malpracticeby DO MS IV (no login)If true, this shows how much a little education, nursing at that, can make one feel overly confident in one's ability to diagnose and treat potentially serious medical problems. I worked with ER MDs, who while well trained and board certified, consulted with plastic surgeons to evaluate and treat lacerations suspicious for nerve or tendon transection. I'm surprise that this nurse sutured the foot and sent the patient on his merry way without being concerned about the complaint of sensory loss. What about intactness of motor functions? That, my friends, is malpractice and speaks very unequivocally that nurses have no business practicing medicine in the first place... or ever at all! from IP address 129.109.190.27 Goto Forum Home |
