It’s unlikely they would lose their job, unless they were on performance management already. There is definitely learning to be had on her side of things and the unit managers side of things (it’s their job to reduce incidents) thinking deeper about it, how does she know that there wasn’t a retained portion of the drain tube if she didn’t know what it was. That would be a “never-event” because it should never happen. I don’t want to worry you, but you definitely should feed that back to their management. Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) at the very least

I can only echo what others have said, Andy. I am no longer nursing but did for most of my working life so far and your experience was appalling. There are definite lessons to be learned from your experience being reported that may prevent further pain and potentially more serious occurrences in the future.

I have to go to the hospital tomorrow to give a blood sample so I may call into the PALS office.

You need to mate because even ignoring her shortcomings in her bedside manner if what the other nurse said is true there’s a definite lack of communication and training going on between departments so it’s highly likely that other patients are being put in danger because of this so it needs addressing

Seen this, its very pretty and all but I can’t help thinking what happens when you get your glove caught in it and can’t shut it off

If it was ‘Heath Robinson’ surely it’ would have more pulleys and a small roden.
And a candle burning through a string to drop a weight down an inclined plane…

Be a bit like trapping your foreskin in your jeans zip 
A friend of mine did this once. He said the worst bit was knowing he had to pull the zip down again.
And yes, it was a friend.

Yeah I knew a lad that did it too. He was only young and was screaming like a banshee

My mate Gary zipped not the foreskin, that would be too easy, the actual tip of his cock in his flies, you could see a bit of pink bloody skin poking through the teeth. It was an ambulance and local anaesthetic job…

Bringing this thread back from the eye - watering to the mundane…
Today I worked as usual (and was greatly cheered at the time it got light this morning as I was out running). I got home to find my pillion seat for the Blade that I had ordered from Ebay had arrived, which I ordered to accommodate a Givi seat lock the same as the one I have for the pillion seat on my Street Triple so I can use my tailpack for commuting easily on both bikes

Sounds like you have had a good innings. You will have to retire to the back benches in the club house

As you can probably guess I didn’t do it half heartedly and have made quite a few changes for the benefit of the section overall which not everyone liked but ho hum. Golf clubs are like a lot if other places, plenty want to complain but arn’t prepared to step forward and have a go themselves, sonething I’ve pointed out to several moaners 
My vice captain is quite astute, he’s already said I’ve done a lot of hard work that he’ll reap the benefit from. Mean while I will be glad to retreat into the background and go back to just playing golf with my mates and taking the piss…
