    Personal Narrative: The ER Waiting Room

    The ER waiting room smelled stale. Sick babies and toddlers were crying, waiting to see a doctor. My brother was laying on the tan tiled hospital floor. He was shaking terribly as the antibiotics from the previous hospital wore off and the infection set in more. Both of his hands were red and swollen. His right hand, had a black mark from where the IV initially infected. His left hand was swollen to the size of a small balloon, kind of like a blown up rubber glove I used to get from the doctor when I was younger. My mom took her jacket off to cover him. His skin was hot to the touch but he was still freezing. His fever was 101.2 but there were no open rooms in the ER at our second attempt at a hospital. We had to get him antibiotics…

They also asked me if I could go with a phlebotomist to drop some blood to the Operation room. When we got there I noticed read lines on the floor meaning we could not pass until we had full gowns.

    Nurse to Patient Ratio

    As Ms. Smith, a Registered Nurse with ten years experience in the orthopedic unit, entered the floor, she was alarmed to see that one of her coworkers had called in sick. In this 30-bed unit, the typical staff to patient ratio was 1:9 or 1:10, a ratio borne out of necessity due to funding cuts and decreases in Medicare reimbursement, as well as shortages in the pool of nurses. Ms Smith knew right then it was going to be a long stressful night because not only did she have to take care of her normal ten patients she would now have to take on about fifteen, five more than normal. Ms. Smith, after reviewing patient information, walked toward the room of her first patient on this night, an elderly gentleman recovering from a hip replacement earlier that day. Although it was after 11:00 PM, a time when most patients would be sleeping, five of her patients had received prosthetic joints that day and required additional care, particularly related to pain management. While talking with the first patient, Ms. Smith could…

    The Diving Bell And The Butterfly Analysis

    Cathy was stressed and had to plan how she would “attack” the doctors with questions, if she hoped to get any answers. After Al’s time at the hospitals, Al enrolled in a rehabilitation facility, Magee (Bauby, 1997, p. 104). At Magee, Cathy had to adjust to the idea she could easily communicate to the health care providers; Cathy was accustomed to trying to pry information out of the doctors like “guerrilla attacks” (Crimmins, 2001, p. 115). This change that Cathy witnessed is transferable to Mr. Bauby’s experience in acute care. Lack of communication was the “normal” and resulted in a colossal effort to have the option to communicate. Looking at Mr. Bauby’s and Cathy’s experiences, the barriers the staff and doctor are facing is the busyness of their jobs. The staff most likely did not realize that they were not giving Mr. Bauby or Cathy an option to communicate. Although a lack of consideration to be patient and give Mr. Bauby or Cathy the option to communicate led to poor patient care. The staff can adjust the time they give to each patient, asking questions, and waiting for a…
