A new Beginning..., page-241

Thank you to you MTW and for your service.
No one can know how that was for you.

ER is a unending zone of emergency care.

When nothing is seen to be happening it is still busy.
Stock to be reviewed, blood and fluids to be cleaned up.
Written reports to be done after every care event.
Compulsory in service training.
Fire training.
Bomb scares and evacuation.
Staff call in sick and no staff available to fill in.
Less staff in ER than workers working on a road repair in the street.
Awaiting on tests before a procedure can be done.

When it looks like Drs and Nurses are not working and are standing and talking they are in fact dealing with stress.

Emails from management to tell staff a new research project has been scheduled for ER staff.
Protocols on research to be done.
Great more work.

Half way through reading the new research directions a bus full of people who have been in an accident arrives un-expected. Body parts in bags to be matched to people. Blood and trauma every where.

There is a waiting room full of urgent cases while all this is happening.

Common sense?

If I did not work in a ER and I was going to do a clinical recording in a ER, I would have gone into that environment and talked to people working in that environment.

Then I would seek out some one who has knowledge of sound recording and asked them to join me in an assessment of the environment and what I would need to do to get the best possible recording.

There is no such thing as common sense.


One thing that is sure is that Resapp is needed for telehealth to reduce the number of people out of ER it will do.

I now have a lot of belief in Resapp.
