Pre-occupied and just a little poorly

by lizzie233 @ 2007-08-16 - 09:19:51

Had last week off work, just as week off wasn't ill then, luckily.  Spent the weekend with my sister on the Isle of Wight, eating all the wrong things, laughing a lot, staying up late and having whistle stop visits with her offspring.  So, almost needed a break to get over that one!  Back to work this Monday and it was worse than awful, talk about hit the ground running, it was no joke and communication seemed to be at an all time low.........I discovered a patient I had not been told about, who hadn't even been admitted and was due for surgery within minutes!!  Good job I do a little "tour of duty", meet 'n greet type at the beginning of the shift.  Anyway that's in the past now and since then I have obtained some sort of bug which started showing itself during the early shift on Tues.  Yesterday I just slept it off, no choice really was too weak to do much else, and today I feel a little better but nowhere near 100%, good job I have some days off.  Working over weekend.  Joy of joys no operating lists. 

My pre-occupation I'm afraid, and almost ashamed to say, has been with Facebook!!  Someone at work "forced" me to go on and of course I'm addicted.  Truly I must be one of the oldest on there but it just appeals to my extremely childish nature.  All good fun

A patient who wasn't there due to be operated on.....!!!!

That's got to be a worst practice nightmare. It's good that some good old good practice skills still persist.

Sprog is on Facebook so I won't muscle in there. Maybe you can give us your thoughts on it sometime.
