With
a few minutes to spare before the Sunday early shift ended I thought that
rather than having a tea break I might do a BTLP-TACT exercise. I’d had a
rather difficult shift, I wasn’t feeling on top form (I’d barely slept last night), my car is laying in tatters in the
car park (I will be getting the train
home and arranging car fixing tomorrow), so if I’m going to get the blood
banking wrong I’d like to get it wrong in the simulator… and know that I need
to work on separating my mind from my troubles and to concentrate more…
So…I
was presented with one case – a seventy-year old female who was vomiting blood.
A group and antibody screen was required.
She
was A Rh(D) Pos with no antibodies found.
I
got the green light… Bearing in mind the stress I was feeling, a more
challenging scenario might have been a more valuable exercise. But I’m grateful
for the use of the simulator…
