My mother has been in the ER so many times in the past 6 months I've lost count. I still go be with her EVERY time until they move her upstairs. One night after I got off work I went with her and was up for 24 hours in the ER. You only have one mom. Fuck. She doesn't have anything of value to leave me when she's gone but I overheard her telling the nurse that she wouldn't know what to do without me and my wife and that means the world to me. She didn't know I was there because the nurse was helping her to the bathroom and had the door pulled almost shut. Hearing that made me feel good and let me know that I'm doing right by her.

No phone number, no way to contact them, and you can't send grandma home even if there is nothing wrong with them. Happens every year. No shit? That really happens? Every fucking year. Extended family comes to visit grandma grandpa, find out they need a little more help to take care of them than a family pet. Simple stuff like a helping hand to walk around the house. Suddenly the family shows up to the ER with granny/grandpa in tow claiming a sudden weakness, shortness of breath and difficulty breathing. Mind you they haven't seen or talked to them all fucking year. Now this is a problem that has to be fixed right fucking now and we are incompetent retards because we can't wave a fucking wand and make them young again. Now this will blow your mind. The granny/grandpa is on file as a DNR/DNI and some distant disowned grand-daughter/son brings them to the ER and says granny/grandpa now has dementia because they would never willingly agree to that sort of thing. So the DNR/DNI gets reversed despite the patient's objections and they bring in a lawyer and get their will changed. Every year the ER and hospital gets used as a fucking baby sitter so the extended family can use their house as a damn hotel. They might stop by once and see how granny/grandpa is doing. Then we get the fucking riot act because we aren't doing enough and want to know why they are on observation. Well, maybe we are trying to get ahold of you and let you know they are ready to come home. There was nothing wrong, They are just getting old. Then they demand more testing and to call them back when something is wrong. I've had to call security and adult protective services because of shit like that. I can go on for fucking days. |

Hospital visitation time is like DOING time. But I'd do it until eternity to have my Mom back. My Mom spent many days and nights in the hospital and I would work from her hospital room on my laptop. I was there with her unless someone else wasn't and never regretted it a moment. Mom passed the day after Easter in 2012. I would give anything for 30 minutes with her to tell her thank you for all she did to me and how much I love her and miss her. Even if the woman was the most awful woman in the world...she didn't deserve that. |

Worked a cardiac arrest at a residence years back on Christmas Eve. Happened to look up while I popped open the first epi preload and see a family member walk past us with a plate of food, I was like . While getting the bretylium ready (yea it was a while back and he was in fib a long time), I see the same guy walk past with another plate of food, then I was like.
Haven't had it happen in my family, but I'd like to think grandpa dying on Christmas would be enough to put the meal on hold for a bit. |

No phone number, no way to contact them, and you can't send grandma home even if there is nothing wrong with them. Happens every year. No shit? That really happens? My favorite one wasn't a holiday, it was just an example of how people treat EMS. Keep in mind this happened in a lily-white suburban part of northern New Jersey. Also keep in mind that the phrase "party not feeling well" means something between a hangnail and a (successful) suicide. Also keep in mind that if any bodily fluids get in the ambulance, we have to clean it out. At the time, we had to swab the whole thing out with a bleach solution. So we get the dreaded "party not feeling well" call. It's grandma and her middle aged daughter is waiting for us in the living room with her own daughter. "She has to go to the hospital." "Okay, what's the problem?" "She doesn't feel well." One of my crew did a physical assessment. Normal pulse, respirations, no guarding, patient nods but doesn't verbally answer questions. "What happened to her?" "She doesn't feel well." A lot of people lose the ability to articulate the issue when a loved one has a crisis. So you keep asking until you get an answer. That way you don't tell grandma to stand up when she broke her leg and you give her high concentration oxygen when she has a heart attack. "Does she have a heart condition or asthma or something like that?" "She's nauseous." This gets to the question I would have asked first if the dispatch told me to respond to the home of the local retard. "What happened that makes her need to go to the hospital in an ambulance right now?" "We didn't want her to vomit in the car." |

Could have been worse...they could have rolled into the ED, made her a full code (and made sure she was intubated), and then never come back to the hospital. It happens more than you think, and the only time family does show up is if there are discussions about terminal weaning. Of course then, they want to continue everything...just as long as a disability check is coming in.
