I never realized how foolish people generally are with regard to their health care. It's fucking ridiculous! I've been a nurse for 8 years. Spent about 5 years doing med/surg and yes, you get your brunt of the stupids. Been doing ICU for 3.5 years and same story. But since transferring to ER two months ago, I've encountered such asswipes that I'm in near-constant amazement.
People who have major illnesses just can't seem to remember what their disease is called. People two take two dozen different meds don't have a list either in their wallet or at home. Folks will come in complaining about a fever but they haven't taken any tylenol or motrin to resolve the problem.
It's so damn frustrating. Short blog but I have extended frustration. Sleep is the answer.
