Good news? Excellent news!

2 1/2 hours later, the boss is back!

Procedure successful, 2 stents inserted (1 more than indicated) and everybody happy.

Now to wait for the bleeding to stop — the wrist incision has but the groin incision is being contrary. All good though. Should be taking her home tomorrow.

NSW Health staff are awesome! Overworked, underpaid, and understaffed, but Man! do they do great work.

That didn’t go so well.

Boss lady went in for her operation to open up and stent the artery (RCA)11. They went in via her wrist and groin and just as they got to the blockage she had a reaction to the cocktail of drugs they used to keep her relaxed and started vomiting.

Operation cancelled.

Back on the ward, crook as a dog, and we’ll see you maybe Monday or more likely Tuesday to try again, this time with full anaesthesia.

When I left tonight she was still out to it, though her stats were good.

Don’t know what they did different to Orange, but RPA will be on her shit-list now ...

‘I don’t want to come back’: PTSD, burnout driving nurses out of hospitals

NSW public hospitals face a mass exodus of senior nurses suffering trauma and burnout from overwhelming workloads, leaving younger, less experienced nurses outnumbered and at greater risk of abuse from frustrated patients.
