12th February (Thursday) - Today is one heck of a day. Let's just say from morning til night, we were all basically running up and down. Something is sure screwy and yep, full house due to everyone is rushing for op today, and profs are all popping out like crazy. One left, and another take his place, another one left and another one takes over. It's almost like whack-a-mole, minus the pico pico hammer.
Everyone likes to tease that my aunty is back. Well, it's mainly because I'm the only person willing to entertain her and she liked me enough that she's willing to co-operate with me. Let's just say she's eccentric. And I have to insert a CBD tube into her since no matter how many times we instructed her to measure urine, she never does, and because now her condition seems to be getting worse compare to how I previously met her. No one was willing to insert for her since she kept making a lot of noise, so when they handed me the job, I just take it and go okay, bobbing like Tweety Bird. Of course, she was making a lot of noise when I try to insert it for her, it took me 10 minutes to convince her, and she's still not happy, so I asked the daughter to please, please come in and talk to her, which she did by sweet-talking to her saying that the tube is only for one day. Once the sweet-talking was done, another challenge began. I asked the lady to lie flat, but she kept sitting up. And when I finally convinced her to lie down, she kept closing her legs. Urgh, how am I going to insert the tube into the the right hole? I've seen unpleasant experiences where ladies were screaming their head off because of the tube going into the wrong hole. So when the lady made noise asking me to do it in one go, I sighed and said okay. Where on earth did all my confidence came from? I do not know. Honestly, I don't.
So then I did fast, ripping each sterile packet smoothly, dropping it into my sterile field in a seamless movement, saline into the plastic gallipot, All the while she kept yelling at me to be fast, I re-assured her and just did what I could, then when all are ready, I asked her to spread her legs and always after a few minutes, she refuses. After much coaxing, I brought the dish over, ready for the big one. Once again, after a lot of re-assurance, I managed, miraculously, to insert one shot into her. YES. I know, miracle. Inflate the balloon and gave it a gentle tug and yay, it's in. What a relief. The lady went as far to ask my handphone number (her family tricked her saying they got my number) and when she knew I'm on noon shift, asked me to sleep with her by providing the sleeping mat that her family uses. EH, erm, no thanks. ^^
