Tis Monday all

Yes, yes it is, but hey, bright spot and all that...DAY OFF!  Wheeeee!
 

Worked yesterday.  Lets just say, one of my patients was part of some religious order, older than dirt and pretty damn demanding of this nurse.  Oh, and I might add, so were his buddies, ugh!!  I took it on the chin for awhile, then Nurse Ratched made an appearance, tho he still tried his damndest to manipulate me.  Holy crapolli already dude!  Enuf!  I ended up telling him and his buds that he wasn't my only patient in ICU, but they and he thought he was indeed.   What I wouldn't have given for a little sedation for him and his buds.It was the never-ending story of the 12hr+ shift my friends.

Anyhooo, today was pretty uneventful.  I will tell ya tho, I hate fricking weeding!  It has to be up there with cleaning toilets in my book.  So sorry Patti, I know you like both of these things to do on your days off, but me....not soooo much. 
Therapeutic is what you call it...uh-huh, like ok.

I had a cool Friday.  Gots to meet Brian, very cool, and his GF, and JP cool yet again.  Bri and GF were in town or in my locale for the O'Side 1/2 IM...... check out his blog about it http://accelerate3.wordpress.com/
We had a nice, leisurely lunch and chatted.  It was short, but at least him and I have a face to put with correspondence and such.  Yep, I equate the internet to penpals and such back in the day...or maybe like my parents day.  Hey!  I'm not that old yet thank you very much.  Sorry mom, but tis true.  It was a clear, sunny day down in O'side.  I'm sure race day was similar for Brian and JP.  Kudos to you guys for racing and doing a job well done.

  1. So i'm wondering, with the "difficult" patients, can't you just "accidentally" slip, say, some heavy-duty benadryl - or hell, just go with the whiskey - into their IV? Maybe? Like there would be anything wrong with that??
