You know, what would be funny.... If Big had to get four bronze, and four silvers, for each gold....
relic......you here?
I got on here lastnight and started wading through the 6-7 pages of old posts, then my wife started having pain in her chest. Since she has a pulmonary disease, I got right off here and started reassuring her that she was ok.
She cried and thought she was dying. She even wrote a little note to me and our daughter about how she loved us and would miss us. It was really sad actually.
I went and got our daughter from her bed, and put her in between us, and we finally went to sleep sometime around 5am or so. She got up the morning and left me asleep and took our daughter to swimming lessons and just got home a little bit ago. I need to go check on her, but I think she's doing fine. she's posting on facebook I think.
Chronic illnesses are the worst, you feel bad all the time, slowly getting worse, until you die. It really sucks. And I see people at work all the time that are in the end stages of diseases. Sometimes I'm the last person they see before they die. It just kills me. I also see 20-30-somethings that come into the ER for every little dam thing that makes them go "ouchy". And they want narcs for the "pain".
Lastnight was "old home night" or "family reunion" as we call it. Almost every patient that came to the ER, we all know. Like they are there at least once a week, if not more. Don't have to ask them questions, cause we have their medical history memorized. And they aren't paying for it, oh no, they are on the States dime, or have no insurance, and won't ever pay a cent.
Can I be done now?
Ok, I'm going to see my wife.....
Edit: wow, just read your post POC, I hope everything is OK.
And F those leeches that go to the ER every chance they get because they know they won't be paying for it.
Thanks guys. Sometimes I just have to vent about this stuff.
And yes, I wish I could say, "You're here for what? Get the hell out!"
I am the triage nurse, I am the first one that sees the patients when they come in and decide where they need to go and what we need to start doing. I am the gatekeeper, so to speak. Don't **** me off. (Not that I am that shallow as to with-hold care from someone just for the sake of it.) But then again, if this is the 4th time this month you've been here for a toothache, your teeth are rotting out of your head and you haven't been to see a dentist, frankly, I'm tired of you. Go see the dentist, goto your family doctor, go to the clinic in Louisville that will pull your teeth for free. I don't care, just get out of my face!!!!!!
Ok, gotta run to town....
