I must say that I hate to be a liar. I know I promised more jail stories. I think the next story, for me was the worst. I had hidden it from EVERYONE, and will come clean soon.
It is just some really hard stuff. I am not ready to do it today. I can't even arrange my thoughts. My brain is a bit of a mess.
On a better note work was awesome today.
I felt so selfish yesterday. I wanted to get my required 100 successful stick in. I thought the best place to accomplish that was the ER. I was so consumed on just, getting the job done, I forgot my humanity. I am ashamed for that.
A woman about 80 came into the ER. She had had a stroke. I went into her room to draw blood...she had just returned form a CT scan. The news was not good. The Dr. asked me to step out of the room. The doctor then told me they would not need any blood drawn. I might be a newbie, but I know what that means. It means, don't bother...she is gonna die...and not too far from now.
They were married for 56 years. The husband was by her bedside....tears streaming. Her son was trying to console his father. Within the next hour all of the family came. Children, grand children, great-grand children.
My hospital brings in a tray of food, and drinks for the loved ones of dying family members. We call it the "death tray".
So weird, amazing, and emotional. Last week I saw a baby being delivered via emergency-c-section...Yesterday I witnessed a woman take her last breaths.
