I suppose you would have had to have been there. I was!
No, I didn't belong there. My problem was my heart had stopped working,
I wasn't woke, and that was enough reason for them to wrongly diagnose me. Well, and saving a nickel on someone they suspected was dead meat without possibility of healing.
That didn't mean I was happy about it. Even if I didn't know all that then.
And, yes... I... had a way with the loons and with the staff. They
learned... the hard way. Oh... nobody lost an eye, or other
things. But egos were damaged with ease, often, and harshly.
I almost wonder if someone, from there, remembers. That was an accurate
drop. What are the odds of a random hit? I... don't believe dice
are rolled. This wasn't a random pop. I... did have to
chuckle. And, yes... I got my way even after doing or going a bit
wrong. Push, but not too far or hard. Mostly.
I miss House, need to find and binge watch.
ReplyDeleteFirst problems I had in Hospital were with the respiratory therapists (mind you close post-covid) I'd been on c-pap for ~15 years at that point (I knew what I was doing) They tried to micromanage my air, I told them I didn't NEED help. Respiratory therapist whined to the Charge Nurse (I had a cool rapport with her) She took my O2 readings and said you're good. I controlled my sleep air after that.
Had an intern nursing student following my nurse one day, I offered at one point to let her set an IV and draw blood for training (stuff we did in the Nav)... The training part. Everyone has to learn, I was willing to help.
Late that evening she came to my room to say goodbye and ask me some questions about my situation. I was brutally honest, drinking was ingrained in me from childhood, I gave long detailed examples. Her phone started lighting up... get down here get in the van we're going home... She stayed and talked and listened ignoring her fellow interns, I wish I could talk to her now as a followup to her education.
It's difficult, when you have to fight for yourself, your health, your life. I swear, many of them would kill you off. Whether for racial hatred, religious (or irreligious if they kick that way), sexist (against men), or because they are dimwits, and their ai system says to turn left, like goog maps would have you drive over a cliff... and people do.
ReplyDeleteHave to keep an eye on them, and know your own stuff, do your own research. They will kill you, intentionally or from sheer incompetence.
Funny thing? I have never watched House. I haven't had television for twenty years now? And was in engineering school for six years before that. Taking it slow, and struggling. Back then, they were still saying my bad heart was depression, so it wasn't being treated. Okay, sometimes it is pure hatred. Medicals can be sheer cunts, and that's the ones with balls.
