Reflection using Gibbs’ Models

Description

During the summer holiday, I attended field placement in a psychiatry field where I was responsible for proving care to patients. One particular patient, Mr. Khan, was very aggressive, and he had suicidal thoughts. I called the psychiatrist on duty. He injected the patient with excess Haloperidol medicine and used an excessive force on the patient to a point where he fell.

Feelings

I was acutely suppressing by this turn of events since I did not expect the doctor to respond violently to a patient. I felt disappointed, but I had little to do since the physician was more experienced and I did not want to embarrass him.

Evaluation

The turn of the event presented a dilemma to me, and I was torn between speaking out for the patient and reminding the senior psychiatrist about the importance of the duty of care and handling patients ethically.
