OK, so this is my new button, feel free to share the love. Copy/paste it and spread the word. If you want me to link back in return, just comment or e-mail me to let me know.I believe we all have a cause and this is mine. Thank you.
So on a new note, my 15month old has bilateral ear infections. Now, he just went to the doctors to get his immunizations 4 days ago. The doctor checked both ears then. "Beautiful" she said. The following day he ran a temp of 101. "Huh", it's most likely due to the shots. The day after that again 101, and again I thought it was because of the shots. The 3rd day, well, I just had enough. Enough of the crying and fevers. Now, I think that because I'm a nurse that I know everything (well, not always, but I try to wait things out if their not serious). So, I brought him back to the Dr.'s and was told that he has 2 ear infections.
Now, I don't think that I would have normally been as pissed as I was, but I KNOW that these damned doctors are the ones that gave him the ear infections. How, you ask? Because they don't clean their shit. The Dr. used the otoscope to look in my kid's ear, to inform me that they were fine , 3 days ago. Did they clean the otoscope in between kids? NOPE. So the odds are that the Dr. looked in some kid's ear that had an infection and decided to share the love with my kid. Nice huh? Now, I normally wouldn't be complaining, and I probably shouldn't be if I still want a job after today. But, I see a lot of nasty shit that these people do. You'd expect them to be clean/sterile, but half the time that's B.S. I have seen waaay too much to believe in sterility.
Now, my dear friends, that's where nosocomial infections derive from. Lack of cleanliness as well as lack of hand washing and cleaning of equipment...My poor nugget..
