That was my question this morning. Oh, why, oh, why do some people insist on being complete idiots?!
Psycho #1: The crazy patient who threatened everyone earlier in his stay was getting antsy when his pain meds were wearing off. So he asked for Tylenol. Which I didn't have an order for. Which required pulling (or finding) a doctor who was rounding willing to give me a verbal.
Got that, so all is good, right? Until...
Psycho #2: One of my coworkers made a mistake and started cleaning up one of my people. All this right after I had told him, "Go back to sleep and we'll get you cleaned up at 1030ish."
For some odd reason, the Slug decided she needed to yell at me and demand that I clean up another patient of mistaken employee. "No, I'm busy. (since I was still working on the order for Psycho #1 and I had my own other patient, in addition to med delivery). You're not the charge nurse. Go tell him/her if you have a problem." The Slug just kept getting in the way. Somehow, I managed to get everything done.
Psycho #3: The dreaded patient came in, and thankfully, left without issue. Said patient provokes PTSD in some of our nurses from the abuse on his/her last visit. Many people were really, really happy they didn't have to deal with that admission at this time.
To top it all off, we got the news that JC folks are on the prowl and should be visiting our hospital soon. If I wasn't having nightmares before, I'm sure they'll start now.
Less psychosis and more fun to come...stay tuned!
