{..::Topic::..}: Why must some patients be such asses...

Ever wonder why some people are just complete asses? I had that thought today, as did the other 4 techs working with me. Last patient of the day, fine whatever. Of course it has to be a patient that some infectious disease. Rush, rush, rush to cover certain things in the room, get all dolled up (gowns, masks, gloves, the whole shebang). Trying to co-ordinate all the people was so much fun, because you need the "dirty" and the "clean" techs. It's all good, but annoying at times. Any ways, we're taking the pictures and sending them through the processor. Fine and dandy, right?

Wrong!! No one was really checking if our films were coming out, until after do all the pictures. Plus this patient is a complete asshole, hence the topic. This whole time he's making accusations, touching everything, just totally off the wall. All of his IVs were twisted and stuff so he wasn't able to give himself a shot of morphine, so that just made him insane. Complaining about everything. Sure I don't blame him to a certain point. If I were him I'd be a little mad, but he was telling us we were doing it on purpose and all this crazy stuff. That we didn't care, or didn't know what we were doing. No reasoning with him, that's for sure. By the time we finally got all the film out of the processor (turns out no films were coming out...what a shock, the processor not working), we were all feeling like two inches tall. I swear some people just can not be patient. I've been there, I've been that patient in lots of pain, but I'd never treat them like that. It wasn't our fault the processor was eating our films. But no explaining to him....seesh. Just a total prick. So then came the 10 minute clean of the room or remove all the possible contamination from him. You'd have be there to totally understand, it's just sometimes people are rude, inconsiderate jerks. We're there to help them get the appropriate care they need and they think we're just out to get them. He wasn't even that terribly old. Maybe mid forties or a bit older. Just grr... But I digress...

Today we had a pot-luck for out dark room guy, who because we're going to digital sort of lost his job. He's the sweetest old guy around though. Going to be sadly missed. He got another job, as a result. He's close to retiring as it is, so it would have been an awful shame if he lost his job so close to retiring. Just so sweet and caring. Since the first day we were there he was always making conversation and just one of those sweet guys. The lunch was really good, he really liked it, so that's all that matters.

Then I had some conversations with my teachers from last year. They had come to the lunch today, because before they were teachers they worked at this hospital. So had a nice chat with them. They were concerned about my health, so got to go into that whole spiel. Just reminds me of how many health problems I have at such a young age. Oh well, by the time I'm really old, I'll just have my own medical team, as I always say. HaH! No one thinks it's as funny as I do though. *shrug*

Oh so I watched the series finale of "My big fat obnxious finacee." Sort of a big let down in my opinion. I thought the last episode would have been way better. Instead it all mushy and stupid. Her family was so mentally challenged. Steve was the best part of that show, Randi always drove me nuts. I don't know, I just thought the ending sucked beyond belief. Could be the show changed in that last episode because the family went all awol half way through the episode. But I thought the reveal about him just being an actor would be better. Instead there was just a lot of hateful looks and stuff. Scary family. My family loves me but they'd never act like that crazy family. But now we can all rest at ease because they're closer and came to realise just how important they mean to eachother. Aww, excuse me while I reach for my vomit-bag. BARF!BARF!BARF!...

But I digress for the day for I am totally spent!
