If you were speaking to someone that didn't used to work in QI, that would almost sound convincing. Except that QI is, from a study-design perspective, equivalent to "shittily-built pragmatic observational trial," aka, the thing we know from every other field of clinical medicine that is ultimately followed by an RCT to be wildly unreliable.
That said, hey haven’t even provided that shoddy data. They’re providing anecdotes.
Some nurses are great, some nurses are "fucking idiots," and neither is relevant to the discussion of "if a patient is in a hospital, I want to be able to handle an emergency." I don't ask a nurse if they think a gown is needed, any more than I wouldn't ask a nurse if we should keep a BVM by the bed, any more than I wouldn't ask a nurse if we should have an oxygen supply by the bed, any more than I wouldn't ask a nurse if a crash cart should be kept reasonably close. Because it's not a question - as long as the patient is under my care in an acute care environment, I will have reasonable access to emergency supplies should they need it.
