And basically thats the last thing this patient consciously heard ever again because they coded again and I didn't think about any of this until I got home because I just be at work doing my next thing after that's like that didn't even just happen
Patient lost their pulse, got intubated, regained pulse and regained consciousness while intubated, awake looking around terrified tracking us with their eyes, drs are acknowledging it, talking over the patient to the nurses saying we have to get them sedated, yet nobody's
talking to the patient who just coded and is now awake, so I'm taking it upon myself to look down at the patient who is making meaningful eye contact with me and I'm like I know this is scary we're trying our best to make you comfortable but we had to put a breathing tube in
In the mood to start a house project that my husband would've said "not right now" to but I'll start it anyway without his knowledge and then he'll have no choice but to join bc I will have fucked something up early on in the project anyway.. like I'm going to Lowe's right now
And she wasn't in police custody because she yelled at me I feel like I misconstrued that. She arrived in police custody and then we yelled at eachother
Also I got into a screaming match with a patient today who was in police custody because she started yelling at me after I asked her when her pain started and she had already been had an attitude and in my head she was accusing me of being dismissive towards her which I wasn't
And then I started yelling at her but legitimately YELLING (she already took it there lol) but I'm like I ASK THAT TO EVERY PATIENT YOURE NOT SPECIAL?? WHEN DID YOUR PAIN START?? And the alleged that she thought I had asked her something else entirely and she misheard meπππ
If you've never triaged several ambulances all with critical patients at the same time because they all show up at the same time, then I don't want your career advice π―ββοΈ
And then we're on the phone briefly reminiscing about Don't Wake Daddy and i look up again and I'm like oh wait yeah so what about this guy that's about to climb off the CT table what we doing with him
Yesterday my patient kept trying to sit up in the CT scan and I call the resident telling her this guy keeps sitting up like in that game Don't Wake Daddy and I said you remember that game right? And she laughs and is like oh yeah haha yes I do
I was actively doing CPR on somebody and we got their pulse back while doing compressions and I was like oh shit this has never happened to me before πββοΈ
Nothing triggers my mom more than her thinking I need to explain myself to her just because she asked π lady I don't have to explain a damn thing to you about what I got going on
One time I took care of a really sick teenager who ended up having a terminal cancer diagnosis and she died a week later and then a month later her mother killed herself and I think about that often
