One before I'm on call and I doubt I can write...
13 years ago Grandpa died. Maybe I was his favorite too... One Christmas, when everyone just got their parker pens and bibles, he gave me a teddy bear. Off white, red bow around it's neck. I was practically in my teens at the time. What's with the stuffed amnimals? But then again I got a stuffed amnimal this year too.
Anyway, the reason I decided to write... I'm on call with Eva tomorrow. Ugh... She wasn't in today. She's been having RUQ pain radiating to the back. Anyway, I'm really not looking forward to it. Not even cause she's cut throat... Just I don't want to hear her talk. Most of the time I'm with her, I don't respond to her on purpose cause I just don't want to listen to her. Hopefully she'll keep Nord company.
Lol. Then uh-oh... I warned Nord we'll be on call together again. Seems like the pairing of us 2... Crazy things happen. Perforated bowel, consult galore...
New interns this week. We still have Coudary. Then we've got Ralph and Deana. OMG... We hate Deana... She's like page me asap if there is anything with your patients. Reasonable... But the fact that Pam got screamed at the day before for not reporting labs... Which they should be looking up by themselves anyway... Why is it we're doing the intern's job? Lol. We told Ralph he's already black listed cause Adams thinks the interns are useless. Then the fact, Ploy was presenting one of her patients to the attending. She shows up out of nowhere and butts in / pushes her to the side. Ploy just left. Yeah... So we're not doing crap for her. As for my interaction with her... She asked who has so and so. Not in today, I had 2 patients at the time, should have 3, so I'm like I'll take it. Can you change the dressing. Sure. Ever do it on a chest tube. No... OK, call her when I'm ready and she'll show me. OK. So I call her and phrase... I'm free whenever you are, can you come and show me. Not do it, etc, etc. So she's like OK meet me, etc, etc. I do, she's like who else do I have? I need to do this and that... I'm dutifully jotting notes. At one point, I think she mistakes me for Ploy. She's like where's your little friend, I'm gonna make you run around tonight. Yeah... More fuel. Anyway, so we change dressings, draw some labs. She asked if I knew how to. I said I did / wouldn't mind doing it. But she said she didn't mind drawing blood either. The only hesitancy I have with drawing blood, is I don't know the whole... What I need to do before the actual drawing of the blood. I think all that needs to be done, is inform the nurse to pop it in the comp. Stamp out some labels. Check some form. Oh yeah... The intern has to write an order. That could be a prob... Anyway, draw the blood and bring it down to the lab... So much easier at Kings... I mean, personally I didn't really have a problem with her. She even said I'm not that mean. But the fact that everyone else has a prob with her. And that little incident with the EKG machine... Yeah, I know I have to watch out for her. Mustn’t be totally nice to her or I'll get dumped on like the other interns did to me.
Bought The Constant Gardener. Uh... I think it had to do with Pharmaceuticals, which we all love... testing somewhat unsafe flu meds on Africans, with people getting killed cause they trying to expose the fact that they are being used as guinea pigs. Expendable test subject that would die either way. Anyway, long story short... It was boring as hell.
