Ah Lithium...I remember an interesting incident in the wards where by a patient declined his and we had a night to never forget...no no not that sort of night....(I know how the smutty minds work on here) Ended up with rather a lot of shrink input(over the phone they weren't coming near) plus security and our own Drs (bless them) took refuge in their office Those were the days when disorder ruled with nurses on the front line...

The old hands have recited tales to Mrs Gazza about sobering up drinks in the A&E sluice room with a blast from a cold hose

Agree with Peter I have taken to carrying a bag containing a good quantity of dressings and on 2 or 3 occasions I have re-dressed Chris's leg because the promise of a fresh dressing didn't happen, I know the staff are busy but replacing a soiled, bedraggled dressing is as important as taking 2 hourly obs likewise answering a call buzzer because twice a canular has launched itself and I found Chris looking she had a run in with Mr Stabby on a bad day. ...blood everywhere.

Phil Sadly that illustrates the declining state of the NHS, its a pity that dressing a wound is not just allocated as part of ward routine and just done When I worked..yeah ok I know it was years ago but it infuriated me the amount of coffee breaks some ward staff had.. The ward I worked on at night we just kept going until all the work done but I would go round the unit and see coffee break starters and then couple hours later..similarly with our ward the day staff would come on and drink coffee no matter how busy we were. I would not sit until my work load allowed. One day I had to go into the office to plead for help as we just had so much to do and they all just sat waiting for a report I couldn't give cos the state of the ward. I know they r stretched and busy but sometimes...... I hope Chris recovers enough to get her home.
