all saints

I was able to eat my dinner last night. I was also happy when the hotel did my laundry and I could stop carrying wet clothes and laundry with me. I relaxed for most of the night and caught a wonderful episode of All Saints. It is one of those medical dramas and the head nurse was on trial for negligence. The show revolved around two cases. One was a man who was pronounced dead, because he did not have a pulse yet whenever you tried CPR he would open his eyes and gaze at you. The doctors could not distinguish if the man was concious or if the opening and closing eyes was an involuntary movement caused by the pressure of CPR. It was not until the end of the show did we discover that the man was indeed concious and his medical file requested no resitation. They mentioned a few rare cases where this had happened. The doctors apologized and let the man pass.

The second case was based on a diabetic man who waited for 90 minuites for treatment, but the head nurse was too busy dealing with all the patients in the e.r. and there was not enough staff to help all the people, because most of the staff was dealing with the first case. We discover that the nurse will not be charged and the diabetic man's health is up in the air when the episode closes.
