They take care of me

The font/print size on IV medication labels that nurses give is extremely small. This has huge potential to cause medication errors. Why is nobody fixing this problem?? It's unbelievable and continues year after year to be a MAJOR problem.

You feed both

Moral of the story - X-ray the patient in theatre, and all ‘sponges’ (swabs) should have a radio-opaque marker in them! As an anaesthetist, I would never allow a patient to wake up unless the X-ray was negative.

I can relate to this 100%! As an intern I accidentally wrote up an incorrect dose of a drug - I did not personally give it, as my co-intern did. The patient died - she had stage IV breast cancer - this case went to Coroner’s Inquest (England) and the verdict was accidental death. Her family thanked me for looking after her prior to this incident.

So so funny !!! 🤣Not only are they saving lives, but they sure can make us smile !

As a ED RN, watching your video was so humbling!

This must be an actor. You NEVER PUSH IV Potassium. Bull crap story.

Nowadays, it’s like they just do not care.

This is the kind of character, honesty, caring and backbone that we need in all or our healthcare professionals. None of us are perfect, and the more we recognize that fact the better we can change our systems to be less prone to human error.

I've made errors before & this sickens me, too!

Is there a patient advocacy group for patients who are being failed by treatment team staff in an escalating situation? A quick answer would be deeply appreciated.

This 2 tier system in Alberta is often not transparent. I learned I paid for unnecessary spinal surgery and that the surgeon did not document the surgical alteration of the L3 spinal processes. A private pay MRI in BC identified the incorrect surgical level. I relocated to Calgary for continuity of care and hoped to pursue graduate studies. I encountered multiple barriers rather than receiving the expected continuity of care. I advised the surgeon that something is wrong below my waist and paid for an MRI in Calgary and would learn more than a year later that I was misdiagnosed with sacral insufficiency fractures. I had multiple diagnostic reviews of multiple images through AHS and at no time did anyone identify this misdiagnosis . These needs to be a review of the "SECOND OPINION DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW PROCESS". Clinicians may have: 1. stopped looking for additional abnormal findings on a study once an initial probably diagnosis was identified. 2. They sought evidence to support a diagnosis hypothesis already made, and to ignore evidence refuted that hypothesis. 3. The radiologist had fixed upon an early impression, and failed to adapt or changed that view, discounting any subsequent information that may conflict. 4. After having identified a first abnormality, the radiologist failed to continue to look for additional abnormalities. 5. The radiologist identified abnormalities but into attributed the abnormalities to the wrong cause. 6. The radiologist used uncritical reliance on previous report in reaching a diagnosis leading to the perpetuation of error two consecutive studies. These reviews spanned all of 2020 and I had to leave Alberta to authentic care. Albertans need to be protected and harm needs to be disclosed in a timely manner.

That was a no-rinse foam?

My mom at 1:38 I’m so 🥹

Thank you, and God bless you for having the courage to own your own human imperfection and advocate for "adjust culture!"

I hear your story. Yes l can say as an ex RN l had a high patient load and an RN asked me to give a patient flucloxicillin and he directed me to the wrong patient. Immediately l contacted the on duty doctor and followed his instructions. This patient had an allergy to flucloxicillin but showed no allergy symptoms or reactions. The patient was so happy because she did not have any drug reaction. Because of her diagnosis she informed the specialist that she did not have any allergies to the drug and that it would be a better medication for herself while in hospital.

That's why we use scanners now

those where different years today they would HANG you i was a nurse 40 yrs we actually had lunch and went home on time those days are gone

Thank you so much for sharing your story.

So i was hired CDC decoding NOVA patient Darren Sanborn Mattoon Illinois 61938 and as of now patient is recieving burns survalince continued ZOMBIE APOcolypse NOTES 12/23/2021.

Historically a culture of shame and blame? We need to explore that more in depth because the amount of lying with these errors is astronomical. And trust me, the patient understands that drs are human and make mistakes. What we don't understand - is the incredible lying and gaslighting. THIS issue is more psychologically harmful that the error itself. This deep desire and reflex to lie, cover up and gaslight, truly is harming and traumatizing ppl.

This is very accurate for even those of us, not nurses, but TMA’s, etc. Listen to that little voice, absolutely!! Great video.

Know the feeling....D.Leone RN

His only concern seems to be about himself and not the patient.

I guess if I was in that situation all I would ever think about is what will happen to my patient like career? I can still find another job but that life that I killed I could never bring it back. I really learned a lot from this vid people makes mistakes and that we should always learn from our mistakes and never do it again

Cool video from 11 years

Can I get email of hr

Never going to a canadian hospital. Blaming on others. Ouch.

I have downloaded this amazing honest story and put it into my files to share as a teacher and a practitioner. He is absolutely 100% correct about that little voice in your head. But the thing that makes him a true professional, he immediately manned up. Another place, another time, he would have simply been terminated. We nurses are considered DISPOSABLE and easily replaced . We constantly take the blame for things that truly were not a result of us not performing our job.

Think of allll the doctor's who makes these mistakes but never realize it!

Paano po mag pa scedule para sa anak ko po

My pet peeve is people constantly knocking on the door, calling the phone when I’m pulling meds. And it’s for dumb crap like trying to locate me to tell me crap I know in the first place or just wanting to know my location for no good reason. Makes me want to yell. I had a nurse today trying to pressure me to work over while I’m trying to pull meds. I’m like REALLY? Grrrr

Amniotic embolisms are rare and almost unavoidable

Cool great

Hello grade 8

Excellent video, candid and articulate

Really inspiring. Lots of incidence are happening in our country these days. How can we reduce such kind of mistake ?

why is his face funny it made me laugh 1:29 it also felt like that

Thank you Linda, Theresa and Patients for Patient Safety Canada for being a valued and essential partner in the development of the 5 questions to ask. We are indeed better together when we listen to our patients!

Thank you for this. I'm so glad he learned from his terrible error and teaches others what he learned = does he TELL them how he learned & what happened because he DIDN'T "stop & think it through a second time" before acting? At 4.10 he says: "My career’s over, I’m going to lose my licence, he’s going to die..." = interesting, eye-opening and very shocking that his FIRST thoughts were for himself and that the patient might die was LAST on the list. But this doesn't really surprise me because I'm a survivor of terrible medical errors and as soon as I alerted them to the fact I KNEW things had gone wrong (actually, probably long before that = as soon as THEY knew they'd messed up big-time) they went into lie, deny & cover-up mode = they were only worried about THEMSELVES and not me, their VERY injured (almost killed) patient, AT ALL. The NHS' (in the UK) cover-ups continued PLUS they started attacking my credibility as a way of protecting themselves. They prevented/denied remedial care (they KNEW I could have died from my injuries, especially my untreated and VERY injured throat/airway which became severely infected, but didn't care) and lied to me repeatedly: to my face (in hospital & after in farce meeting), on the phone (Consultant anaesthetist responsible for the juniors on duty that weekend when he was off = only 'on call') & in a letter to me from Chief Executive AND in a letter of lies from the negligent Consultant Surgeon (again, responsible for his juniors but not there that weekend) who neglected me in Ward Round on the Monday - in FRONT of all the students he was teaching/training) to my GP so that he would help them in their cover-up - which he did: he too totally neglected my life-threatening injuries. So now, almost 15 years later, I STILL haven't been told the truth, nobody has admitted any of it to me and I'm still waiting for correct diagnoses of the injuries they gave me. I've lost my health, my job/work, my home, my pension, my security, some of my friends/family, my sports & hobbies, my liberty & so much more = the life I had. If only they had been open & honest straight away and hadn't, as here, put THEIR jobs/lives as more important than mine, how different it could have been - still terribly injured but WITHOUT all the lies & psychological traumas & neglect ON TOP. Sadly I don't think anyone learned anything much at the time because they stuck to their line "nothing went wrong" so they/others may well have injured more people and NOBODY was protected due to my tragedy.

Thousands of Canadians are suffering from Hernia mesh complications yet the Canadian government has only a warning for women and transvaginal mesh. How are we going to get help when the government has investments in hernia mesh ? When will Canada help us? Not sure what we have to do to get noticed in our own country ?Why do we have to wait for lawsuits in the USA to get any help? No doctors, no surgeons to remove mesh here . What a violation of human rights. Hey ! Hey! Look closer , we are here in this country , hey hey over here. Why arent you helping us? Thousand of us ignored with mesh for hernia too sick to advocate and stuck in hush hushed lawsuits ..why not do a story on them? Lets talk any time .. we have been asking since 2012 . Canadians have told their stories for years and where did they go? #NoMeshIsSafe
