-okay so stuff did pick up a bit
-took this one dude three times in as many days. every system has a few "frequent flyers" and he is ours. poor guy.
-oh and shoutout to the provider who didn't want to give ativan to an alcoholic with the DTs because then "all the alcoholics will come to the ER asking for ativan when they run out of booze" a real class act yes much standard of care very compassion.
-so there are blood tubes and there are urine tubes and the urine tubes look exactly like blood tubes except a bit bigger and different colors and really, they just look like tubes for different kinds of blood tests, so like a good little amateur phlebotomist, I filled all the tubes with blood, and then the lab called with their collective underpants in a wad because they can't run their test, and I had to grovel a bit and promise to manage bodily fluids appropriately from now on. I'm a professional I swear.
-on the bright side I seem to have turned a corner with IVs. veins no longer explode if I look at them the wrong way. and no, it was not a lack of confidence, I was full on doing it wrong before, preceptors.
-this place still has an unacceptably low call volume. idk. I kind of want to start moonlighting somewhere so that I can get more patient contacts but I'd have to clear it with a bunch of ppl.
-I mean if nothing else I can rely on at least one person to call an ambulance almost every day......
