As continued from last week...
4. Patients who bring a book. We thank all of our patient patients who know that everything takes time and don't yell at us because the labs are slow or the x-rays aren't read. We really can't make these come back any faster. 5. All those who thank us and let us know that we helped them. It helps us keep going when we've been vomited on, spit on, and hit on all by the same patient. The ED Thanks You! The Emergency Department (ED) would like to thank the following groups of patients and caregivers for their contributions to the ED:
1. Patients and caregivers who bring lists. We know it's difficult to remember all 13 of your medications. Thank you for bringing a list! 2. Considerate patients. When you hear CODE BLUE overhead, you are the patients who ask us if we need to go. We are so grateful that you are willing to put other patients ahead of yourself. 3. Those who understand allergies. You are the ones who will clarify that you are not allergic to NSAIDs, but have kidney disease and aren't supposed to take them. Thank you! This way if you are having a heart attack, I know I can give you an aspirin which may really help your heart. But why?! Maybe because sheep are frail and need a flock? Or maybe it's because sheep are easily deceived by their past experiences? It couldn't be because sheep are stubborn and slow learners? Yeah...doesn't sound like us at all. But at least we keep our wool clean...  But why?! Maybe because sheep are self-serving, and don't know what's good for them? Or it's because sheep are vulnerable, and easily drawn away by food? It couldn't be because sheep need a Shepherd, could it? Yeah...doesn't sound like us at all. But at least we don't stink...most of the time.  |
