Still reeling...

The specialist I've been waiting to see for nearly two months cancelled my appointment. I'm feeling better now, but I'm still nervous about what might be going on. Waiting sucks.

However, I don't think I was more unnerved than to read this post on emergiblog. Reading about a nurse doing her job, working to the maximum of her license, a doctoral candidate, a patient educator and compassionate advocate in the face of death could lose her license.

For. doing. her. job.

Yes, that's right folks, doing her job. Talking to a patient at death's door who had NO FREAKING IDEA of what exactly she got herself into when she signed the consent form for transplant. A patient who clearly stated, "I don't want to do that."

And for her work, this nurse is not only being punished by management, she may lose her job, her livelihood, her home.

It is disgusting.

Stay tuned....
