The mother of a problem child was advised by a psychiatrist, 'You are far too upset and worried about your son. I suggest you take tranquilizers regularly.'

On her next visit the psychiatrist asked, 'Have the tranquilizers calmed you down?'

'Yes' the mother answered.

'And how is your son now?' he asked.

'Who cares?' she replied.

October 15, 2000: Physician Restraint Orders Unclear On Transfer, Do You Apply In The Interim?
Summary: 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?

Psychiatric Nurse "Misses" Festering Wound Infection? Is She Held To The Same Standard?:"Registered Nurses in their training cover each of the accepted areas that a new graduate might be expected to work in. Once in the field, it is expected that additional and specific training to a Department or Specialty will be obtained. In this case, the Psychiatric nurses did not pick up on a festering infection in a patient that had tried to commit suicide. Was the fact that they were Psychiatric nurses a valid excuse?"
