Just finished my round of nights and I say...
Nightmare, I swear, it's a nightmare.
Had to put up an incident report on the very first night, even before I took over the whole team entirely. Fortunately, my bosses are very understanding and did not say anything much, probably they think that I am just unlucky.
Second and third night are not any better, imagine trying hard to talk sense to someone who is not entirely confused and hoax the person back to somewhere we consider as safe. And, it is indeed a blessing that that guy did not fall down even though he climbed out of his bed twice in the night despite of the "trying to station in the room" the entire night; because occasionally we have to move off to attend to others and we just could not leave that guy alone for a single minute.
-Sigh-
And...
All the fight with restrainers and patients suddenly reminds me of a night in my previous company, the night when me and Tina are fighting with an intubated patient and was in the end rescued by KK who knocked the person out with Propofol; and another night with Naisah fighting with another dialysis patient who in the end, was rescued by Dr Maureen.
Did thought of calling the Drs but wonder what could they do as they cannot knocked the patient out as well, and we have decided not to restrain the person because he was kinda agitated.
At wits end.
So in the end, what we did was that we make sure he is within our visual field, and I ended up dragging my whole trolley of casesheeets with the "COW" (computer on wheels which is basically the laptop that stores all the vitals and charts of the patients) into the room to continue working while leaving my other cubicle to my junior and the other partner to look after.
Haiz.
Whatever it is, it's over at least, though kinda traumatizing still, and I am praying hard that my next round of night don't come so soon.
Give me time to recuperate first, at least.
56 more days to my long awaited leave, and I can't wait!
Arrgghhhh I need to go on leave soon before I turned crazy!
