VAC Hodge Podge for $200
The VAC was full of laughs today, as well as an indepth conversation with a medical doctor concerning patient's rights and health care providers' personal feelings. First some humor!
NH Hallway @ 0915:
[Little old man wheeling himself down the hallway]
Little old man - *squirt*
Ahsirt - [thinking to self "Dear God he's pooped himself."]
[Ahsirt running back up hall to little old man]
Ahsirt - "Sir can I help you?"
Little old man - "No missy, I'm fine, I'm just vomiting."
Ahsirt - "..."
Ahsirt - "I'll get you some help. Wait right here."
[Ahsirt turns to get some help and little old man puts wheel chair in high gear leaving rubber behind.]
*Ok...fine and vomiting just don't go together! As I walked down the hall, I realized the little old man had vomited every 4 feet...housekeeping!*
Med Rounds @ 1300
After discussing the four patients selected for med rounds today, TK asked the medical team if there were any other patients or issues they wanted to discuss. Doc H asked, "When's the last time someone around here got Marinol?" TK, Ms. Resident, and I looked at each other and smiled. We had been waiting for an opportunity to share our feelings on the injustice JC had done by trying to deny the request for the drug. Our discussion lasted for about 15 minutes and then Doc H made an allusion that I immediately caught. He said, "If you had an alcoholic uncle that use to beat you, that doesn't mean you can refuse to treat an alcoholic. In the health care field, you put your personal beliefs aside for the betterment of the patient." Point well taken. He was alluding to the fact that JC refused the med solely on the basis that the patient was an AIDS patient. That is morally, and more importantly, ethically wrong. I couldn't agree Dr. H more on the topic of personal beliefs...and I told him so myself. I left the room feeling quite refreshed - finally someone else in the health care field with the same beliefs.
And finally...one more humorous story
Escape to the Titty Bar!
One day about two years ago, Mr. Hornypants disappeared from the nursing home. The nurses and staff searched everywhere for him. He was no where to be found. As they were getting ready to call the police, a Dom member informed the staff he saw Mr. Hornypants get on the local bus and leave. When the driver of the bus was tracked down, it was discovered that he had dropped the patient off at a local "establishment." When a team of health care providers arrived at the local titty bar they found Mr. Hornypants sitting outside the door waiting for the place to open...the kicker - he had a sombrero on his head so he would not be recognized!! HA!
