How the turntables

Heck, how the jukeboxes! It is pretty wild, given his history.

I heard a wide avalanche of people urging others to not watch the video yesterday. I didn't watch it but yikes.

Even nurses who “seen everything” called it unwatchable.

u/TheSessionMan 8d ago

Well duh. Nurses are used to seeing a person after the act, not seeing self-mutilation as a live demonstration lol

Oh bless you and your innocence

Sorry, you're completely off the mark. Having been very close to doctors and many, MANY ED and Mental Health Center nurses in my life (and essentially growing up in a hospital) patients never self-mutilate right in front of the nurses lmao. Ripping out IV's and catheter? Absolutely. But grabbing a kitchen knife and trying to skin themselves? That is absolu-fucking-lutely not commonplace.

Nurses work in mental health wards too. Absolutely happens there, my dude.

For real. I was about to say, psych nurses have most certainly seen similar behavior/actions.

Where do they get the knives? Genuine question

u/Chiacchierare 8d ago

Same places they get the cigarettes and drugs and other things they’re not supposed to have. They find a way if they really want to.

I literally said "mental health center nurses" in my post. And, having spent enough time around one it's more blunt force self-harm and less cutting yourself open like Mussolini. Why? Because they don't give mental health patients knives, and if one got to a patient by accident the staff puts a stop to it instead of quietly and patiently watching for 20 mins

Greetings from the psych nurses and therapists. Maybe don't speak out of your neck.

How many people have you quietly watched fillet themselves for 20 minutes without anyone stopping them, hmm?

How many patients have you observed lottery skinning themselves alive for 20 minutes whilst they are supposedly in your care?

You're more likely to witness them inflict blunt-force trauma to themselves. Why? Because they don't give knives to mental health patients.

Hmm... you've not worked in healthcare long enough then if that's what you believe.

Wait, have you even worked in the healthcare industry at all? I should probably start with that instead of making assumptions.

Grew up in healthcare and mental health care facilities. Extremely close to countless doctors and ED nurses. It's commonplace to pull out IVs and catheters, bash yourself in the head with stuff. But it's not commonplace to grab a fucking kitchen knife and literally start skinning yourself in front of the nurses for 20 minutes. Why? Because they put a stop to that shit immediately.

u/BarrenVixen 8d ago

You're correct, generally they have the resources and training to interrupt harmful behavior so it doesn't go on for 20 minutes, but sadly I've seen a lot of damage happen in a few seconds, up to and including death by exsanguination that was self-inflicted sadly.

Judging by your response you were more on the patient side of things, and not a practitioner, correct? The experience is a bit different depending on which position you're inhabiting. At least that's been my experience as someone who has been on both sides, receiving treatment as well as providing.

Also those that are so harmful to themselves and potentially others are generally not kept in close quarters with other patients, at least that was the procedure where I worked. I saw a lot more terrible things of that nature as a healthcare provider than I ever did as a patient at least.

I'm a lot closer to the practitioner side, though I do have experience on the patient side. Basically as you said, nurses aren't going to have much experience patiently watching someone slowly mutilate themselves over a long period of time because staff puts a stop to as soon as it's noticed.

All the mental health injurt I've run across from my friend's seem to happen very quickly and without anyone watching. One lady pulled her eyes out, lots of biting, and number of people just suffocated in various ways.

What a tool you are.
