I had a existent fright last Fri morning. I had been invited to attend a lecture at the annual coming together of the Maryland Patient Safety Center inwards downtown Baltimore at the Hilton. I was listening to Jоаn Lundеn, who used to live the co-host of Good Morning America, give her plenary address. While I was sitting in that location, I got a text message from JоAnn Iоаnnоu our Chief Nursing Officer. JoAnn’moment text said that 2 of our nurses, who were crossing Pratt Street on their way to the coming together that I was at, were hitting past a automobile!

My ticker was racing every bit I made my means to Shock Trauma. When I arrived at the Family Waiting Room, I was told that I would take to wait awhile to larn more than than than data. The staff  at the University of Maryland Medical Center like a shot welcomed me besides tried to allay my fears. A wave of panic went through me every bit good every bit I worked hard to control my emotions. We thence got give-together with-take that the two nurses were stable . I was told that a driver allegedly had gone through a ruby-cherry low-cal, which caused the nurses’ injuries.

When we talk nearly the “Just Culture” nosotros talk of human mistake, at-bring chances bear, together with reckless behaviour. I desire to remind everyone to live cautious for their ain safety, inwards improver to deport the “preoccupation with failure,” that we exercise inwards patient assist at GBMC to our lives outside of the work environs.
