Report A Bad Doctor To The Authorities, Go To Jail? (Winkler Nurses), February 8, 2010 #nurseup #nursefriendly #winklernurses:"About five months ago, I blogged about a true miscarriage of justice, the sort of thing that should never, ever h...appen. In brief, it was the story of two nurses who, disturbed at how a local doctor was peddling his dubious “herbal” concoctions in the emergency room of the local hospital when he came in to see patients, reported him to the authorities. Moreover, they had gone up the chain of command, first complaining to hospital authorities. After nothing happened for months, they decided to report the physician, Dr. Rolando Arafiles, Jr., to the Texas Medical Board because they honestly believed that this physician was abusing his trust with patients and behaving unethically by improperly hawking herbal supplements that he was selling in the rural health clinic and the emergency room of Winkler County Memorial Hospital."

Psychiatric Nurse, Sued By hospital After Developing Relationship With Client? #nurseup #nursefriendly #healthcare

NurseFriendly posted an update right now

Psychiatric Nurse, Sued By hospital After Developing Relationship With Client? Summary: Doctors and Nurses by nature of their positions deal with patients when they are vulnerable, off-balance and emotionally needy. When the population includes the psychiatric patient, the potential exists for a client to develop ”feelings” for the caregiver. In this case, a sexually abused mother of three was admitted for multiple mental disturbances. During the course of the treatment, a relationship developed and led to sexual encounters following discharge. When it came to light, the patient successfully sued. The hospital would attempt to recover damages against the nurse following her testimony in defense of the facility. This is commonly called a Subrogation action.
Wright v. Mercy Hosp. Of Janesville – 557 N.W. 2d 846 – WI (1996)

Premature Child of Cocaine Addicted Mother Survives Abortion. Physician Order: Leave To Die?:"The premature birth of a child under normal circumstances requires highly skilled nursing and medical care if the child is to survive. The birth of a premature child to a known Cocaine addicted mother greatly increased the risks of mortality. In this case, a child intended to be aborted is born alive. When the physician orders that the child be to left to die, it miraculously survives on its own. Were the nurses liable for "following orders?"

Pregnant Prison Inmate Complains of Miscarriage, Corrections Nurse On Duty Ignores Symptoms? #nursefriendly #nurseup #healthcare

Pregnant Prison Inmate Complains of Miscarriage, Corrections Nurse On Duty Ignores Symptoms?:"Summary: Nursing assessment skills are one of our most valuable assets. They allow us to effectively evaluate our patients and communicate significant findings to physicians and other members of the healthcare team. In this case, a pregnant woman with a previous history of miscarriage complained of vaginal bleeding and abdominal discomfort. The assessment performed by the nurse fell negligently short of the required standard of care.Ferris v. County of Kennebec, 44 5. Supp.2d 62 –ME (1999)

#Physician #Restraint Orders Unclear On Transfer, Do You Apply In The Interim? #nursefriendly #nursing

NurseFriendly posted an update 1 hour, 57 minutes ago

#Physician #Restraint Orders Unclear On Transfer, Do You Apply In The Interim? #nursefriendly #nursing:”The use of Mechanical or Physical Restraints on confused patients is highly controversial. Due to substantial Death & Injury attributed to their use they are considered a last resort measure in providing for the safety of a patient. In this case, orders specifying what restraints and when they were to be used were unclear. In a patient that was clearly at high risk for injury, should they have been applied till the physician could have been contacted?”

Physician Dismisses #Nursing Assessments, #Patient Almost Loses Limb. #CaseStudy #nurseup #nursefriendly

NurseFriendly posted an update right now

Physician Dismisses #Nursing Assessments, #Patient Almost Loses Limb. #CaseStudy #nurseup #nursefriendly:”The patient was involved in a motorcycle accident in which his bike fell onto and injured his left leg. When the nurses assessing the patient could not detect a pulse in that leg, an ominous sign of circulatory failure. The physician when notified chose to dismiss this fact and discharge the patient. The patient would return soon after with worsening symptoms that would require emergency surgery. Should the nurses have initially pressed for further action, treatment?”

The Persecution of Amanda Trujillo, Those Emergency Blues, @torontoemerg #nurseup #amandatrujillo #nursefriendly

NurseFriendly posted an update 12 minutes ago

The Persecution of Amanda Trujillo, Those Emergency Blues:”In the ugly, grey world of hospital balance sheets it’s almost a commonplace that physicians generate revenue while nurses represent a cost. Fancy procedures and sub-sub-specialties bring generous income streams, in terms of charging (and profiting) from the provision of a multitude of related services, such as nursing, while nursing itself, because it generates no revenue, is a burden to the bottom line.
It’s also commonplace, that in certain health care institutions, the power structure, the hierarchy of heath care, is so rigid (and fragile) that any challenges to that hierarchy — such as a nurse questioning the God-like omniscience of a surgeon — must be ruthlessly suppressed.

The Curious Case of #AmandaTrujillo and the Arizona Board of Nursing, By Genevieve M. Clavreul, RN, Ph.D., #nurseup #nursefriendly

June 12, 2012 in Amanda Trujillo, Banner Health Arizona, Board of Nursing license accusations against nurses, Informed Patient Choices, Legal Advocacy For Nurses, Nurse Abuse, Nurse Leaders, Nursing As A Profession, Patient Advocacy

The Curious Case of #AmandaTrujillo and the Arizona Board of Nursing, By Genevieve M. Clavreul, RN, Ph.D., #nurseup #nursefriendly:”Trujillo said that after reviewing her case, the AZBN’s nurse investigator had recommended that the complaint against her be dismissed, but the board had decided to go forward anyway, ordering her to face an administrative hearing in January of this year. Trujillo closed her email with a plea for readers to share her story as widely as possible.

Needless to say, Trujillo’s much-publicized letter evoked passionate responses from nurses. Who among us hasn’t worked with a doctor with a big ego who objected if a nurse so much as questioned his or her orders? I’ll never forget a neurosurgeon I once worked with who constantly yelled, threw tantrums and even hurled surgical instruments at nurses in the operating theater, but had never been disciplined because none of the nurses he abused were willing to report it. He was finally sanctioned after he slapped a patient, who had no problem filing a complaint against him. (After that, his behavior changed for the better!)”

http://www.workingnurse.com/articles/The-Curious-Case-of-Amanda-Trujillo-and-the-Arizona-Board-of-Nursing

Thank you Genevieve for weighing in on Amanda’s case I’ve been working hard to keep it on people’s minds. Appreciate that larger publications are slowly starting to take notice of her case.

 

I am a bit disappointed that there was no opportunity to comment on Working Nurse on your article. Are they disabled by default?
