Today was luckily the last day I'd be working one of these long shifts. I didn't have that much time this morning again, because I kept falling back asleep every time I woke up. But I got up at 11 AM or so, got a shower, grabbed my food that I didn't eat yesterday, got ready, and left. I actually wore the same shirt that I've worn the past three days, but it's my favorite work shirt, it's the one that fits the best, so I wore it again. Janell got home right before I left because she got up early to get breakfast with Myra or something, so I said hi to her, then left.
Work felt like it was going by really slow at first, the first several hours felt like forever. There kept being requests that I had to cancel or postpone because they were already done, or the patient wasn't ready, all the requests just took a long time. There was another request from OB, so I got to go back there for my second time ever. It was from OB to neurophysiology, fun. My mom got me a soda and an Italian wrap thing, so that was good. Then something really fun happened at around 4 PM. I had a guy from surgical that I was taking to CT scan, who the nurses thought took some drugs while he was in the hospital, and his daughter was on the phone yelling to talk to a nurse, because according to her, no, he did not take any drugs or anything, but he was really acting like he was on drugs. I was the only one moving his bed because they put it in as only needing one person even though it was a bed, and I didn't want to get Nathan Chanley involved, so I just did it myself. It started out not so bad, until we were in the hallway before you get to MRI and he sat up and said he felt sick. There was nothing I could do, there were no vomit bags or anything with me, and like, five seconds after he said that, he projectile vomits all over the side of his bed, the floor, and the wall. And it was nasty stuff, there were jalapenos or something in it. I was about to call housekeeping when that one CT girl, Macie, happened to walk by and she got ahold of someone to clean it up. Then we went to CT and it was smooth sailing from there. I don't think there were any other notable events, really. Rylee showed up at 6 PM or something and Nathan left, but it was nice to talk to Rylee again. I had one thing that was from med tele to ICU and I had to have a nurse come with me, since I was going to the ICU. The guy that came with me was Jimmy, and I got to talk to him some, and it was actually his birthday today. So that was kind of cool. I had a few more ER requests that I think we pretty unremarkable, then I played Survev.io, ate about five cookies that were in the break room and then I left.
On the way home, I listened to some Beach House, and that was a good vibe. "Girl of the Year" was a pretty good song. At home, I didn't do much except finish The Amazing Spider-Man and then I also watched 28 Days Later. And I don't think I did much else.
So today was alright, at least that was my last long shift I'll have to work. 3.5/10.
