The RTE Documentary on the workings of the ICU in St.James Hospital made for riveting viewing .One of my nieces, Kate Stephens ,is a staff nurse there and figured prominently.I am extremely proud of her and indeed all of my immediate and more remote family members who place their health daily on the line,wherther as mid wives,general nurses,public health nurses,phtciatric nurses or other health assistant employees.
There is no doubt but that you must have a special vocation to be a nurse ,more especially to work in the ICU where I imagine hard cases are the norm.
Such was and is the case displayed in the documentary.
In particular I was hugely impressed with the way the nurses spoke to the recently deceased patients and afforded them the dignity they deserved.
What I drew from the programme was the depth of compassion and hope displayed by all concerned in the care of the sick.
I have long since regarded Ryan Tubridy as having a want of some description and normally don't listen to a guy who has far too much too much nonsense to spout and I regard as suspect the opinion of any man who cannot keep his family together,as our Ry\ano cannot so do.
So therefor I regard as utterly contemptible his labelling of the documentary as a "horror show".I t so was not but a beacon of hope in a grim landscape and a testament to those who labour at the coalface in pursuit of healing.
Ryano used the programme to batter the aviation and tourist trade ,which in my view missed the whole point ..
