I had my first run in with a purwick recently, I ended up peeing the bed. It was so embarrassing 😭

My mom loved the purewick after her hip surgery. She wanted one to take home, lol.

It’s always the “I promise I won’t fall” patients that fall over 😂

If someone was up and walking to the bathroom, I’ve never put them on bedrest because of a heparin drip… Maybe just walk with them to the bathroom?

I cannot use a purewick. It doesn't work on me. I have had nurses get mad at me because they wanted me to use it, and I just couldn't let it go.

As an ED nurse I’ve never had to confine someone to the bed while on a heparin drip.

"But I won't fall" with the same intensity as crazy drivers "But I won't crash".

I know it's frustrating to explain over and over. but it's hard for patients to surrender their dignity. This was a good example of having patience but also being firm.
