I try to answer other people’s call lights if I’m not busy, because if my work is done and I’ve helped out with other people’s work, I can fully commit to slacking off guilt free. And usually what people want is bathroom, snacks, and/or pain meds, all of which are pretty easy to address and if there’s anything too complicated, I can always call the nurse. Anyway, I go answer this call light, and it’s for a patient I don’t know and have never spoken to before. I pop in like “hi can I help you?” as I feel so quietly smug about how Helpful I am being, and the patient goes, “do you know if I’m dying tonight? If I am, I should call my family.”
To be so clear. I was expecting like. a request for a ginger ale. I was not prepared emotionally for a very sick stranger grappling with the angst of potentially imminent death. So I go, “UMMM. I DON’T KNOW. LEMME CHECK WITH YOUR NURSE AND SEE IF SHE KNOWS.” This seemed heinously inadequate in the face of their obvious despair, so I added, “probably not in the next ten minutes if you’re able to sit up and ask, but I can’t make any promises.”
Don’t think that was the ideal follow up sentence. But it didn’t seem to make the patient any sadder than they already were. I used to really live in fear of being the nurse in someone’s anecdote about a wildly inappropriate thing said to them by their nurse. It’s not so much as I’ve gotten over that fear as I’ve accepted that my job thrusts me into a lot of situations where I have to talk about extremely intense topics to the people most intimately affected by those topics, often with no time, no prep, and no information. At this point, I just try my best to ground my inarticulate fumblings in as much genuine care as I can express, and thank God I don’t fuck up worse and more often.

Okay but it is cute how they just pass him around and assess him as a love language.

Fucking Christ I had the most irritating argument recently.
So Big Joel put out a teaser for his upcoming video on Irreversible Damage. Now, while Cass Eris has covered this ground pretty thoroughly, I’m definitely glad that a bigger leftist YouTuber, and one as insightful as Henry, is taking a shot at it, just like I was glad to see multiple other video essays on the Somerton scandal. Abigail Shrier continues to be a very vocal fearmonger about trans issues.
In the comments of that video someone was like “yeah it’s unfortunate that this book was transphobic, but her new book, Bad Therapy, is incredible.”
Now, Bad Therapy has already gotten two videos from Cass Eris, so I feel qualified to sum it up as like, exactly her previous book but for mental illnesses she thinks are subclinical, rather than for being transmasc. So basically “overreaching doctors and counselors are using unnecessary therapy to make our children think they’re trans mentally ill.” Fun, right? And obviously fertile ground for her to push TERF ideas in a more subtle way without making the transphobia as obvious as she did in Irreversible Damage.
Now, whatever you think of the thesis “iatrogenic mental illness is a common outcome in teens who undergo school-mandated talk therapy” (it’s probably mostly horseshit,) you probably should find someone else to defend that thesis. You know, besides the woman who previously published a bestselling transphobic screed with a large section on how transness in teenagers can be iatrogenic. I would not like to take her word on anything related to psychiatric treatment of children, actually.
(Especially when she seems to have, as her main concern, the future reproductive capabilities of AFAB children. For Christ sakes, the cover of Irreversible Damage shows a picture of a small girl in 50’s clothing with a circle cut out of the picture roughly where the womb would be. Like Christ, I don’t want to hear anything this woman thinks about children!)
But no, when first Big Joel and then I push back, this person wants to argue like “oh but she’s so right in this new book and I wouldn’t read it and endorse if anyone else were talking about it” and shifting the burden onto me to prove that there’s some other person talking about this issue, and a load of shit like that. I think they think they won, too, because I just had to leave.
And the thing is… would you do this for anything else? “Oh this person is a young earth creationist, but we’re talking about embryology, not evolution, so I suppose we can trust them. And who else is talking about embryology? It’s your job to show me someone else talking in this way about the subject and maybe then I’ll consider not endorsing the obvious evangelical Christian grifter.”
No! Fuck no! She’s invested in the idea that parents need to protect their children specifically from devious healthcare providers to protect them from “being convinced they’re trans,” so a second book on the topic of healthcare providers causing mental illness in children is going to be biased at best, even if it doesn’t mention trans issues directly. How are you this dense?
#this second book opens with an anecdote where she flips out on a nurse#because he was there to give her son a mental health assessment#after he presented to the practitioner with a stomachache that could very easily be anxiety-induced#from context#Abigail Shrier#irreversible damage#bad therapy#tw abigail shrier lol

I know it’s very early in residency both for me to have this opinion and to be judgmental about it, but my god progress notes should contain a real assessment. It sucks on crosscover to not have a good idea of why a team is doing the things they’re doing and then to have to make decisions about a patient I barely know with little information. Here’s an example: Mr. A is being treated for cellulitis. He is also getting a very thorough workup for osteomyelitis for reasons I can’t discern—is it his clinical picture? Is it some risk factor I’m unaware of? The imaging so far has been negative, so I’m not sure why it’s still being pursued. Then I’m paged that he’s having excruciating pain. I’m not sure how suspicious to be for underlying osteo—was the team very concerned and just waiting for a change in his picture, or was the additional workup CYA medicine? Should I give Tylenol or would it be better not to mask a fever so we can see if the antibiotics are working while we wait for the remaining imaging to be read? I’m sure an even slightly more experienced resident would not be fazed by this, but I honestly find it very frustrating. Like at least tip me off at signout as to what you’re thinking. But since you can’t anticipate every question I’ll be asked or everything that will come up, it’s probably best to write a good assessment. I’m only asking for a sentence or two on what you’re thinking. It really really really does help me understand where the patient is at. In conclusion, this shit is of the devil:
Mr. A is a 50 y/o M with PMHx of HTN, BPH admitted for cellulitis.
#cellulitis
- doxycycline 100 mg PO BID
- negative XR
- negative US
- MRI pending
#I’m not asking for a novel#just give me some indication of what you think is going on#why are you clearly working this person up for osteo but you haven’t mentioned it in your note??#it’s internal medicine ffs#write a good note#a good assessment is so valuable for anyone helping with your patient’s care#nurses consultants crosscover etc#ok I’m done#medicine#residency#medblr#my content#my text posts

I love taking care of people omggg 😍😍😍
#i love when i can go into nurse mode and get people what they need and run through the checklist of what helps#especially if i know the person because then i already have a handle on preferences or what they typically need#i have like. half a degree for a few things and i have a specific interest in physiology and psychology#i also used to really enjoy crisis management and peer support stuff but theres a lot of elements of that i cant do anymore#because the toll that shit takes is more than i can pay#specifically crisis related events#theres a lot I have to work through yet before i can manage those situations#anyway. my dream situation would be to work with someone to help them figure out what they need#like. assess the situation. find resources if needed. check on their ability to address basic daily tasks. make crisis plans.#start some basic dbt conversations and try to figure out what help they need and how to get it#i know some people dont want to go to a traditional psychiatrist or psychologist for whole host of extremely valid reasons#so being able to help them with self help or finding other alternatives. or just like. being a person they can regularly talk and vent to#because sometimes people don't have anyone. and just one person in their life can make a major impact#and like. its not exactly like therapy in that way. like i have the knowledge base to incorporate aspects of it in if wanted/needed#i think some people just need to be heard and that can help them move forward#and my goal isnt to like. transform you or whatever. there are people out there who need help but its hard to start#or it's difficult for them to access what they know they need#and i just want to meet people where theyre at and help them take enough small steps to being able to live how they want#like. harm reduction type shit. if you just need clean needles thats a step forward. and maybe its the only step they feel they need#to be happy. and now they can have a little bit of a safety.#like. a little more agency over how they want to live their life while improving quality of life#a step is a step man#anything that moves you toward the life you want counts#you deserve a win#the edible hit part way through so sorry if theres incomplete and tangential thoughts#also how can i do this shit for profesh??#i know similar jobs exist but theres a huge foundation of shit i just dont agree with built into them

I can't really complain cuz I'm getting paid to sit on my ass most days but like... the burnout from not having expectations for each work day is insane. Waking up like "hmm... am I gonna get two clients back to back at the tail end of my shift and have to work them thru the process simultaneously or am I going to sit and stare at a screen doing nothing for damn near 9 hours?"
#n honestly i just feel so disrespected by mgmt#whether or not we get clients for the day hinges on whether or not we have a nurse available to do health assessments#and i KNOWW that management works w these nurses to determine whether or not they're available. so it just feels like a-#-slap to the face when no one tells me ANYTHING. like even if things were up in the air I'd appreciate that being communicated-#-to me as opposed to me sitting there wondering what my shift is gonna look like

It's really hard to get over the childhood wound of "no one believes me or listens to me so I can't trust anyone or go to anyone for support and therefore have to handle everything myself" when that shit is still happening to me as an adult in my 30s lol
#'heal the wounds your inner child is still nursing' doc my outer adult is still being wounded this way lol#personal#like every time i go to my manager and say im fed up of being mistreated and clients being rude#she gets this condescending motherly tone like 'no theyre not being rude theyre just frustrated' as if it cant be both#and then my spouse telling me he's fed up of hearing me say im exhausted and that i dread work#like im not even looking for advice or deep support i just want to sigh and say im exhausted sometimes bc i sleep badly#i cant do a damn thing about it i just want to say it to someone i think cares about me....#and the worst was when i made a joke about autistic habits and he went 'come on youre not autistic stop it'#as if i dont have a formal adhd diagnosis and enough traits of autism to self dx with it and its frequently comorbid w adhd#and my talking about it to my mom has led to her pushing my 75 year old dad to be assessed too#like it was a light bulb moment for her

8pm: Patient's blood pressure is high in the 170s. He has been anxious and up and down to the bathroom frequently. I decide to give him a little time to calm down and recheck.
9pm: Patient has calmed down and is resting in bed. Blood pressure is now in the 180s. I page the doctor, who says she isn't concerned and puts in orders for IV meds if it goes up above 190.
11pm: Blood pressure is now in the 190s. I give IV labetalol.
12am: Blood pressure is still in the 190s. I give IV hydralazine.
1am: Blood pressure is still in the 190s and now he has a severe throbbing headache and a sudden onset episode of nausea. I can't give any more blood pressure meds. I page the doctor and tell her the patients BP readings and symptoms. She tells me to give more labetalol, I tell her I can't give more meds on this floor and if she wants more, the patient will have to transfer. Doctor says we'll just wait until the morning and consult the hospitalist.
2am: I have told my charge nurse about this and she has reached out to a couple other resource nurses we have for backup. Charge nurse pages the doctor herself and tells her we need transfer orders to get this patient to a higher level of care because he is extremely hypertensive and symptomatic and not responding to medication. Doctor grumbles but puts in the transfer orders.
3am: I take the patient downstairs where he can get stronger blood pressure meds and closer monitoring than I am able to do on my floor.
New nurses: if something doesn't feel right, if the doctor doesn't respond the way you think they should, follow your gut and ask for help. And always, always chart to cover your ass!
#these are not the exact times this all happened#it takes longer than you would think#while this was happening i had one patient getting a blood transfusion#another with very complicated wound care and two others who needed routine meds and assessments#but this could have gone much worse#i'm so thankful to my charge nurse for backing me up so strongly#and so angry with that doctor who could've caused that patient to have a stroke by not reacting appropriately to his blood pressure#always speak up if something feels wrong#nurblr#nurse#registered nurse#nursing tag#healthcare
