  • Yes I just saw that. Id choke her out
  • I didn't see it, but I know they mess up a lot. The hospital I picked will not remove the baby from my room, so I know everything that's happening at all times.
  • I wouldn't care how much pain i was in that nurse would've been in a lot more pain.
  • I just looked it up online i cant believe that. I read the article and it kept saying that she worked a twelve hour shift and was tired. But still thats a big mistake
  • Thats so scary! Reminds me of a real story my friend was told by her professer in nursing school. A newborn was given an adult dose of some heart medication and the baby ended up not making it. Employees in the hospital were curious which nurse is to blame so they looked it up in the system which nurse was on call for that patient that night. Every employee who looked was back tracked and fired for HIPPA violation. There were over 35 employees fired. I guess 2 lessons, 1. learn to read a fricken med order, and 2. Don't violate HIPPA.
  • I hate hosipitals
  • When I had my daughter I made my husband go anywhere they took her. He didn't take his eye off of her one time. You can't trust anyone.
