Quick Follow-up

Very quick post:

1) The lady we transfused is alive and sporting some much more stable vital signs

2) A man who was admitted yesterday peri-arrest (with oxygen saturations of 67%) was sat up joking with his relatives this morning after receiving good supportive care

So it's nice to see some of the fruits of our labours. Nursing morale is also very high on the Emergency Ward as they are increasingly being recognised by all in the hospital as being very professionally competent and also from the satisfaction of seeing patients turn around as a result of the basic resuscitative measures they're practicing.

It's still hard work but things are going pretty well.
