last call of 1st month
post call- just slept for a couple hours. always like to wake up before the sun dips down so i wont go two full days without the sun.
i took a walk and am back at the library. still no net access.
there is something about standing over a woman and compressing her chest wall repeatedly for 1/2 hour that drains you. I think i got drained because she ended up dying. her eyes were so hit you in the belly fish like. i didnt look much.
At 2 am when you hear the Code BLUE 5 EAST ICU. CODE BLUE 5 EAST ICU your blood starts galloping and running down the hallways you start to feel like a somewhat superhero that could bring back somebody like now. and i stood over that body and cracked some ribs and you could hear them crack(but that is normal)and after shocking her a few times and getting a pulse and losing it and after some electrical activity and losing it I walked back to the CCU feeling like an unincredible zero. it was a bummer. but process process process- there is a time to die and i don't like compressing somebody who will code again tomorrow and the next day. but this woman was supposedly the most alert in the ICU 5 minutes before. confused but alert.
anyway... gonna walk back home. tomorrow is the last day of my CCU month. i have weekends off now on med clinic.
took the fam out for dinner friday. it ate 1/2 my first pay check. 10 dollar martinis that people were downing...ouch:) it was fun though.. a sheeshy indian restaurant...
gotta go this comp is gonna boot me,
