Just a little joke in light of my meloncoly mood of late...
POSSIBLY THE VERY BEST CHICKEN JOKE EVER
A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is leaning against the headboard smoking a cigarette, with a satisfied smile on its face. The egg, looking a bit pissed off, grabs the sheet, rolls over, and says, "Well, I guess we finally answered THAT question.
If anyone needs it explained - read it a second time
Ciao, De ;)Thanks for being my friends and stopping by and giving me such kind supporting words...sorry I haven't been on your journals lately. Life will return to normal one day.
Hope everyone had a good New Years!
Speaking of work...Not a lot moves me these days in the ER I'm sad to say. But last night I had this 28 year old lady I started out having words with, and ended up not letting her see me cry. She was having a miscarriage and screaming her head off (and I don't mean moaning and groaning, I mean "It hurts" "I'm dying" "Somebody help me") at the top of her voice. I went in her room and gripped her out telling her she was not only disrupting the entire ER but was only making herself feel worse and that I would be back in a few minutes with some pain medicines. I know 90% of her behavior was anxiety, but someone had to get control as she was hysterical. At any rate, she completely miscarried in the ER an approximate 4 month fetus. I was moving her from the female exam room to another room and when she stood up the placenta and fetus was on the bed. I quickly covered it up but not before she saw it. She started crying and crying. I tried to reassure her and tell her it wasn't her fault, that this was God's way of taking care of the little ones who were too sick to make it being born. I started wheeling her out of the room and she started screaming again "My baby, my baby!" I just stopped, hugged her, and whispered in her ear "Let me and God take care of your baby." She just quietly sobbed after that. Once I got her settled in the other room I went back, picked up the fetus to put it in a specimen jar and send down to pathology and I just started crying and saying "I'm so sorry little baby. It's all better now, you don't feel any pain now." So, just every once in a while something happens in the ER and God reminds me that I do care.
Well on that note, I had better hop in the shower. Hope everyone is doing okay!
