The Fast Drip Nurse



FACT: It is a nurse's responsibility to check the prescribed flow rate of intravenous fluids.

QUESTION: How will you react if you found out that there's a "nurse" who continually regulates the flow rate of IV's on a very fast drip?

FACT: Hospitals never ran out of ghosts and wandering spirits...

FACT: Yes, the fast drip nurse is not human.

We were on our night shift when the staff nurses told us ghost stories in the hospital. What really freaked me out is the so-called fast drip nurse.

Here's the story: A nurse regulated the IV flow rate of the patient to 10 drops per minute. The next day, the doctor shouted and asked who the hell regulated the IV and put it on a fast drip. The nurse who regulated the IV said that it was she who did it but it was on a KVO (Keep Veins Open). When the doctor asked the patient and his/her relatives, they said that it was the old nurse who did it, not the young nurse on duty. There's no old nurse in that hospital. The oldest is in her 40s. The relatives' description was like in her 60s.  Who could be that fast drip nurse that almost killed the patient?

Creepy.

  4. once nagkaproblem ako sa iv ko. nilipat kasi yung iv ko sa kabila dahil pang-ilang araw na dun sa position na yun. then, the next day biglang nagchill ako tapos tignatawag ko papa ko na nandito eh asa pinas pa ako noon. as feeling mamatay ako na naghahabol ng hininga na umiiyak na parang ewan. maayos naman daw ang pagkalagay ng iv kaso ganyan ang nangyari sa akin. naoxygen pa ako for a day para lang maging maayos condition ko. scary.
