At work today a PCA was asked to restrain a patient, a simple task which involved her getting cloth restraints and tying the patients arms to the bed. She looked at the Doctor and said "What?". Restraints, he repeated, "get the restraints." She had no idea what they were. Now since I work in a hospital I know that every had to have orientation and we should know the basics. I think some people are just incompetent.
Some people are just complacent and don't want to, nor do they care to know certain things. I believe this is one of the worst traits for a person to have. I just had to share!
