It’s very easy to justify certain symptoms (ex: patient is hypothermic and lethargic because they had 3 diagnostic tests that day and XYZ). And while these may be true, it’s important not to hyper focus on the assumed cause and potentially miss other indicators that a patient is decompensating. This same preceptor told me “they’ll compensate until they can’t any longer and that’s when we ask ourselves ‘what did i miss? they seemed to be doing okay’”😇✨🎥Credit : alysthenurse🤪👩🏻‍⚕ Like our pag

Meet Icy, rescued yesterday off Islamorada where she was found lethargic and floating. Icy spent the night in ICU where the medical team worked to help stabilize her low blood glucose. Her blood glucose was improved this morning and icy is looking good in shallow water. Please send prayers and healing energies for our newest patient. 🐢❤️‍🩹 #rescuerehabrelease #seaturtle #seaturtlehospital #connectandprotect #compassioniscontagious @turtlebette | The Turtle Hospital
