Comments on: When Nurses Fight Back http://gruntdoc.com/2006/09/when-nurses-fight-back.html Ramblings of an Emergency Physician in Texas Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:40:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Kim http://gruntdoc.com/2006/09/when-nurses-fight-back.html/comment-page-1#comment-4500 Kim Tue, 19 Sep 2006 16:30:33 +0000 http://gruntdoc.com/2006/09/when-nurses-fight-back.html#comment-4500 I've had a family member as a patient in the hospital this RN worked at. Good for her! I think I want a t-shirt that says "Don't Even THINK About It, I'm An ER Nurse!" And someone needs to get their hands around that jerk of a soon-to-be ex's throat. I'd hate to be the public defender who gets THAT case. I’ve had a family member as a patient in the hospital this RN worked at. Good for her!

But please don't make people think they can take 7veral blows to the head with a hammer, and the gloves worked to his disadvantage. People who knew him said He was close to 60 years of age & thats old for a man with a unhealthy lifestyle both in mind & body. Again good for her! but I simply do not believe that anyone can take several full hammer blows to the head by a healthy person! I'm sorry but it clouds the issue of the fact She did great and did society & taxpayers a service. I hope they put her husband away for a long time. They should let her get her hands on him!

I do hope she gets whatever support she needs, and I agree, we need her back at work.

Most veteran ER nurses I've known are tough as nails, and have few illusions about what happens on the dark side of life (facing ugly reality on a daily basis toughens one that way). I'd have to say, however, that this nurse wins the ER Nursing Ultimate Fighting Championship. Get her some counseling... can't afford to lose a nurse like that.

Wonder if it would be effective if applied in a situation as this ER nurse encountered. Hope I never have to find out. Kudos to her. Career felon removed from circulation and no taxpayer dollars spent on a trial. But suspect that she will have some psychological issues to deal with and can only hope that she is not too traumatized and does not have long term PTSD.
