Sanity is madness put to good use. – George Santayana
Someone at the ANA needs a nose job. They just told a lie.
I hopped onto Twitter yesterday to check out some tweets after I learned that the ANA had mentioned Kim McAllister from Emergiblog and me in one of their messages. Here’s a screen shot:
It all started when my blog buddy, Vernon Dutton from NursingPins wrote a message on Facebook. He shared that one of his supportive messages about Amanda Trujillo had been removed from the Iowa Nurses Association’s Facebook page. The INA contacted Vernon to let him know that the ANA had told them to take down his comment. Kim and I came out publically and called this censorship. The ANA calls it a misunderstanding. Yeah, right. The ANA hates crystal clear communication between all parties, and what we really have here is a credibility gap. The ANA has a history of waging campaigns of disinformation when they don’t like something, and this tweet is just another example of how they try to manipulate public opinion. Shame on you ANA. Your nose is growing again.

I appreciate this post. Myself, I was considerably less creative – no Disney! – and more blunt in my response. I tweeted back that mere boiler plate won’t cut the old mustard, asked for more substantive evidence. No response, yet, and no surprise. It’s really quite easy to deny anything – lying takes little more effort than does exhaling – but getting away with such lies, I imagine the ANA is learning, is not always so easy.

Im so jaded and disappointed in them, and more so, ashamed FOR them. The only thing I can do to make some good come from that is to never impose upon another nurse the lack of support they have imposed upon me. I will break that cycle.

This doesn’t surprise me at all.

The tweet looks scripted and rather lackluster.
In the past, the ANA has seemed to have their pet projects. Now it seems they have located their pet villain. smile

Thank you Terri for following Amanda’s case, this is from TruthAboutNursing.org
Fired for educating a patient? TruthAboutNursing.org, May 2012:”Phoenix CBS affiliate KPHO-TV ran a short but good item by Peter Busch about veteran local nurse Amanda Trujillo, who said she had been fired by Banner Del Webb Hospital and had a complaint filed against her with the state board of nursing because she had educated a patient about the risks of an upcoming surgery and scheduled a consult about hospice. A hospital spokesman reportedly said that “the doctor, ultimately, is the focal point that directs care for patients” and that “company policy” forbids nurses to order a case management consult. The report does not mention other accounts suggesting that these events were set in motion because the patient’s surgeon was displeased that the patient had decided against the surgery.”

I don’t think it is wrong to educate your patient about the risk in his/her surgery. The Doctor assigned to that patient must also give or inform the patient or the family if it is really a risk to undergo such surgery.

The latest on the case:
Facing a Crossroads, #AmandaTrujillo, MSN, RN & the Arizona State Board of Nursing:”At the heart of Amanda’s case is Patient Advocacy. Her patient was having second thoughts about a Liver Transplant evaluation, and Amanda helped fill in the gaps. The doctor, Dr. Keng-Yu Chuang (Source AZBON public records), who had only offered the liver transplant, went ballistic when the patient asked for Hospice info instead. He demanded the hospital serve Amanda’s head up on a platter and that the Arizona State Board of Nursing be contacted.”
