I'm back. Did you miss me?

I have been living in hospitals since this time last week. My dad went to the cardiologist a week ago today, which evolved into a stress test, a heart cath, and then bypass surgery.

Then, when hubby returned to work, they were having a live burn and in the VS before the event, they found that he was hypertensive. He went to the hospital to rule out MI when he had chest pain associated with that.

2 hospitals, 2 hours apart. Yuck.

They are both home now, and hubby did rule out, the cardiologist blamed it on stress after he passed a stress echo. It has been a stressful week.

Welcome back, glad to her everyone is alright!

Seconded!

On another note. Gave a guy narcan yesterday, we fixed his breathing, ED ended up giving more to wake him :wacko:

I just happened to have a flush in my hand as I had just finished starting and flushing a second line for the nurse before we left and he looked at me, cussed me out and said, "Now I'm not going to be able to get high!"

Went from a warm fuzzy feeling of being able to prevent someone else from dealing with what I have been going through from losing a friend to a heroine OD to feeling like all I did was delay the inevitable for one more day :glare:

On a brighter note, I get tomorrow off! First day in 15 days :)

Speaking of narcotic overdoses, my dad ran his dilaudid PCA through the roof, and stacked it up with oxycodone and vicodin when his pain was out of control. Yep- he was out cold. It was pretty cute the random mumbling he was doing when he was stoned.

I was impressed with the tiny, tiny increments they gave him to get him awake again. 0.2 mg in slow little pushes.

He sobbed like a baby when he woke up. Time on spent on bypass just wrecks your emotional state.

It was kind of sad that so few folk turned up for the Mmiz's 'Holiday Chat' in the chatroom tonight.
Last year from memory, there were 30+ people there.
What gives you lot..it can't be that scary to say hi and meet the other members on the site????
P.S. Thanks Mmiz and Firetender was nice to talk to you!:)

Another thought I had.

I didn't see anything about it, but I have also been really busy so I haven't been paying much attention.

I missed it when I was on a call from hell. 31y/o psych pt that weighed 567lb. Going back to a nursing home.

Had that UTI smellx1000 and oozing from sores everywhere. When she walked she left a trail of skin, puss and bandages.

We took turns leaving the room when she wasnt looking to gag. I couldn't take it.

I was sleeping cause I was pretty tired from work,, but had I known (didn't know), I probably would've gotten on. We used to have a little gang inside of the chatroom, but it's transitioned to Facebook, lol.

Gah you blew it! Now everyone is going to want to get in on the facebook gang!

;)

I was totally wrong on the mental image I had depicted of everyone when I saw them, except for Fast, I knew he looked like a kid, but that's cause he told me :rofl:

Sorry fast, had to say it :)

We had an ambulance from a different company run thru a crime scene of a fatal accident. They were going code 3 in their CCT rig. Let's just say things aren't gonna be good for that EMT.
