It's true when they say your whole life flashes in front of you when you're about to die......

I got the scare of my life the other day. It started on my back, like a muscle tightness. Then it slowly creeped to my chest, sharp pain and tightness at the same time. I tried to breathe as deep as I can, 1,2, I don't know how many times. I had to get the Oxygen into my heart, fast. I realized that my patient was looking intently at me because I was just staring out the window for I don't know how long. My whole life just flashed before me.....not only that...my future as well. I thought about going to the ER, getting all the labs and procedures done, bracing myself for the bad news. I imagined myself on the cathlab table and having someone put pressure on my groin. For what seemed like a million minutes after, I finally relaxed, and the pain was slowly creeping away. I could have cried, I wanted to. But I did not have time.....it was one of those crazy days on the floor. So while I was having the scare of my life, I carried on with my work...taking care of patients who had the same scary experience as I had just then.

Maybe Marty was right, it could very well be just a muscle strain. I'll take that.....it's just a muscle strain. God, please, let it just be a muscle strain!

one of those days.....

Bedrest up on pt in room ***, I have to check ortho bp's. Pt #2 is due for his peg feeding, pt #3 wants to ambulate and pt #4 just wants so bad to join the fun so he asks for info on every little detail. Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!

Ang hirap kumita ng pera!!!!

Be thankful for small blessings........

1. Thank you at walang nakaisip mg code "brown". I did not have to wipe anybody's ass.
2. Thank you that all 3 accuchecks were within normal, I did not have to give insulin.
3. Thank you 3 of 4 patients had foleys in , there weren't very many calls for assistance to the bathroom and it's easier to keep track of their outputs.
4. Thank you pt#3's relatives came to visit and ambulated him.

Thank you pagdating ng paycheck ko!!!!!!
