6:35]

It feels like it happened to someone else and was long ago now, but I'm very thankful for the chance to continue my life which is wholly down to medical professionals. Good job, and you're entitled to feel very smug. | |

I'm claiming double smug points because the person doing all the saving was a student of mine last year. | |

Postcards from the night shift(look at me). on 10:21 - Oct 12 with 1381 views | WeWereZombies | I am looking out of my window at the moment, across the glen, at a house where a few weeks ago a son had to do half an hour of CPR on his dad (breaking a few ribs in the process and being told to carry on despite the disconcerting noise) all the time with a phone wedged between his shoulder and ear getting the best of advice from the NHS. Ordinarily I would say pride goes before a fall but in this instance don't worry about feeling smug (or even double smug) , it is because of people like you that knowledge about heart attack and stroke gets disseminated and lives that would otherwise stop short carry on. As for the rest of us, we can do our bit by being aware of the possibility (remote as it may seem) of having to carry out CPR or at least ask someone else to. We can know where our nearest defibrillator is and how to use it (instructions are given on the equipment) as well as campaigning and contributing to make more defibrillators installed. Well done btw. | |
