I am FUCKING PISSED!!!!!!! - GoFuckYourself.com

Smegma · 09-13-2002, 03:46 PM

Today I took my son to the Doctor for his 15 month check-up.

The doctor informed us that he would need 5 shots, so the nurse came in to give him the 5 shots.

On the last shot.. I had to remind the Nurse to clean each area before she stuck him with an alcohol swab to clean the injection area first. On the last shot she stuck him and missed. Then she pulled out the needle and pocked him again in the same spot (or tried to). When she stuck him again, for the 6th time, all the medicine came out the first poked hole. I lit this nurse up.

Security was called.

My son was scared shitless. The thing is.. with 5 shots.. what do you expect?!? At some point ?fight? or ?flight? is going to kick in. Seeing that he is being held down, and can't "flight" any human is going to start fighting.. She took her sweet fucking time with the first 3 shots.. just long enough to make my son start going crazy. When he started to fight.. she got all flustered and started to fuck up. It caused him much more pain than what was necessary.

Our Dr. for our son is kick-ass. When the nurse told him what she did after I told him, I thought security was going to have to restrain HIM. The guy went ape shit on this nurse. When confronted about it by the dr, she said it looked clean enough and that he was screaming so loud she just wanted to get it done.

He dismissed her on the spot.

I?m still pissed. I need to punch something.

RATBOY · 09-13-2002, 03:48 PM

That's fucked up. You could have sued. No wonder the Dr. fired her ass!

Brown Bear · 09-13-2002, 03:49 PM

5 shots! Why so many?

Theo · 09-13-2002, 03:51 PM

Not necessarily. I've worked with more than a fair share of veteran-yet-retarded nurses. No clinic or hospital ward would be complete without at least one boneheaded nurse on staff.

I agree, it was either a tech or a Nurse that just didn't give a fuck. Every medical office seems to have at least one. I was an EMT for a while and any first year EMS would tell you the same thing. FIVE shots in one arm? That's insane!

She thought it "looked" clean? What the fuck, can she see bacteria with her naked eye?It's a damn good thing she got fired before she gave someone toxoplasmosis...

GO BACK TO COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND GET A NICE SAFE DESK JOB CHICK!

Grrrrr I'd still consider a punitive damages suit man, if your son is too terrified to go to the doctor again, sue the bitch into poverty!

Sly_RJ · 09-13-2002, 04:04 PM

Yes, sue. It's the American way.

Smegma · 09-13-2002, 04:06 PM

No shit. Yeah 5 shots.. 3 in left.. 2 (actually 3) in the right.

His arm is swollen.

HeadPimp · 09-13-2002, 04:12 PM

Five shots is a shitload of crap for a body to deal with. Every one of those requires an immune response so it is the equivalent of getting 5 minor illnesses all at once. Fuck that.

As for the nurse, she should have been shot...

Also, did she wash her hands before walking into the room?

I bet she didnt?
She can get written up for that also.

PersianKitty · 09-13-2002, 06:11 PM

Geezz I've never heard of 5 shots at once if they were all just the routine. I'd be afraid that if the child had a reaction you wouldn't be able to figure out what he reacted too.

The routine shots for 12-15 months are MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b), IPV (inactivated polio virus), PCV7 (pneumococcal conjugate). Somewhere before 18 months they give a 4th DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis).

They must of been trying to get them in all in one visit. I don't think mine ever got more than 2 at a time when they were young and then the IPV was giving by mouth.

BTW...both my parents are in the medical profession. My mother is in charge of infectious disease control at a group of area hospitals. She'd likely of freaked just like you and the doctor.

Man i dont' know you guys but holy crap have some sympathy for the kid. that's some shit to get shot up 5 times in the arm, but i guess if you are a heroine addict it's routine enough...

jimmyf · 09-13-2002, 07:51 PM

Poor kid...

Exxxotica · 09-13-2002, 08:13 PM

It always amazes me how people come to an adultwebmaster board named "GoFuckYourself", talk about their kids or personal problems... and not expect somebody to crack a JOKE at them.

-do I feel bad for your kid... yeah I do (ok, I admit it)
-do I feel the need to comfort you for it... HELL NO!

Just tell your kid to toughen up. By the time my kid was 11, he could drink 3 or 4 pints and still make galleries for me.... and that was all before 11 AM!

HS-Trixxxia · 09-13-2002, 09:09 PM

I don't know about the States, but here they won't give you more than 2 shots (routine shots) on the same day, and even at that, it's given one on each arm or leg. I would have disagreed with 5 shots in one day & told the doctor that two for today was fine and the rest we'd be back for in a week.
No kid would sit down for it calmly.

My kids' pediatrician gives the shots herself which makes it so much easier - she's clean, she's fast and she's experienced.

That nurse should find some other day job.

boneprone · 09-13-2002, 11:45 PM

Seriously, you should do something.
On monday call the board of nursing.
Tell them what happened and you want to know what can be done, and who should be contacted.

PersianKitty · 09-13-2002, 11:54 PM

My youngest had spinal meningitus and a staph infection in his spinal column before he ever left the hospital. He was poked and proded, spinal taps, injections, etc.. like crazy the first 20 days of his life. Newborns don't have many viable veins so they put IVs in the scalp and the foot before trying other places. The injections they gave him when they didn't have an IV going were in his thighs. They told me he might have problems with the development of the muscles because of it.

Because of the whole thing (I think at least) whenever he gets a fever it's very high...104, etc.. When he was 18 months old, I picked him up from day care and he was literally broiling. Called the pediatritian and they kept the office open waiting for me. They were afraid he had spinal meningitus again. They told me they had to do a spinal tap again. They can't use any anesthetic when they do them. My 6'4", 240lb husband (at the time) along with a couple of other people had to physically remove me from the room after they started. I don't know whose cries where louder..his or mine. Thankfully he didn't have a recurrence.

This kid to this day has a total aversion to needles. When he broke his jaw in a car accident at the age of 4..they needed to start an IV in the ER. It took 4 people to hold him down enough to get the IV started. I knew they had to do it and he fought like it was for his life. When they had to redo the IV a day later, they sent this huge orderly into his hospital room. The guy talked to him for a bit and then cradle my son closed to him and laid down on the bed on top of him. He struggled and screeched. When they were done and the guy let him go, James glared at him and as clear as any adult he said "I hate you" .

Smegma · 09-14-2002, 12:12 AM

Jesus PK -

Spinal meningitis has a mortality rate I don't even want to think about. I would have shit my pants if that happened to me when my son was born.

I seriously can think of NOTHING worse than that. Spinal Taps are 100,000 X worse than a needle. Not only do they hurt worse than a broken bone, but then you get the headache from hell and you want to die. I have seen a spinal tap bring a grown man to tears.

Consider yourself BLESSED that he made it through.

I thought it was bad when my son was born and he had to have his stomach pumped. I almost passed out watching that. Having to go through watching my infant baby struggle with infant spinal meningitis would END ME.

Do they know where he got the infection from?

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!

mr smegma, i'd have a little chat with my pediatrician about that five shots at one time thingy. that sounds terribly wrong.

on a side note, when i was little, they used to strap me in this contraption called a "papoose" for shots and stuff. (i had a reputation for hitting doctors

) i don't suppose they use papooses anymore. i guess they're probably now considered cruel.

Hope your kid doest get any infecctions from it.

OMG OMFG I would of died plain and simple there is nothing I can say on this but OMFG that is some scary stuff PK I have been lucky that none of my kids have had to go through anything like this.

I was in a Mountain Bike accident a few years back which caused a compression fracture of my 3rd lumbar vertabrae. I had to have a spinal tap to see if there was any blood in my spinal fluid or something like that.

I would not wish that kind of pain on anyone. It breaks my heart to think that an infant would have tp go through something like that.

I don't have any kids, but a few years ago I was almost a Daddy but mother nature decided otherwise. I think some of that paternal instinct is still with me, so when I hear about a child in distress it makes me very upset indeed. We're the grown ups, we're the ones that have to guide and protect our young ones & when someone (i.e. an incompetent or uncaring health care orovider) violates the trust of a child and causes them pain, it is a bad reflection on all grown ups in that child's eyes.

When I was an EMT we responded to a bad (I mean BAD) car accident where one child was already gone and the other was in critical condition. Her name was Karen and she was 7 years old. Her and her family were on their way home from a waterslide park when they were sideswiped by a drunk driver who ran a red light and slammed into them at over 100 km/hr. Her father and her brother were killed on impact and Karen was trapped in the minivan. The Paramedics worked on her Mother while myself and another EMS tried to save Karen. She was in bad shape but concious. She asked me my name so I told her. She looked up at me and said "I'm scared..." then the light just seemed to fade from her eyes... I started CPR and didn't stop for over 45 minutes until a supervisor told me to stop. She died in my arms.

The driver of the car was being read his rights at the time, and he didn't seem all that concerned about what he had done, either that or he didn't know so I decided to clue him in. I grabbed the sonofabitch by the handcuffs and led him over to Karen's body. I pulled back the sheet and put his face just inches from hers and told him "YOU did this, this is YOUR fault! You killed this girl, her father and her brother, and you put her mother in the Hospital. Do you understand? Are you sober enough to understand that you piece of shit or do I need to give you some epicac so you will be?" He started crying not unlike I am starting to right now.

I quit that job the next day. I still have nightmares about Karen, and that happened over 13 years ago. If I could have, I would have given my life for hers at that moment. I swear I would.

Exxxotica, not one word out of you. Not one fucking word.

I'd be afraid that if the child had a reaction you wouldn't be able to figure out what he reacted too. The routine shots for 12-15 months are MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b), IPV (inactivated polio virus), PCV7 (pneumococcal conjugate). Somewhere before 18 months they give a 4th DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis). They must of been trying to get them in all in one visit. I don't think mine ever got more than 2 at a time when they were young and then the IPV was giving by mouth. BTW...both my parents are in the medical profession. My mother is in charge of infectious disease control at a group of area hospitals. She'd likely of freaked just like you and the doctor.

HELL NO! Just tell your kid to toughen up. By the time my kid was 11, he could drink 3 or 4 pints and still make galleries for me.... and that was all before 11 AM! <img src="http://www.exxxotica.net/stuff/kid.jpg"> Cheers! __________________ Needs some really great hosting?

I would have disagreed with 5 shots in one day & told the doctor that two for today was fine and the rest we'd be back for in a week. No kid would sit down for it calmly. My kids' pediatrician gives the shots herself which makes it so much easier - she's clean, she's fast and she's experienced. That nurse should find some other day job.

Tell them what happened and you want to know what can be done, and who should be contacted. __________________ Industry Hall Of Fame Legend Mike Jones Bow to the Power - Still BP4L http://gfyawards.com/hall-of-fame Learn about it kids.

He was poked and proded, spinal taps, injections, etc.. like crazy the first 20 days of his life. Newborns don't have many viable veins so they put IVs in the scalp and the foot before trying other places. The injections they gave him when they didn't have an IV going were in his thighs. They told me he might have problems with the development of the muscles because of it. Because of the whole thing (I think at least) whenever he gets a fever it's very high...104, etc.. When he was 18 months old, I picked him up from day care and he was literally broiling. Called the pediatritian and they kept the office open waiting for me. They were afraid he had spinal meningitus again. They told me they had to do a spinal tap again. They can't use any anesthetic when they do them. My 6'4", 240lb husband (at the time) along with a couple of other people had to physically remove me from the room after they started. I don't know whose cries where louder..his or mine. Thankfully he didn't have a recurrence. This kid to this day has a total aversion to needles. When he broke his jaw in a car accident at the age of 4..they needed to start an IV in the ER. It took 4 people to hold him down enough to get the IV started. I knew they had to do it and he fought like it was for his life. When they had to redo the IV a day later, they sent this huge orderly into his hospital room. The guy talked to him for a bit and then cradle my son closed to him and laid down on the bed on top of him. He struggled and screeched. When they were done and the guy let him go, James glared at him and as clear as any adult he said "I hate you" .

I would have shit my pants if that happened to me when my son was born. I seriously can think of NOTHING worse than that. Spinal Taps are 100,000 X worse than a needle. Not only do they hurt worse than a broken bone, but then you get the headache from hell and you want to die. I have seen a spinal tap bring a grown man to tears. Consider yourself BLESSED that he made it through. I thought it was bad when my son was born and he had to have his stomach pumped. I almost passed out watching that. Having to go through watching my infant baby struggle with infant spinal meningitis would END ME. Do they know where he got the infection from?

(i had a reputation for hitting doctors ) i don't suppose they use papooses anymore. i guess they're probably now considered cruel. __________________ I still love everybody
