... putting the frustrating into a positive way ...

thus far from the echoes of that in the shocking moments at an end of a life. Ironically, it kicked started a life where it opened many avenues I can now travel. This the legacy for my beloved hubby to alleviate stressful profound times in an acute setting ....

It meant listening to a load of crap to wade through the time I had to lean on others ... a lot didn't get it or me. It grated my nerves further. The pretend compliance that will be in the setting I am currently in. It has given be an insight into the bedside skills of the silent care where others are gruff, too polite in real and pretend, and those who appreciate or no idea what is going on ...

The compassion I hope comes through the rush of services of just slapping it down, you are supposed to announce who you are and what you are going to do. It applies to all. The signs not always right in a high turnover unit ... and for me if I am not happy to ask a paid staff member to come to thy aid. I will oft have to guide people to the clinical staff. The discretion in picking up dropped items, forgotten items is easy, the prepared answer to medical queries, we deal in the social aspect of care, not clinical. they do what they spout. I have been guided in the environment when finding my way.

The demographic of in the community and lack of that, that keeps up with the mental health and the elders care among much in what is in fact reported from facts ....

The challenging behaviour only trained staff can do ... we are to refuse if we are asked to assist. And to report it along with much up the chain of command if indeed that happens ...

There are a number of very long term patients with nowhere to go, this the clog in freeing up precious bed space, you only hear the negative, more than the way the clinical staff adeptly adapt in such dilemmas ... The triage of decisions impossible to always get right. The careless throw away speech is easy, the actions in a overwhelming situation not negated in a lot, that should have been logic from the facts of experience in such science of life and death, as seen in the harshest of ways myself in lost seasons of life ... literally ...

.... a multi agency package of care not robustly in place. The project management element needed in an institution that after the Florence Nightingale era of hospital hygiene and sanitation to access to all since the late 1940s... we could have done with a Florence Nightingale, seeing what is obvious and negate the out the box process in the moving on from learnings times ... even if it ruffles feathers ... though it was the old lunatic asylum pre and post dating much that still lacks behind physical care ...

The complexity of both strands of psychiatric and physical. The all needs surrounding including patience in someone with a multitudes of phobias, the obviously body rots, the all important lack .... of the mental capacity to over ride the obvious lack of safeguarding issues in the merge of a myriad of care and social issues in what that entails ....
