In my line of work you see it all. You get such a mixture of people and stuff that sometimes I can only shake my head and wonder. There are a few constants though we've all found. Cranky old ladies are waaaaaaay worse than cranky old men. Young sick men are really whiny babies for the most part. You just want to wrap detoxers up like a mummy and throw them in the closet. Some people you can never please no matter how much you bend over backwards. Sometimes you have to be firm, sometimes you have to be overly nice. And never, ever take anything personally.
My little old lady that sounded like the a wicked witch was beating the crap out of me, lol. She kept whaling no my arm while I was trying to get her medicine ready. And calling me a f'ing bitch amongst other things. When I introduced myself to her she was like "I don't give a shit WHAT your name is." Then later, she grabs me and kisses me and tells me I'm so pretty.
Last night I gave her too much medicine and had to give her a bolus of liquids since her blood pressure dropped. With her it was hard to tell whether or not you were giving too much or not enough. Because one pill didn't work to help her calm down, so I had to try another. And well, apparently that was too much. Oi. After that I didn't give her anything. She had calmed down a lot and wasn't trying to beat everyone up. Just yelling a lot.
Alas, I cannot ethically give a patient medication just because I'm tird of listening to them.
We have a pretty sick sense of humor at work. I've found that's pretty normal in a high stress job. I noticed my parents, who are in law enforcement, have a sick sense of humor about their job too. You have to laught or you'll either go nuts or cry.
Switching topics, my guilty pleasure on this diet is coffe. I'm not too limited, just to three cups a day, so I've become more interested in it lately. Just regular coffee with a little bit of creamer in it. Usually sugar free.
Aaron is really sick. :( He was throwing up most of last night while I was at work and today he has a temp and cold like symptoms. He is sooo warm right now and flushed and lethargic. I feel bad for him. My poor sick boy.
