"i'll be home for Christmas" probably one of the most depressing songs for me right now seeing as I have to work and i won't be able to come down the stairs and my family be there with fruit bread that only my dad enjoys eating but my mom makes it every year just to make him happy and the Christmas music and the stockings full of gifts from the refrigerator.
okay pity party over....for now. i'll probably have another one in a week or so. ya'll are all invited.
lesson #2 about hospital/health care. I'd say about 90% of patients i get do not know what it means to be a DNR (do not resuscitate). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eIEeJfzs9o&feature=related this is a dry video but somewhat informative. (i don't know if i fully agree with everything said in the video but worth 1 min of ur time) fact: it has been said to ppl learning cpr "if your not breaking ribs you're not pressing hard enough" (not completely true but still its said) but doing chest compression on elderly with failing health is probably going to decrease their quality of life.
last night I have a doctor chew me out over the phone but after i had this patient who just wanted to tell me about how much he loves his wife and how he likes to treat people. he held my hand and was so sweet to me. so i had a random act of meanness followed by a random act of kindness. so they balanced out in a way.
this dog knows all about balance.
