Imagine your coworkers and two providers doing absolutley nothing but recording you while your dying. Those nurses and providers really should lose their liscences. A re-education doesn't give that woman her mobility , life or career back. I'm almost wondering if them being in out pt surgery, and not seeing many codes didn't hinder their actions.

Ridiculous. From day one as a brand new RN we were told we were expected to give cpr to anyone in need - patient, visitor or staff. Unless theres a palliative care only order. If theres no mask around we were told we are expected to do it without / mouth to mouth (so in our interests to have a mask !) When i was 12 i did a kids first aid. We were told to have a go. We cant cause any more harm to a person not breathing /no heart rate. He told us we didnt have to be perfect but had to try. It’s not hard ! I dont understand these staff at all absolutely disgusting. You dont need to be qualified to run a code to jump in and to cpr. Kids do it ! I dont understand why call 911? Are they not in a hospital ? Maybe it doesnt have emergency or cardiac , so yes you can call ambulance to take elsewhere. But you stabilise the person first you dont stand there telling 911 shes not breathing. They havent even got her on a bed. Disgraceful just unbelievable.

Yes. These outpatient clinics have nursing staff that have been away from acute bedside nursing for a while. So they can be “rusty”. I agree with RN Harris, everyone should be competent to give basic life support/CPR. And the facility has a responsibility to make sure their staff are competent. We have annual “mock codes” or Crisis Resource Management training in our hospital. But outpatient facilities do not generally do this and it is not required. It took awhile for us to have one but it is valuable in training staff what to do in these situations. My heart goes out to the family and to this poor nurse. This is unacceptable. 😢

If you're worried about doing it wrong, you tell yourself anything is better than nothing. Once you start, you do. not. stop unless the machine tells you, or a doctor or paramedic does. And when it's all over, sit back, catch your breath, and take care of yourself too."

Because it must arise out of employment and occur during the course of employment. My guess is she didn't make a showing the cardiac event was linked to a work factor. Just because something happens at work doesn't mean its compensable.

[@Up_Leveled]

@@Spazilton1​​⁠You’re wrong. Any injury that happens at work is compensated, even if it is a negligent accident / at fault accident. ​​⁠Under California law a worker who has suffered an on-the-job injury can settle their claim with the employers insurance company. That is done by either agreeing to let the insurance company pay for all future medical care related to the injury, or taking a lump-sum payment equal to the cash value of any anticipated treatment. “California Workers' Comp Law on Heart Attacks - Cardiac Arrest In California, when a heart attack occurs following a stressful situation or any interaction at work, it can qualify as a work-related injury. In fact, the workers' compensation claim form actually lists heart attacks as one of its “body parts code” numbers.” “First Aid Treatment First aid treatment is included as medical care that all employers must provide for their injured employees. In conjunction with the DWC, the California Department of Insurance (CDI) wants to remind all employers, physicians, insurance companies and self-insurers of the need to comply with Section 6409(a) of the California Labor Code. Section 6409(a) requires a physician who treats an injured employee to file a "Doctor's First Report of Occupational Injury or illness" (DFR) with the claims administrator for every work illness or injury, including first aid cases where there is no lost time from work. Although the Labor Code contains "first aid" exceptions for the Employer's Report (Form 5020) and the Employee Claim Form (DWC-1), there is no such exception for the DFR. The insurance company (or the employer if the employer is self-insured) must forward DFRs to the DIR.” They violated multiple laws in place.

@raymondmoreno7961 - Lose their jobs and go to jail for what reason. The Hippocratic Oath states, "Physician pledges to prescribe only beneficial treatments, according to his abilities and judgment; to refrain from causing harm or hurt". The facility is a cancer treatment center, not an emergency medical facility. Even an urgent care center is not going to start CPR, but instead will call EMS, then wait. Checking the blood pressure of a person does not give an indication of if a person is suffering from a heart attack, and if she didn't complain of any of the classic signs of a heart attack, and just stated not feeling well, then passes out, you're now in limbo on what to do besides quickly call 9-1-1, and once they arrive and do an assessment, they can determine whether CPR needs to be initiated, to include they have an AED, oxygen, and medication needed to sustain a heart attack victim long enough to rush the victim to the hospital. There is nothing that says a nurse, physician, or medical personnel are mandated to treat a suspected individual; but what is mandated is they don't cause undue harm. And conducting CPR chest compressions does cause damage to the upper ribcage area when done manually, which is why many city and county EMS now carry LUCAS Chest Compression Systems, and any litigation is brought against the EMS technician and or the LUCAS manufacture.

[@Chris-qo2jx]

Happens often. Worked for Dallas Fire Rescue. Parkland Hospital is a level 1 trauma center, the ER triage nurse called 911 for a person hit by a car outside the ambulance bay. Children’s Hospital, was connected to the old Parkland Hospital 2 sets of doors and a 10ft breezeway separated Children’s ER and Parkland ER. Children’s ER would call 911 when an adult went to them rather then Parkland. UTSW Medical center called 911 to take someone from one of their step down units to the ER. Medical City Hospital rented office space in their hospital to Drs. They would call 911 frequently to take people down a couple hallways to the ER. Doctors and nurses are so afraid of being held liable for using common sense that they pass people off to a couple of paramedics with a fraction of the training they have just so they can wash their hands of liability. Then as a paramedic you try to call them out in their bullsh_t, they complain to our superiors about their professional judgment being questioned by a lowly paramedic. It’s disgusting that some of these people are allowed to practice medicine.

[@gyrlyninja]

Exactly. What is 911 going to do, take her to the …hospital???? Freaking ridiculous. 😢

[@Karlotakruuu]

@@Chris-qo2jx i used to work in ER and we have a parameter outside the hospital that we can respond. Coz it happens a lot that we had to respond outside the hospital. 1 nurse and 1 doctor with stretcher and a 1 large red bag with c-collar, torniquets, bag-valve mask, intubation kits and epi except AED. If we need a extra hand like pushing the stretcher, the hospital guard can help. So if it's outside the ambulance bay, i wonder why they can't respond. Or it's a hospital policy?

[@climber950]

Not worker's comp; *it's a failure to render care by medical professionals*

[@prettymeela29]

Most definitely is workers comp. Injury took place in the course of employment.

[@JS-zb1vv]

It’s hard to tie a heart attack to workman’s comp . If she was doing CPR on someone possibly yes . Just because something happens at work doesn’t mean it’s workman’s comp . You are misinformed. It is exactly what is stated above. Failure to render care . That’s the lawsuit.

[@prettymeela29]

@@JS-zb1vv no ma’am you are mistaken. I have been an adjuster for 20 years. The insurance company will have to pick up the claim and should have picked it up at the onset. But I digress.

[@JS-zb1vv]

@@prettymeela29 no insurance company is going pay for a heart attack or stroke etc. just because it happens on the job. Unless there is a direct correlation with it . Most jobs you can’t find that. She was at a doctors office. Nothing stressful or it would have been in the information. If she herself had been performing CPR on a patient then yes. But just walking around or sitting at a desk no . So what if you passed out then find out you have cancer or diabetes? They aren’t going to pay for it just because it happened at work. Falling at work and getting hurt is one thing as long as you were following all safety protocols and follow all SOP’s . This lady has a better lawsuit for not rendering care in a medical facility. Along with a HIPPA. Suit for recording it all .

[@prettymeela29]

@@JS-zb1vv again you are wrong. I recently accepted a claim for a person with preexisting condition who was on work trip and passed out on the plane. State doctor deemed it compensable although condition was pre-existing, however he passed out during the course of his employment. Therefore claim was deemed compensable. Once this lady is seen by a qme or AME and they find that injury happened within the course of employment the insurance will pick up the claim. Like i said i been doing claims in Ca for 20 years and that’s the way it works. Thank you and have a blessed day.
