itku2er Posted July 24, 2008 Author Posted July 24, 2008 I'm assuming that was the SPO2 upon the staff finding the patient. I doubt they left her like that. It's easy for us to trash the folks at extended care facilities, but we don't work in an environment where 30 to 1 is considered an acceptable patient - provider ratio. I'm not saying that bad care doesn't happen, but Itku2er already told us she was the nurse at the facility and I think we can agree that she's smarter than the average bear. Thank you Doug :oops: :oops: But forgot to mention I am grumpier than the average bear :twisted:

spenac Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 That sort of goes with the territory... Grumpy was not the word that came to my mind. :shock:

Kaisu Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 for what it is worth. a friend of mine and er doc. told me a common s/s of pe.. calf pain.. not baby cow either. ha calf pain indicates a thrombosis NOT an embolism.
streetsurgeon Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 thanks for clearing that up. i guess even docs are wrong once in a while.
