Insane things from work this friday:

man came into ED for the first time since 2023 and his blood results made it look like he was on the verge of death. I was the first one to see this bc I was running the machines and I nearly shat myself. The only clinical notes was that he was feeling unwell so they gave him standard tests. I was losing my mind for 30 minutes until we heard back that he was on CHEMOTHERAPY and the doctors thought it wasn't important to tell us

someone had a blood parasite that looked like they had a worm in their blood. scary!

just as I was leaving a two year old's bloods came in . they were bit by a snake and envenomated!!

Honourable mention bc it's not in my department:

ED sent a urine cup(no urine just the cup) containing a bunch of maggots to microbiology. they were like what are we supposed to do . they're maggots???? Not even a test requested, ED was like Heyyyy here's a patient's maggots <3 OKAY????

weird side effect or like positive effect?? of my new med: i no longer have anxiety?????? like that shit is GONE. i went from being a sad shaking chihuahua to like a dumb golden retriever with no sense of danger. my moods have also finally mostly leveled out and i am no longer crazy and irritable. also losing my appetite?? ALSO ive got fucking acne now what the fuck bro. also my newfound poor bladder control seems to be over as quickly as it started thank god bc i am not going thru that again 😭😭

i'm having my medications changed tomorrow.

i'm no-longer taking my zoloft (sertraline), because it has stopped working for me emotionally, all it's been doing is giving me major insomnia. to the doctor who prescribed me this bullshit, i hate you. but thanks for not putting me on xanax.

man now I’m skeptical of every psychiatrist in this area like someone had to have put it in that doctor’s head that adhd folk do better talking to people than on medication

on one hand actually going to a psychiatrist will increase my chances of actually talking to someone who is sympathetic to like. my entire life’s existence. but on the other I might get someone who thinks because they specialize in ADHD they know more about how I feel than I do and try and change how I manage adhd

the worst part about not taking my medicine is that I've been awake for four hours and I'm about ready to fall asleep again
