One of them is a nurse just out of college. Her outrage with my practice of ACEs in the field is that there is no patient discharge plan. Lets say there are 20% of America with a score of 4+. 60+million people. Do we have to wait until all the ducks are in a row before pulling the trigger on delivering services? I'm pushing up from the bottom. I hate the idea of one more child entering into the pipeline of trauma while some are trying to reinvent the wheel. The patients I see that are receiving treatment have not been asked the ACEs survey. Young and old. So debating the age old question "What came first. The chicken or the egg" doesn't matter.
Everyone have a good evening. It's midnight. Off to bed.
Glad you were able to see the film and introduce the idea to others, and that most can now understand some of the concepts. Very encouraging!! Unfortunately didn't get to see it myself due to time difference. Really wanted to, but guess I'll have to wait. Would also like to show it to others, or better still, broadcast on one of our government tv stations.
Yes you can't wait until all ducks in a row, cos I don't believe they'll ever line up perfectly.
