~Throw The Nurses Under The Bus!~

And that right there is why I fear Romney getting the GOP nomination. To be elected there, you have to have that kind of mindset. While I know all the people in MA aren't that way, the majority have to be to keep electing a Kennedy to any position in power.

It is so hard to blame poor Douglas, he was brought up believing he was special, and it sounds like he found a wife that believes the same things.

do parents need to get a nurse's permission to take their child out of a hospital?

do parents need permission from a Walmart employee to take their kids out of a Walmart?

what if I try to leave mass earlier with my children? do I meed permission from the priest?

What if it is 4 days after the birth of a child and the parents want the child to stay in the hospital for care and feeding for a few more days to give mom a chance to recover at home? Think the hospital will say, "OK, we weren't going to let you leave with your child anyway"?
 
These people are the kings of sleaze. My niece is a high school teacher/administrator in RI. One of the Kennedys (who shall go nameless) came to speak at her school a couple of years ago. This particular Kennedy (who's married) asked my niece (who's also married) if he could give her a ride home "in his limo" and maybe go out for a drink. She was shocked and politely declined, making it clear that she was already spoken for. Later that evening the phone rings at my niece's home and guess who it is - that's right...it's Don Juan Kennedy asking my niece if she'd like to have lunch with him some time. She was not so polite this time around.

The arrogance of these people is staggering.

I am not sure if permission is required. I will go along with you on this one, I would not think permission would be required, but after watching John Stossel`s "Everything Illegal", I am not so sure anymore, everything is illegal! I thought under the Constitution, and my 2nd Amendment rights, I could carry a gun anywhere. Turns out I was wrong, as you (nogod) pointed out. You told me it had everything to do with the Judges rational. I guess we will have to wait to see what the Judges rational will be in this case. I am sure though, Douglas will be represented by a great attorney (one that I could not afford).

There are many that like to write rules, that others have to live under!

RFK Son Douglas Kennedy Charged With Harassment After Allegedly Kicking Nurse in the Groin in Hospital Fight | Video | TheBlaze.com

Whoa! Just because he's a Kennedy he doesn't have the right to have access to his own son? How would you have posted this if he was a Reagan or a Bush?

Regardless of who it is, as the father of the child, he has the right to have access to his son, don't ya think? And if there is no medical reason for taking the child out for "fresh air" (can you find that is New York City area?) then what is the beef? The endangerment aspect didn't come in until the nurse and the security guards got involved.

Actually it should have been posted:

"I'm a nurse! I'm part of the Medical Class!
You can't tell me what you want to do with your own son you filthy peasant citizen!
We Nurse's are 'above the right of a father'!"

To ALL the Medical professionals out there, I am merely making a point of reversal here. :biggrin:
 
If some imposter had walked off with the baby with the nurse's watching, how would you expect Kennedy to react? I'll bet nurses were enforcing hospital policy -- doing what is expected of them. Kennedy did what I would expect a Kennedy to do on his high horse.
 
I can't tell you how pissed off I am at this. I'm pissed at what a "Kennedy" did but MORE pissed off at the responses from a lot of the people responding to this article...here and on the BLAZE. I am a Registered Nurse. I have been one for 13 years now..6yrs emergency room, 3 yrs IV conscious sedation nurse and now taking care of active duty military, their dependents and retirees. I take my license VERY seriously. After all, without that license I CANNOT practice as a Registered Nurse. When we take care of patients, their lives are literally in our hands. We take care of them, we advocate for them, and we protect them. And yes...even those who are too young to speak for themselves. It is a fact that babies are abducted right after birth from hospitals. That is why where I work we have "code pink" drills at least monthly and we take these drills seriously. We stop what we are doing and search for the baby which is a real babydoll until it is found. We block doorways and the building goes on lockdown UNTIL that "baby" is found. He is the father...yes. He is not above the law or policies in this case. What he did was wrong. And if nothing more...he ASSAULTED a nurse!! Who cares why! i guarantee he would NOT have kicked the 300lb MALE nurse I work with! Are nurses getting assaulted anything new? Hell, it happens all the damn time. The majority of us bend over backwards to take care of our patients. We ALL have a license to protect and I can tell you that as nurses we have saved many a doctor's ass from getting sued. So the "doctor" who threw those nurses under the bus...not surprised. There are alot of doctors out there that don't give a damn about a nurse...until their asses are under the care of a nurse when they are facing an allergic reaction or a kidney stone (2 examples I have personally dealt with). And since when does any doctor have the ability to determine who (of course being a friend...) can break policy of a hospital?? I'm just disgusted. Those nurses licenses were on the line. All the so-called daddy had to do was sign that baby out AMA. Then he could take that baby out in the cold through the cigarrette infested air (where many stand to smoke) while going out the front door. After all the "baby" needed fresh air. Yeah...my ass.

Bob, there wasn't any assault until the nurse and security tried to get between the father and his son. Forget who the guy is and look at the issue from a father's standpoint.

That is your rational, we will see what the courts rational is. I am making my judgement on the video, and Douglas did not seem to be cooperating. We will soon hear "the rest of the story". Do not worry, Douglas will be well represented.

I applaud your service to your community and I commend you for all you do to help the sick and infirm.

Can you explain this part of the equation?

"I witnessed the incident and I can state unequivocally that the nurses were the only aggressors," Haydock said.

Walt629,

That ER doctor was not on that maternity floor in a business capacity. There was no professional reason for him to be there other than as a friend and a friend of 15 years I might add. Doctors do not have the right or jurisdiction to do away with hospital policy as he sees fit. He may not have even been an employee of that hospital. Every ER I have worked in, the ER doctors were NOT employees of the hospital but were contracted out and billed patients separately for services. I'm not surprised that a doctor would throw those nurses under the bus. I've had friends who worked with surgeons in the OR who literally had scalpels thrown at them in the middle of a surgery, clipboards thrown across the room, etc. I will say that most doctors appreciate their nurses but some think they are GOD, especially surgeons, and don't care if a nurse takes a fall for him or in this case, a close family friend. Nurses used to be handmaidens and were scared of the doctors. Not anymore...we advocate for our patients even if that means reporting the orthopedic doctor who is called into the ER in the middle of the night to work on a child's broken arm and yet smells strongly of alcohol. He gets reported. Or the surgeon who throws a clipboard...he gets reported and has to attend anger management classes. We refuse to give medications ordered by a doctor when we know it may hurt that patient or is not in that patient's best interest. We are not afraid to point out errors a doctor is about to make. And as I perform my Code Pink drills here at work, if I see a man carrying a baby and trying to go down the stairwell, and one is right down the hall from my office, I am going to put my body between him and the door to that stairway. And if he kicks me to the ground then so be it. What am I supposed to do...hold the door open for him? I think not. There are rules in place for a reason. We have stop lights and red lights that we are to abide by or we are ticketed. People get so caught up in thinking that rules are taking away their freedoms, etc. but there are some rules that are in place to better this country. Yes it is sad that babies born must have GPS monitors and alarms on them but it is a fact that babies are abducted right out of nurseries. That baby can't scream or fight off their kidnapper. Babies are literally being kidnapped out of mothers' wombs these days. It happened not too long ago in Milwaukee not far from where I live. I can tell you one thing...those 2 nurses are having no problem sleeping at night because they know they did what they were supposed to do and did all they could do and I give my nurse sisters a ton of praise!
 
Glock girl.... Thanks for taking the time to put some if the people here in their place. I honestly think that some people here will try to take any situation as the "man" taking away their rights. I've jumped through the hospital hoops for three kids now and a much as the bracelets and all the security measures sucked I knew that my girls were safe and I could focus on my wife while the nurses had my daughters.

If this Kennedy numb nuts cant follow what the hospital explained in advance he can have his kids birth at home and take personal responsibility for the consequences for any complications.
