mort, you don't know the half of it.....you weren't here when a patient died due to the incompetence of the nurse and the fact that the oxygen tank was empty!!we've lost three patients and two could have been prevented. one had a blood clot in his brain. he told me that he was really sick when i checked him in. i reported it and he was hooked up, without any attention from the nurse. about 45 minutes later, he had a seizure....at times i think that i should just walk out BUT i know that there are patients there that depend upon me for various aids...emotionally and physical..the nurse is about three rungs above the doctor as far as being compassionate..so, i know that i supply compassion and humor to the clinic. but, when the right opportunity comes along, i'm gone...with my list!
