Tidbits of Random Info

• When someone codes, is best to stay calm and in control.  Panic does no one any good.
• It will never get easier to tell a person's family that they have taken a turn for the worst.
• Open wounds can be found on ANY part of the body.  Yes, it is possible to pack a wound on a scrotum.  Yes, they can put wound vacs down there too.  Eeek!
• Charting--often the last task done, but the only that will cover your butt in a court of law
• It is impossible for some people to balance reality and religion.  
• HIPPA laws make it more difficult for me to do my job.  Thank you federal government.  I appreciate it.
• Poop often can be removed from a bed via suctioning.  When suction equipment is necessary,  you know it will be a not-so-fun night.
• Bathing people is best done in 3's with a 7 minute limit.  (Todd, Stef, and I can crank out some baths in no time).  
• Humor is the best coping mechanism.  How would we ever get through life without laughter?  Seriously!

Boredom

Due to the recent drop in patient census, the only adventure I can mention tonight involves sitting at home studying with a glass of wine in hand.  Sounds lovely, doesn't it?
