Oh, how I love my job...

So I had to work tonight and well, never a dull moment in the hospital, but for once, the nut wasn't my patient. He was quite docile. His roommate, however, oh goodness!

I got up to the room just past 3:00 to find my patient being a good boy and not escaping while his roommate is moaning and groaning about his pain...between violent hiccups. EIGHT HOURS LATER when it was time to go home, he is STILL HICCUPPING! Now he can't just hiccup to himself, of course, that's not what pain-in-the-ass patients do. About every fifth hiccup, he yells that he has cronic hiccups, ya know, and someone should really help him. And then, due to his negative memory, he yells that he hasn't gotten any of his meds even though the nurse is in the process of leaving the room after giving him said meds. And oh yes, one more tidbit to make this guy even better, he was aiming for the little "pee jug" but missed and went aaaaaaall over the floor. Now Mr. Hiccups realizes he's peeing all over the place but does he stop?! NO! thus leaving a rather large and unpleasant puddle on the floor and his clothes all nice and wet.

And this, my friends, is why I want to work with children.
