Oh man. Another heavy night. At least I didn't have anyone with a stupid antibody. Ugh. I am just so tired. Over 13 (I stopped counting after that one) patients - about half were admitted to the hospital due to severity of illness.
Had a bunch of crap go down with this one patient. A while ago, I posted about a jerk who came to the lab window on my shift to drop off a bucket of crap for testing. He said it was a timed specimen, he walked over without all the paperwork and so forth then cussed me out for not knowing what to do with said specimen, etc... when it was his fault he didn't come to the lab during business hours. Anyway, he was in the registration area this morning, pissing another fit about a bucket of shit he brought in. The guy is demanding, socially inept, total ass. I gave him an official name today, Der Fuhrer. Anyway, he was in the registration area (before the registration area opened, mind you) to drop this load off. Registration calls me to come get it. Uh, hello, I can't leave the lab. They ask for a phlebotomist... they are all on the floor doing timed draws and stat collections. They ask for a different tech to come down... we're in the middle of morning rounds! What part of NO do you not understand? Then the woman said that she'd call the nursing supervisor. Great. Shoot me now. I can't help it if Der Fuhrer came to the outpatient lab at 0530 when we open there at 0700. And there is no such thing as a "timed specimen" for a bucket of shit! It was for a C. diff. test. Dude, if you can walk from your house to the hospital, you have NOT got C. diff. I've had it. I couldn't even walk to the bathroom, I was so weak.
I will admit that I got the giggles. The Zen Master said, and I quote, "No wonder he's grumpy if he has the shits". OMG. NJK said "shit". I nearly died laughing. I couldn't help it. This good, Catholic woman just said a bad word. LOL
To give vent to my spleen, as they say, I came home and pulled up all of those ugly, dead flowers/plants. We'll have a bumper crop of them next year as the seeds are all over the place. If you want any, to say, grow up around the sides of a car on blocks in your yard or to take over your yard, let me know. I have plenty of seed.
My hibiscus are in bloom. I'm so happy. :D They look wonderful.
Well, time to print up some jokes for JKL and then wash my hair. I'm a little gross after sweating all over creation this morning.
