"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
"Karma"
"What goes around, comes around"
There's many ways to say it, few ways to live by it.....
I think it is safe to say that there is still a fair amount of talent left at Delta Regional Medical Center. There are still plenty of people left in our community that are committed to making a difference in their town, irregardless of the work conditions they are subjected to.
These people, the ones of us you still see working at Delta Regional Medical Center, the ones of us you still see trying to survive for the sake of their neighbors, the ones of us you still see trying to make a difference, are there despite the rubbish they are expected to eat at the hands of our directors and administrators.
A task becoming yet more and more unbearable. I think it is a point worth mentioning that its not always the ones worth losing that leave. It's not always the bottom of the barrell. Sometimes those are the ones that are not going to take it anymore.
Thats not to say that the team members still there are any better or worse than the ones that leave, it speaks merely to the bologna tolerance inherent to their beings.
As healthcare professionals, we take it day by day. Do the best you can. Stand with your chin up at the end of that day when you have to go home and look in that mirror.
It takes more talent for some of those directors and administrators than others to look in the mirror and be proud of the way they lived their life that day. I'd bargain to say that some of them have given up on the golden rule alltogether because they sure gave up on treating people right.

AMEN!
I was informed today that a new policy of ER is to NOT allow any family members in with a patient, until they are seen by a doctor.
Where do I complain or to whom?
This is outrageous! There is no way I would want my husband, child parents or in-laws to have to be alone for any length of time in an ER circumstance. I can understand limiting numbers, but to have no one??? Unacceptable! My Mother-in-law is 89 years old and has Alzheimer's, if something comes up with her, either myself or my husband will be with her at time of admission and one of us better be let in with her, or there will be such a scene!!!
A friend told me she had to wait 45minutes to join her 88 year old mother, who had fallen and was severely injured at a local nursing home. By the time she finally got in with her mother, her mother was frantic and terrified. Totally unnecessary trauma! I have seen it take even longer to see a doctor, in no way should anyone injured or incapable be alone for any time without family members, if available.
Tell me who to contact.
