Demoralised.

Question: Why is it that a boy who looked clinically sick can be a 9 case because his vitals were still stable, but a boy who looked clinically well must be a resus case because his BP was just 2mmHg lower than what its supposed to be?


I'm talking abt these 2 brothers who came in complaining of vomiting and was dehydrated. I seriously thought they can be seen just as 9 cases. But its ok. I'll admit its my mistake and learn from it. Next time I'll just put everyone in the resus room. :)


Yesterday was just not my day. Perhaps I saw things I shouldn't be seeing, and subsequent events to it were totally inane. This bitch came in with her son-of-a-bitch (literally) having a lacerated back of the ear. Went all the way to the waiting area without being triaged or registered. So I got approached by her and nicely brought her to triage to examine her SOAB. There she began to bombard me with a million questions like "Why do I have to go through all these?" "This is an EMERGENCY right?" "Can I see the doctor NOW?". I really felt like giving her two tight slap STAT!

See, your child was jumping about, though sitting on a wheelchair. And pardon me for asking, but does your child walk with his ears? U mean your child couldn't walk because he had a laceration behind his ear? Why deprive other kids from having a chance to sit on a wheelchair when they need it more than that silly son of yours playing on that wheelchair? AND YOU CALL THIS AN EMERGENCY?! So what if you have money to pay? Its not about the money my dear bitch. This is an emergency department and YOU DON'T CHOOSE DOCTORS!!! Which part of my lousy english did you not understand that you have to go in to the nurses' station and shout at my colleague, telling that poor girl it was WRONG OF ME TO SAY YOU CANNOT CHOOSE A DOCTOR! And I'm telling you again that your child wasn't a real emergency case because the bleeding has stopped and your f-ing son was playing on that wheelchair and YOU CANNOT CHOOSE A DOCTOR IN AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT!!!!!!!


Okays. Something else to make myself feel better.
Have you ever been approached by some strangers along the street telling you they're from some modeling agency and they're looking for some new faces crap thing? Well I thought they disappeared for quite some time cos ppl were complaining about it n stuff. So as I was on my way to work yesterday, this C-H-I-N-A girl came and talked to me. I thought she was gona ask me for directions or smth. Then she began yakking and gosh, out of the 10 sentences she said I didn't even understand half a sentence. Until she brought her card out and I read it was some modeling agency then I came to realise what I was in for. So I quickly rejected her and walked off. Haa. Though they may be out to con ppl, but makes you feel good in a sense. :)
