School starts Monday. Part of me is really looking forward to it, while the other parts are almost dreading it. I really just want to get done with school and move forward in this profession. It is just the process of doing so that feels like it is taking forever.
Last night at work there was a code blue on the floor. A man had been given dilaudid and a few minutes later when the nurse went to check on him, he was in respiratory and cardiac arrest. I called the code and went in to help clear the room, while the nurses assembled the Ambu bag and gathered things from the crash cart. After we had cleared the room I asked if there was a pulse or respirations, and was told no. As the nurses got the Ambu bag on the patient I started compressions. The code team arrived and we were quickly replaced as they worked to get a pulse and to get him breathing. The whole situation took maybe 15 minutes from the time he was found to the time he was transported to CCU on a vent, and was fairly surreal. The general consensus was that he wouldn't last too much longer. He was probably septic, and had multi-organ failure. I think it is more a question not of if, but when.
Emma's and my workouts have changed slightly. Patrick has started working with Emma on a regular basis, which she finds painful but I think it has been good for her to see another perspective on training. She has affectionately dubbed us Satan and Satan Jr. Although when saying it, there isn't too much affection that goes into it. She tells me that although Patrick and I are slightly different in our approaches to working with her, we are both really good at being patient and pushing her when we know she has it in her but backing down when we know she needs it. I think Patrick is looking for affirmation that his work outs are better than mine, but since he never worked out with Emma and I before, he really doesn't have anything but Emma's response to gauge that by. Emma, thinks both of us are equally intense and pushy.
I have found...crack. Computer game crack that is. Patrick introduced me to WOW (World of Warcraft) and I am really enjoying it. There has been this character who has been helping me out along the way. He's been really helpful but is pretty pushy and at times kind of a sarcastic ass. While I appreciate his help some of his comments are really annoying and even condescending. Especially considering that I have never played this before and have no real experience in exploring games like this. At least not in recent history. I may just tell him to leave me alone if he keeps it up...I may die a lot more, but at least I won't have to put up with his attitude.
Speaking of...time to get my crack on.
