Nurses who pull meds for all their patients at once.

Stop that. I’m waiting behind you for over 10 minutes trying to get meds for my one patient. Also you are going to make a med error with 6 different patients meds sitting in cups on your WOW. Stop this insanity.

Edit; ‘I’ll never make an error blah blah’ putting baggies in bin is asking for an error if you place a baggie in a wrong bin. ‘You don’t scan?’ Sure we do, one patient has almost identical pills to another except dosage, blister pack is 2 meds vs 1, the computer doesn’t recognize the second scan and you don’t catch it because you assume they’re all the right meds, patient now got double their dose of BP meds. All it takes is a pt refusing a med or it meeting a parameter to hold, you place that med down on your workstation - or in what you thought was the right pocket? get distracted by what ever the fuck, walk to the next room with your cup o’ meds and it gets lost in the mix, you pop it out with the rest. Patient just got a random med and you literally have no idea because it was to the side before but maybe got mixed up with everything else while you were scanning, explaining, trying to not get the patient to fall, and listening to the bed alarm go off in the next room over. Arrogance is a scary trait. If you don’t think you’re capable of a med error you’ve already done one without realizing.

Stage IV

Bloating is often unbearable. So painful and dysmorphic. It’s so hard for me to feel feminine, sexy, any confidence when my body looks like this constantly. I’m lucky I have a loving partner but there’s always an underlying insecurity that I’m not worth being loved. Clothes are intolerable. Recent MRI only showed 5.5 cm cyst which was 9 cm in October and surgically drained. Specialist saw the MRI over a month ago and haven’t reached out so doesn’t seem important to them. I have a follow up appointment in a month. This shit is just deeply infiltrated in my bowels, bladder, omentum, liver. Surgery showed that it would be very unlikely I could ever get pregnant. I don’t think I’m interested in IVF. Wondering if I should just ask them to take the whole uterus out to hopefully prevent further spread. Just venting.

Bike almost ended me

Don’t really know what happened. Tire exploded while I was riding on a trail, lucky I was able to keep control without falling off and I was close to a road because I had to wheel it on the back tire all the way there. Hadn’t hit anything. I think a piece may have fallen off that had something to do with the fender and somehow it got caught, folded, causing the inner tube to pop? The tire itself is fine. I accidentally backed over the bike last summer and thought I had gotten it all fixed up but maybe something was damaged that wasn’t caught.
