MancWanderer Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Nursing homes/care homes/etc Had a call earlier with that bloke who works for me who is currently volunteering in A&E up in that Scotch Land Number of things he told me 1. You only need one qualified nurse of a certain level in a care home (I assume he means banding and I didn’t ask which level) so many are very junior 2. Care home nurses are unlikely (in the main) to have been trained to the level needed when dealing with Covid 19 3. This virus is the nastiest fucker he has ever seen. Sweep’s experience is possibly only a “moderate” version of what some folk go through. He’s lost people on the resus table and saved a few through extreme emergency measures 4. His most telling comment was “care homes are not A&E”. They don’t carry the type of kit needed to “save” a lot of these patients. Folk in there are massively vulnerable and you aren’t going to be able to emergency intubate someone in those places. This virus has hit people at a level he has never seen in 30 years working in A&E. Care homes are “end of life” places and the care is palliative not rescue Feel free to disagree but no surprise to me that the figures from these places are so horrendous. You could throw a container load of kit at them but basically they aren’t set up to deal with this virus. Normal flu, pneumonia, etc, fine, they can cope. This fucker, no way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted April 15, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted April 15, 2020 Makes sense that, re care homes. Must be truly horrendous. I see a 106 year old lady has recovered from it, somewhere in the Midlands. A heartwarming little clip on the news earlier, as she was applauded out by the nursing staff.

I thought it was a reasonable wage because it’s in the care sector. Shocking that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancWanderer Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 25 minutes ago, Casino said: Its perhaps fair to point out theres care homes and nursing homes It is a very fair point but the same points apply regarding skill levels and available equipment. This virus is nasty and needs top level kit and experience. My bloke (not that way you gaysters) is massively experienced at resus, intubation, respiratory emergency, etc. He’s part time in an A&E unit. He’s the most experienced in there at the moment. He’s done 3 consecutive 65 hour weeks on nights so this is his week off but he’s on standby. That’s an A&E dept. Care homes, nursing homes, hospices, etc, haven’t got a fucking chance with this. Very sad Not having a go at you by the way cas, just re-emphasising just how shit this situation is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
