[work] damn. Safety report time and the amount of language barriers are insane.

Mom and daughter came in and there was a consent issue because the mom only speaks Quiche. A language primarily spoken in Guatemala.

The daughter was translating but she speaks Quiche and Spanish

And the nurse spoke English so they had to go to like two different interpreters

How scary must that be for mom and kid

Oh also a literal gun showed up on a patient. An unlicensed loaded gun on a 17 year old. What the fuck.

The amount of ways that could have gone sooooo bad. I’m freaked out just thinking about it even though no one was hurt

Another Patient was discharged to a HLOC facility. escapes and shows back up in the ER himself going like “put me back I hate those guys”

what's hloc?

higher level of care! o/

like, complex needs type stuff

aaah

danke!
