R: And I don't either.
You'll know that the coch nicu mortality rate is a bit higher than the network average. It makes people (consultants) look at trends and patterns. That may have been why DrG came
to ask.
As for the self doubt - you asked me this morning did I dream because I was worried about having missed something?
No, and I don't think you did either.
In fact for [another baby] you knew he was unwell and flagged it up immediately.
I don't know the beginning of the [a separate baby] story because i arrived after the bleep.
You didn't miss anything that I would expect an experienced itu trained nurse to spot.
From a resus point out view you were flawless. It's why I am so happy to work with you. You don't flap, you give perfectly sensible suggestions and things run seamlessly. (You must be
good Rackham said so (seldom praises)).
R: No more doubt - it's not you, it's the babies.
I don't know what happened to [Child O] and [Child P], and accept that the pm may not give any useful answers.
I Do wonder if they may have had adenovirus - it's terrible in neonates / perinates.
[Child Q] is different.
His behaviour is more bacterial (tachy, temp, reduced uo)
I wouldn't be surprised if his bc comes back positive.
LL: Thanks, really appreciate you saying that.
LL: So relieved that it's you who has been there throughout.
2:01pm
R: It's true.
You are one of a few nurses across the region...that I would trust with my own children.
If you're worried - I'm worried.
You should do the APNP course, you'd be excellent.
LL: Don't know what to say Thank you
R: Self doubt finished?
LL: I think so, thank you ++
The messages continue on a social/work nature until 1.36am, but have no further reference to Child Q.
