During my time at the hospital I learned to irrigate a patients hand. It was an interesting experience. Even though the patient was in excruciating pain his hand needed to be irrigated to prevent any infections that may affect his hand and may need to be amputated. Since this patient is a right dominate, and the injury was on the right hand, the injury has affected his working ability. Kaiser is not the hospital that can work on the hand, thus the patient needed to be transferred to another hospital.
