Kinda become obsessed with the Pitt and Dennis Whitaker.

Sooooo I’ve made an OC cause I can

Everyone meet …

Delaney Jane Park

She’s a paediatric nurse in the Pitt. She met Dennis and started dating him in college and have been engaged for 1 month.

No one knows. People think she’s dating Park the Shark, but he’s her older brother

She’s obsessed with pink and has a medical alert dog (diabetic type 1) called Marsh who stays under the nurses station unless he has to alert her for a low or high blood reading

🌷 the basics: born and raised in houma, louisiana - mid 20s - paediatric oncology nurse - known for: being the only nurse with the bouncy hair with a vanilla trail following behind her - signature drink: caramel macchiato

🌻 personality: the sunshine in a hospital that rarely sees it. she’s bubbly, playful, and always ready with a smile! even on the hardest days. she talks fast, laughs easily, and has a way of making even the scariest moments feel a little less terrifying. but she isn’t fragile. beneath all the sweetness is a girl with sharp edges. when things are too planned, too controlled, or too pressured, she gets snappy. not because she’s mean, because she’s tired. because she’s overwhelmed. because she’s holding too much together. she’s the kind of girl who can comfort a crying child with one hand and shut down a careless doctor with the other.

🌟 her style: literally anything girly. glossy lips, dysoned hair, perfume that smells like marshmallows or vanilla (kayali vanilla), gold heart shaped earrings, fuzzy socks with kittens in them, sabrina carpenter (LOVES man’s best friend), and her pink scrubs

🫧 looks: golden hair that you’d usually see straightened or half up, in reality it’s a wild mess. frizzy, bouncy ringlets that you’d only see in the brave movie. carries a slightly tainted louisiana accent, tooth gap that she absolutely hates.

🍓 now, a 23 year old girl who just got her nursing title.. so why is she so obsessed with this one attending?? stay tuned to find out! 💕

LOVE YOU 💟

Someone reblogged one of my old posts where i mention emergency medicine and these days I can’t believe I almost chose that as a specialty. These days if i’m in the hospital past 6PM i want to throw up. If i see a patient older than 16 i’m just confused. I need a 45 minute break half way through a ward round to drink hot choccy and gossip. I was born to be a pediatric sub specialist.

Baby with rare disease given world-first personal CRISPR gene therapy

An infant with a severe genetic condition has shown signs of improvement after receiving a gene-editing treatment tailored to his specific m

It's hard to explain how much of a big deal this could potentially be for paediatrics. There are many rare diseases - most of them with a very small number of people affected, often with a de novo mutation not seen before. Many of them affect core processes that we need for life - like enzymes or processes that we cannot live without.

Many of these conditions are severely disabling, and many of them are unpreventably progressive, getting worse over time, becoming fatal in childhood or even infancy. With few known treatments that can help. I've seen families and affected children with severe genetic conditions and the suffering all of them experienced is still etched on my heart - and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

The fact that maybe one day we will be closer to saving these kids' lives and preventing years of suffering and early deaths is genuinely inspiring.

Gene therapy has been suggested as a treatment for years, but it has taken a long time for it to yield results that we can truly see. I have so much hope for these kids.

Me: *walks into room at 4AM* Hi, I'm the supervising pediatric emergency doctor. I've heard about you from Dr [resident] and I just want to make sure that we have all the details straight, so-- Parent: It's been 8 hours and no one has seen or done anything for my child. Me: I'm sorry for the wait, but we can get things going if I can just-- Parent: Is it normal for a child with a fever to wait 8 hours to be seen? Me: Unfortunately, yes, when the emergency department is very busy and many children are very sick. Parent: How can that be okay?! My child has had a fever and no one came to see her-- Me: We are here now and we'd like to help, would it be okay for me to do a check so we can make a plan? Parent: You should be concerned! Me: ...I am concerned, which is why I want to do this check to figure out what we can do to take care of your child. Parent: Why didn't anyone do anything before? Me: ...The nurses cannot order tests or medications for patients until the doctor has-- Parent: LAST TIME we came here, the nurses just gave us a cup for her to get a urine sample as soon as we got here, and I've never had to wait this long and I've been here many times. Me: I'm glad that your experience previously has been as such, but unfortunately tonight there have been many children needing care. Parent: You have absolutely no bedside manner, you know that? Absolutely none. You have no compassion for a parent that's been waiting here with their child for 8 hours, I haven't slept, and no one came to see us. Me: I'm sorry you had to wait. I'd like to assess your child to help you now, if you'd like. If not, that's your choice. Parent: Of course you have to do something! I've been waiting here--I am not just going to go back home with nothing. --Exam done, tests ordered, parent again questions wait times and rants, there are many other kids in the department who have ALSO waited 8 hours to be seen, I have multiple acute respiratory patients on escalating oxygen therapy that I am now overdue to reassess, oncology patient comes in with fever and needs acute assessment, blah blah blah emergency department blah--

Nursing note x2 between triage and my resident's first assessment: Parent up to nursing station asking about wait time, writer expressed we are unable to estimate due to acuity of department. Parent upset; writer offered to reassess pt now, parent refused as child is sleeping.

...You have been here for 8 hours and no one came to see you.

I have no bedside manner.
