8. actually...it was NOT my patient except in the repect that all
the people who come into the ER are my patients...long story short...He is mentally retarded/mentally ill and we were understaffed and...holy shit.... I really don't think I can post it because I think the shit could leave my hospital open to a law suit. It is afucked up situation. He came in yesterday at 2pm and he was still there when I left this morning. He was dropped off by the staff of his group home and I think they are liable and should be held accountable. He was placed in restraints for over 12 hours (there were still on when I left this morning) and injected with copious amounts of haldol, thorazine, benadryl and ativan. Where WAS the staff??? Our ER is NOT staffed to deal with it....the nurse in charge of the room was laughing about this shit...
