at least she doesn't keep getting covered in fluids lol

 

My man is just plowing through scrubs

 

While they were actively doing CPR and trying to resuscitate her? I don’t know enough to speak to every hospital or policy and such. But having been in a situation with a family member who was rushed to the ER and was unable to see them until she was stabilized (she had multiple cardiac arrests in a row within the time they left our home and I got to the hospital), I would assume that you would not be invited back immediately. As soon as they could, they would. Like, of course.

I’d never heard about what your daughter had. But after a brief research and how you describe it, she didn’t require surgery, and the other treatments I read about are not really comparable to CPR. And I’m not sure what the phrase would be for when they are squeezing the bag to attempt to get them breathing again. I’m sure it was a hard time and I don’t mean to minimize your experience. I’m simply basing it on my experience that was closer to what happened on the show. I’m no expert. I was allowed in only when they stabilized her and was kicked out while they had to treat her from two further cardiac arrests a few hours later. I was then allowed back in when it was the end.

 

I realize you're not trying to minimize my situation, nor am I trying to compare it to drowning/having no heart rate - but intussusception can be a life-threatening medical emergency, FYI. It's literally your intestines folding in like a telescope.

It can also certainly result in surgery, although we were lucky and a radiologist on call had to come in at 3 a.m. and was able to do an air enema procedure to resolve the issue (which we stayed in the room for). Had that procedure not worked, they explained to us it would have resulted in surgery.

All in all, I think the age matters - the girl in the show was 6. I would think any minor - taken back into an ER room, for any reason, should be able to have their parents/family go back with them. I can understand if the victim is an adult but a minor? I can't imagine family being turned away especially in a life-threatening situation.

 

I think this is a good resource for the topic. policies seem to be inconsistent at best.

Damn that latest episode was tough to watch

 

I don't know how accurate/skewed the "top ten tv series today" on streaming homepages are, but this is currently #1 on Max beating out The White Lotus. Impressive.

 

Yeah but I'd take that over getting overconfident and then fucking up in front of everyone, dealing with toxic supervisors, and getting gaslit.

 

I hope nothing major happens and this season ends as just a regular day on the job. Like we had this abortion situation where you get worried for a second Robbie might lose his job, but it was resolved. And we have the incel kid which hopefully is another red herring. Or that festival people think might be a mass casualty event. And then I'm also thinking no one is stealing drugs. I would rather they subvert expectations from going the more dramatic route, keep it real. The close calls give us enough drama.

 

All of those things are real things that do happen. Not saying all of them will come to fruition, but they’re all realistic. Life is dramatic fairly often.

 

You also have the looming possibility that Collins pregnancy complications are going to make her a patient by end of shift too.

Some of the most dramatic ER moments are when someone in the cast has an emergency and their coworkers have to work on them. The Dr. Grant thing in season 3 especially.

 

Finally caught up with this show and looked for this thread. This show is absolutely fantastic. Thats all i have to say.

 

Another fantastic episode.

the last answer needs shouted at everyone.

 

Yeah my wife was a puddle after this ep and I was almost as well.


Also I called the spider bite right when she mentioned firewood. I’m also paranoid around piles of wood for that exact reason

 

Oh shit!

 

if it were ER they wouldn't be eating Primanti's. case closed, idiots.

 

That's how you know this show is a smash hit, because if it was anything less than a huge success they would have already announced it's cancellation because of this lawsuit.

 

Well does that mean anything for the future of the show?

 

Yeah his estate about to get some money and the show will continue

 

Not now that it's doing great numbers

 

This isn’t Philly!!!!

 

These two women are a little much lol, especially being placed in adjacent rooms

 

Should’ve been down the hall and played the exact same haha

 

They’re really taking big swings in this one.
