2 code blues this morning.
Another eventful patient I have been following is Mrs.G. A 40-something-yo with no PMH who also has no health insurance and barely speaks English. Shes really sweet and has a very bad case of gallstone pancreatitis. well, this lil lady has been in the hospital for about a 5 days now and had a lap chole to remove her gallbladder. everyday i come in in the morning and say out loud "Mrs G is still here??" she should have gone home a long time ago but her laps just werent right and then surgery didnt want to sign off. after being on a constant drip of dilaudid for her entire hospital stay, I am convinced that we have gotten her addicted at this point. sending her home on vicodin will be interesting.
ps its Saturday December 31st and I had to come in to work at 6am for a half day. lame. at least we get new years day off.
