ah no
no no no
this is all over the place
I don't believe what I'm seeing
what I'm involved in
there are ways to do this
simple ways
six staff
two for arms
two for legs
one for meds
and one talker
only one talker
but we're all over the place
there are three staff talking
arms and legs have been left behind
and have to push past all the talkers
if they're going to perform any kind of restraint
the patient is in a corner of the room
bed on one side
wall on the other
so we can't get near her
and whoever went to fetch the injection
has been gone an age
this is supposed to work slick
minimise distress
minimise risk
what the hell is going on
trained professionals
that's us

Sometimes even the professionals get it wrong.
Yes. Very hard to watch.
humbly written
it has class.
Thank you onepauly.
Frank,
It sounds very intense! Was she ever given the injection?
~Laura~
Yes these interventions are always intense, Laura. Much going on and high adrenaline.
Yes, she would have received her injection. And the managerial task of working out how to contrive a better and safer process begun.
Hopefully, the managerial task was achieved and things got better for everyone’s sake!
