My Humanity
I was on my way out the door from the lab tonight and I answered a call from the ER. They wanted the results of some cardiac enzymes for a patient. I told them that the test had just begun and that it would take almost 30 minutes. They said that according to the EKG he was having a heart attack and they needed the results. I told them there was no way to make the analyzer go faster but I would have the results called to them the instant they were complete. That was five and half hours ago and I only now thought about the poor man who was in potentially life threatening danger. I always say a silent prayer for anyone in harms way. Whether they are my patients or others. Am I losing my humanity. All I was concerned with was that the ER waited too long to put the orders in and if they were s concerned then they should have been paying more attention and not xpect miracles from us.
How could I stoop to such low level. I've always held myself to the highest of standards and I cannotg believe that I thought and felt that. I refuse to be one of those people who does their job mindlessly.
I CHRISTOPHER JOHN KADY, R.M.A. do solemnly pledge myself as a Registered Medical Assistant, before God and in the presence of this assembly, to live my life in purity and to practice my profession faithfully, according to its highest standards, I will abstain from whatever is detrimental and unprofessional, will not knowingly administer any harmful drugs to myself or to anyone placed in my care. I will do all in my power to live up to the trust placed in me, and in the standards of a Registered Medical Assistant. I promise to hold in confidence all personal matters entrusted to me by my employer relevant to my employer, our patients and their families in the practice of my calling. With loyalty and dilligence will I aid the physicians and other allied nurses in their endeavors, and show TENDERNESS and COMPASSION to ALL those in need. As an "Angel of Mercy" above all I pledge myself to the dedicated service to all humanity all the days of my life. So say we all.
That is my oath. It is my creed and I feel like I forgot it today and since noone on my friends list who reads this was actually there when I took the oath, I thought I would share and reafirm my pledge to humanity.
And to prove it, I'm working in the Cafeteria again for a few weeks. I am an Angel of Mercy after all.
