Men Are Coming!

Thursday Oct 18, 2018
Bonus Episode! Haley from the episode “Nurse Jane” is back with a few more stories about medicine across the world. She shares the experience of working an out of hospital cardiac arrest while working as a teacher in Saudi Arabia on a student at an all women’s campus. Cardiac arrests outside the emergency department are much more chaotic, but even more so when you don’t have the proper equipment, the doctor doesn’t know CPR, and “Men are coming!”
Even when nothing goes right, a nurse will do their best for the patient.

We have a special guest this week, Tina, host of the popular medical true crime podcast, Good Nurse Bad Nurse!

With growing focus on violence against physicians and nurses, Christine highlights a continued lack of information about assaults on EMTs & paramedics, where violence often happens in isolated environments or even at high-speeds.

Christine chats with Eliza, an American nurse living in the United Kingdom, about the differences between US healthcare and the National Health Service. While there may not be nurse practitioners, as much gun violence, or health insurance woes the heart of nursing stays the same. However, you may want to choose your words carefully, a common term in American English just might be embarrassing British slang.
