He came back in and soon became unresponsive. RN from the big city said, "Looks to me like he's strung out." A tox screen confirmed her hunch. He had gone out and used the IV I started to shoot up! Needless to say his smoking pass was cancelled. <br /><br />This VA hospital sounds more like a nursing home. <br />Susan Petersoneulogoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307036781446427993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-42575898001764749792012-05-16T12:39:50.175-04:002012-05-16T12:39:50.175-04:00I L O V E the Veteran patients I am privileged...I L O V E the Veteran patients I am privileged to see. <br /><br />Folks, this is missionary work!<br /><br />What a delight.

Only a check cashing joint that gets held up every so often. The sounds of the symphony on one day, the 'hood and gunfire on another.<br /><br />Thank goodness I'm off-site in a clinic/rehab. The worst we get is a skunk in the building or a stray deer on the parking lot.<br /><br />Although, we have had patients on pass, just so happen into a strip club on their way back and come back "slightly inebriated" doing donuts in their wheelchairs in the parking lot.<br /><br />Crazy a&%ed Marines.RehabRNhttp://rehabrn.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-23604884428409093322012-05-14T12:34:49.446-04:002012-05-14T12:34:49.446-04:00Priceless, priceless!Priceless, priceless!Calhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17204635978443190089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-57787729559886634402012-05-13T23:30:54.440-04:002012-05-13T23:30:54.440-04:00Wheeled the old bugger over to get his bag emptied...Wheeled the old bugger over to get his bag emptied and then wheeled him back to the club?

The club actually has the name of a different cat nowadays but the scenario is still quite similar. On the Med-Surg floor, the patients will disappear for a little while and come back after having gotten a drink or two and some lipstick on thier necks... no shit. It's especially problematic with the guy who gets admitted on Friday for "detox" but disappears a couple times over the weekend and never really seems to need that ativan we've got ready for his impending DT's. Then on monday, he signs himself out AMA.

I'm wondering if I've made a mistake avoiding the VA entirely this year... maybe I should do psych there next block.Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635808302306218421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-77165812161656157042012-05-13T12:08:19.975-04:002012-05-13T12:08:19.975-04:00Groooooooan!Groooooooan!bobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14353836074794786357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-85628016703867580962012-05-13T11:55:54.519-04:002012-05-13T11:55:54.519-04:00Semper fi, mofo!Semper fi, mofo!Officer Cynicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04193271958353271282noreply@blogger.com
