| Re: ICU/CCU Nurse's Experience as a Patient I am sorry to hear about what happened to your wife. I'm assuming you have contacted an attorney??? If not, do so.

| Member | Re: ICU/CCU Nurse's Experience as a Patient I used to work in the EP lab. I can tell you that no one in a teaching hospital is allowed to perform such procedures without the attending being by their side. If a student is extremely competent, the attending might allow them to do some of the work, but only after lots of proof that they know what they are doing, but the attending is still at their side. Also, there is no reason that I can think of where a person had to lie on a table without being covered. I am so sorry that this had to happen. |
