Staff Shortages Cause Chaos In A&E | Casualty 24/7 | Real Responders

Lovely people from Yorkshire. Even the doctors on the operating table have a cup of tea ready in case the patient wakes up😂 They're brilliant all of them.

How does a nurse not know to cough on their hand, suppose to cough in the elbow.

I'm a RN from the USA and have enjoyed this video. The positive and upbeat attitude of the staff is fantastic. To be so dedicated to nursing that you want to work, even when ill, is honorable.

[@Julienna]

Nothing honorable about coughing around very sick and weak patients. Rather irresponsible.

[@terriatca1]

If you came into work sick in my unit you'd immediately sent home. Why would you want to possibly expose or give it to your colleagues or your patients? That is so irresponsible.

I’ve been to many emergency rooms, here in the u.s., and the nurses have always been amazing. The doctors, however, treat you like you’re a test pig. They’re bedside manner is horrible. One e.r. Dr. did a horrible job stitch up my finger that I always cut off at work. He didn’t care if I was in pain or comfortable. I hate it whenever I have to go the the e.r.

[@kimbelles1891]

I’m a technician that worked in our largest hospital in our county for 15 years. We were always under staffed, always. It was either laugh or cry to get through your shift, don’t get me wrong, there were nights when I just wanted to hide in a corner and cry. But laughter just worked better for me, even in controlled chaos.

[@iTsEfFiNsTePhh]

Laugher works period, i'm not a nurse (I hate needles so I could never do it 🤣) but i've always laughed and made jokes during stressful or sad times and it for sure helps.

[@Suisfonia]

Most hospitals are understaffed, not just those in the UK but in other countries as well; doesn't help that doctors, nurses, etc are under-appreciated in the world at large. Worse yet being that doctors and nurses really aren't paid very well for the kind of the stuff they deal with.

[@KaraNolting]

The doctor with the little one and the eye cut? He was so lovely to both the kid and his Mom. Asking if the child had any questions and then asking the Mom - letting the child feel like he has some control over the situation. So important.

[@MaryofAz]

NHS appears to be critically flawed. Kudos to all the staff who work tirelessly in that chaos.

[@GK-qt6vh]

It does not good having a nurse who's not feeling well around sick people. She keeps on coughing into her hands and handling things.

[@ZoePhillips-r9x]

You think being a sister and being so highly trained she would know better

When my son was 3, he cut his finger badly. He was given ketamine and it looked like he was dead, it was the worst part of the experience. But he didn’t remember a thing and he came around and was as happy as could be.

[@DarkJediPrincess]

My own experience on ketamine… wasn’t great. I hallucinated this dizzying field of white and coloured static, kind of like gaussian noise, and apparently pulled out the NG tube they put in me while I was under it while it was still able to induce amnesia; I can’t remember doing that at all. I usually ask nurses and doctors to avoid giving me ketamine if at all possible. (Though if it’s a must, I wouldn’t protest.)

[@symptomoftheuniverse4149]

I had a heart attack at 49 , I had jaw pain for a couple of days, then a pain between my shoulder blades. Woke up with a little tightness in my chest, I thought a cold was coming on. Not until dinner time when my breathing became heavy did my husband say let’s go. I had a triple double bypass, coded 3 X, and was in a coma, with my chest open, they didn’t want to close me up in case they needed to get at my heart again, which they did. Women have a very different set of symptoms.❤

[@SandraNelson063]

Do you feel well in yourself? THAT is the question that every patient should be asked. Because it will pull open a big box of reasons why. Good job, Dr. Humphries. Nurse Wainwright needs to watch some ASMR vids. That will help her switch off.

[@DarkJediPrincess]

ASMR doesn’t affect all people the same way. That wouldn’t necessarily work for her; it does nothing for me. Agree with you about docs asking people if they feel well in themselves, though!

[@beverlymasonlpcpc4264]

Sister Jane, I love your white hair. Beautiful.

[@gerryshaver3048]

You should really teach your staff to cough into their inner elbow instead of their hands. I'm sure you won't want your staff and patients catching whatever she has. Great job as always.

[@K_Friday13]

I wonder when this was taped. Could they have had Covid?

[@melodyfeddeler6434]

Precovid

[@Grace1957-]

2018

[@DarkJediPrincess]

Adding to what Grace said, that means no, they couldn’t have had COVID. That didn’t bust out until December 2019, a year later. There are a lot of respiratory illnesses out there. COVID has eclipsed a lot of them in the public eye, but that doesn’t mean those other diseases don’t exist anymore. Next time you’re wondering about what someone’s respiratory symptoms might mean, consider bronchitis, strep throat, a cold, pneumonia, whooping cough, or many others, alongside COVID.

[@vickiwaatti1076]

Are some of the nurses nuns? I keep hearing "sister"

[@DarkJediPrincess]

No, apparently it’s a seniority title.

[@patriciawickholm3617]

The doctor casually states that "my lady might be septic"! Yeow! I didn't appreciate the nurse commenting on the back pain lady being a "yeller". I have had severe back pain....sometimes I cry out from the pain. Others do as well.

When they say "Sister," are these women actually nuns, or is it a different type of title?

[@dellahicks7231]

No it is the equivalent of a ward or charge nurse where I live in Canada, has nothing to do with the Catholic religion.

[@zoolucinka]

There's another comment where it's been explained already. Sister is nowadays used as an honorary title for the head nurse. It comes from times where nurses actually were nuns. Not anymore.

[@DarkJediPrincess]

@@zoolucinka That’s actually not true. It’s never had anything to do with religion. Remember that the UK’s state religion is _Anglicanism,_ not Catholicism, for one. In a hospital setting, “sister” is a rank, one step above “nurse” and one step below “matron.”

[@zoolucinka]

@@DarkJediPrincess thanks, I've completely forgot about that and related that more to the countries that at some point operated on Catholic faith. Just to make the last thing... It goes matron as the head nurse, sisters which are more of the senior ( qualification)nurses and then nurses?

Sister Jane is nice but a bit pally-wally with the Staff. In other workplaces, this could be construed as sexual assault. Not ALL people like this.

[@missladwig8921]

I'm first yippee. Edit- I love first responders.

[@Julienna]

The sick nurse acts so disrespectful and superior. If she is sick, she should be the first one to know, she should stay at home, because she means a danger, a huge risk, to patients whose health is already challenged. Also, if she is the patient, she should stop controlling the situation and let the others check her health and set the diagnosis. She is also the only one, who laughs about her own jokes... Tom, hats off, you handle her behavior well. But at the same time, I feel sorry for you. She shows no respect to you, and she never will. She lacks empathy. Her behavior towards patients is fake and is for the camera. Many will believe, that she is like that, sadly. She cannot manipulate me, I know a person exactly like her. Reddits is full of stories about people like her.
