It seems every one in the Medical Field is strapped, overworked,and struggling, they need our suppport and prayers as well. My daugher is pressuring me to go to the hospital and can't get it through her head that I'm just not that sick. If we weren't in the fight with COVID like we find ourselves in now, I'd have already been there. Tough times for all of us. I feel for the doctors and nurses and others who are stretched so thin right now.
No kidding. We talked about THAT too. Even all masked up with a face shield on you can see the exhaustion in their eyes. And I've seen WAY too many "Patient Karens" in my adventures. I want to go *****-slap them. It's a HOSPITAL ... Not a 5-star resort. **** ... Besides except for a couple of isolated incidents EVERY SINGLE person I've come in contact with has gone above and beyond their "official" duties to help me.
The EMSA employee who let me use his phone to let Grumpy know where they were transferring me to -- because the ER nurse said ... And I quote "That's not my job."
The doctors and nurses in the ER Department who understood that my probably kinda inappropriate joking around is a coping mechanism -- I'm really NOT crazy. Well ... Hmmm ... Okay ... Maybe I'm crazy just a little. Haha!
The prep nurse today who let Grumpy get a bunch of stuff off his chest. He wasn't her patient. She could have sent him out of the room. Instead she and I gave each other that "woman look" when men need a little extra attention -- don't start with me, YOU GUYS DO IT TOO!! LOL And just kept looking for a vein -- which BTW is a ***** to find when you are dehydrated and in pain. Third times a charm, though! Haha! When they were moving me to surgery and he was going back to the waiting room she said "He loves you an awful lot." I laughed and said "Every man on the planet loves the maid. He MISSES his maid!" Haha! She laughed and said "And I bet you love your chauffeur, huh?" Yep!! She "gets" us! Lmao!
I can give you a list as long as I am tall of examples like these two. I can only pray for the kind of patience, kindness and dedication these people have shown me when I was absolutely not able to take care of myself. I might have to admit that maybe there are more good people in the world than I thought.
