Stop bullshitting !
I acknowledge that the job which i am doing (a carer), everyone could become a carer if they are caring about other people. You don't have to be extremely smart or have high intellectual. That's also not really important job, that's not about someone could die to live without carer because their family or friends who care about them and have enough time to look after them could became their carer. But carer could take a very important role in someone life, mainly for those who being forgotten by their families, they need warm feeling of care and love, that's when carer take important role in someone else life, when carer developed some emotional bonds with their client (without crossing the boundaries). In my opinion, why some carers feel like they are VIP, when i said that carers more like baby sitting but the different is we look after adult or elderly, then they feel offended, then try to attack me with what ever knowledge they got from their experience as a carer, which sometimes just over the top. In my opinion, why i have to do job which suppouse to be done by nurse or doctor? Just because they are longer than me in this industry so they could taking nurse or doctor roles? It's pretty silly what they did, it also cross the boundaries, don't get me wrong, i am not going to say that carers don't have enough knowledge to decided what to do to the health issues of the client, but that's not carer job ! We learn only about personal needs, we just study for 6 months. I don't know in detail or specific things about body, how medications could work, how medications could affect someone, what going to happen next, etc. i not touch clients wounds, even it just replacing the dressing, etc. I would ask them to call nurse or i call nurse. Never taking risk of someone else life. Yesterday i work for an elderly woman who just came back from hospital and became paraplegic, she got pressure wound, and yesterday the dressing a bit came off. Some carer could just leave it, but i ask her to call nurse. I knew that i could just leave it, she won't realise anyway. But if i just leave it, i am worry that she could get infection. With a bit if drama yesterday, as she and her husband got really anxious, up set, and worried what going to happen, as i ask them to call nurse, so it was not smooth yesterday. Even i knew that i could make it smooth by not telling them anything about that. Oh, other who feel that they have enough experience then could probably decided to replace the dressing by them self, then i don't know what going to happen next. If you are carer and you feel VIP, that's fine but please remember that you get paid for your caring skill, don't pretend to be a nurse or doctor, unless you done your study.
