When a hospital does a barrage of tests after being admitted for passing out does it mean that they are concerned that something serious is wrong?

When my mother was 83 she passed out and was taken to the hospital where they gave her all the tests for a TIA or mini stroke. They also took blood and urine analysis to determine if there was an infection. My understanding is that infections ( in her case a urinary tract infection), can cause severe dehydration which in turn can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure and cause a person to pass out, that is exactly what happened to her.

What are the duties of a ER Tech?

While not an essential member of the team -- you can still run an E.R. without a tech -- a quick and efficient tech is worth their weight in gold. Every great E.R. team has a good tech. The duties of an E.R. tech depend largely on tech experience. Every tech is responsible for: *changing linen's and cleaning rooms quickly after patient discharge *making certain all supplies are stocked *daily quality control checks on equipment *running samples to the lab *checking and recording vitals *bringing in and gathering information from new patients for quicker assessment by the nurse and doctor *assisting medics with ambulance transfers *putting patients on leads/bp/O2 stat *cleaning and dressing wounds *physical transfer of patients and their belongings to other wings of the hospital *crutch training *sling/brace applications *all other CNA responsibilities, though not all tech's are CNAs. Techs must still assist with bedpans, urinals, dressing/undressing of patients, etc. The best techs are usually CNAs as these skills are not taught in an EMT class. Tech's with more experience and training by staff and facility classes can also apply fiberglass splits, shut off and/or remove IV's and monitor EKG's. I have heard that some facilities allow certain tech's to start IV's, but my hospital does not as it is out of the scope of practice for a tech here. The tech is the lowest rung of the ER ladder. As such, there is tons of upward knowledge available for you to learn from both nurses and doctors. For those who are interested in the medical field and would like to see if a career in the ER is for them, I would highly recommend a position as an ER tech. A great place to get started. Be smart. Be fast. Have fun.

What is a no monthly fee medical alert system?

A medical alert system with no monthly fee is typically a system that has a wireless pendant that can be worn around the neck. Once a button on the pendant is pressed it sends a radio frequency signal to a dialer. The dialer is connected to a telephone line. Once the dialer receives the signal it will begin dialing preprogrammed numbers. These numbers are usually to people that can be trusted to get help when the pendant is pressed. The system should also be able to call 911 directly if needed. The reason a system like this has no monthly fee is because it calls numbers directly and does not call a monitoring service that can charge up to $49 a month for service.

Hospital stay after a cesarean delivery?

Why would a narcissist fake that he was in the hospital for a heart attack when he wasn't at all?

He must be running low or out of supply. My N insisted we go to the emergency room very late at night even though we had a 6 hour drive ahead of us, and it was for a very small cut on his head that was perfectly fine (wasn't bleeding, he felt perfectly fine, etc.). He was excited (actually happy) about going. We waited for hours. The doctor said he just needed a band-aid, but he insisted on getting it stapled. In retrospect, it was absurd. At the time, I went along with it feeling bad for him, taking care of him, etc. simply supporting his decision to go to the hospital. He received the attention he was obviously needing that night, and for a long time after as he recounted the story over and over to his family and friends. It was definitely a source of supply. Although I didn't know anything about this at the time, it is obvious now. Another reason an N might do this is to cover for something else he was doing at the time. As painful as this is, you can become a very wise and perceptive person through these experiences by learning how someone like this behaves, etc.. Take care, AlwaysLearning.
