Last night in the ER:
Tried to speak in Mandarin/Cantonese for an hour to take a patient's history (non-medical).
Went back sometime later to explain to the patient in Cantonese that she shouldn't be taking any medications the doctors/nurses have not allowed them to take.
Old people coming in. Old people ass. Chest pain. Central lines. Mmm.
Pot luck was held to celebrate a nurse's birthday. White girl, with a Chinese husband. Good food/dinner at midnight. Gumbo, cupcakes, cake (ew), chips, pita chips, hummus, chicken pesto salad, iced tea, fruit salad,
Russian couple same in, man probably had an attack. Heart or brain, I don't know. They just kept arguing the whole time while the doctors stood there stumped because they could not speak Russian.
Steam pipe burst outside the ER. Fire alarm went off INSIDE the ER. Everyone kept doing what they were doing.
While eating potluck, I heard so much gossip about things going on in the hospital. Medical errors, anal supervisors. I always end up knowing too much about things I don't want to know about...
