Craziest question I’ve ever bumped in my life… This patient was just transferred from ICU… I walked into his room, introduced myself, checked his v/s and then left his room… went back to his room and give him his snacks.. and then… He started to ask tons questions… I was like.. * wait a minute.. are you doing some investigations..? * Well.. Since our goal is patient’s satisfaction, I tried to answer all his questions..
He asked if I have a car.. I said “I don’t drive..” and then he said, “You can buy a cheap car with just 700 bucks.. If you need help, I can do mechanic stuffs”... Oh.. that is so nice of him..But I said I don’t drive..
He asked where I live.. If I’m living by myself… How long have I been working in the hospital.. Where I came from… and so on.. and then He asked, “Will you ever get taller…?” .. I was like.. “Im sorry.. what did you say..?” And then he asked again.. with matching action.. I was speechless for awhile.. I couldn’t helped it.. I laughed out really loud.. Then I answered him, “Oh how I wish I could…” … What does this person thinking…? Fine.. I’m really small.. As a filipina, standing 5′2″ is really not bad.. But does he really ever think of me as a 12year old kid.. Lost in the hospital.. and still looking forward for growth spurts..
Being flooded with questions, I really don’t wanna go back to his room again.. BUT.. and a BIG but.. I still need to take his v/s… Argghh.. He tend to keep me on his room for awhile.. He let me check his BP 6 times.. with and without shirt.. whatever.. I was about to step out of his room, and then he called again.. He asked, “Can I get you something for your birthday..?”.. Ahmn… I said, “Thanks.. I sure do appreciate it.. But you really don’t have to…” then he said, Think about it… Gosh.. He’s a character..
Too bad.. His heart monitor keeps on coming OFF and ON.. so I need to go back to his room and fix it.. And while fixing it, He asked... “Can I call you at home..?…” I answered him straightly.. “NO”… Then he said, “you’re mean.. “.. I answered “I know I’m mean.. But I’m sorry, you can’t call me..” That’s it.. I walked out of his room.. Gosh… He’s so creepy… and he’s crazy… He look older than my father…Argh…
Honestly, I really don’t wanna go back to his room.. I want the nurse to do everything for him.. But the thing is, the nurse is 3months pregnant.. He might do something bad to her.. and I really don’t want that to happen..
Well.. At exactly 7:00am.. while I’m giving report to the oncoming PCA, the Unit clerk asked me to put his heart monitor back on.. When I checked it..? It’s completely fine… Damn this person.. Does he really think I’m stupid…? Well.. I just told him.. “I know you did it on purpose.. What do you want..? “ And then he said.. Are you gonna check my v/s…? I just replied “Im sorry.. I’m going home now.. The other aide will come in here and check it.. So..you have a good day…” I thought I’m done with him.. Then he extended his hand.. then he said.. “It’s nice to meet you..” I’m glad I have my gloves on.. I just accepted it and said. “Same here”.. Then I walked out..
It is really not so nice to meet him.. I think he had history of mental problems.. He really doesn’t look normal for me.. and He really is creepy..
Well… He made my last day at work really bad… LAST DAY...? yup.. I’m on leave now.. yehey.. I won’t be back at work for 6weeks… Hmn… I’m preparing for my NCLEX.. But the thought of staying at home is so great for me.. lolz.. How I hate to work.. I’m lazy… But its okay.. I know I’m really lazy…
