Well,this proves the determination of my husband. He looked at this hole, and the ones in each of the other 2 bedrooms, figured out the tools he needed to fix them, and just did it. I really wonder how our renter made this hole in the hard wood flooring? Any ideas? There were boxes for air mattresses left in the house amongst all the rubble, so, it wasn't a bed, what else could it have been? It is still very disheartening to me. Is it really true that people just don't care any more? The have no pride in ownership or being self-sufficient anymore? That is really sad.
Work is ,unfortunately, just as depressing. I really dislike working in the downtown inner city hospital. People are different than they are in suburbia. They demand things instead of ask for them, they act as though they are entitled to demand them...like some how I owe them something. I am not saying everyone, but a larger majority than I see out in the suburbs. I took care of a guy who refused to leave the hospital, he was discharged and refused to leave...he stayed there an extra 3 days...at whose expense? ...he refused to call medicaid to appeal his discharge, he just refused to leave, he had demands before he left...everyday they were the same, he wanted to see each one of his doctors, though he had seen them or one of their partners the day before. He wanted his dialysis time changed, he wanted new medications, he wanted a different diet. But, he knows his patient rights....whatever dude. Why can't we demand he take care of himself, eat right and exercise, not do drugs or drink alcohol, take his medication and follow up with his doctors like he's supposed to? We ask him to ,but we still take care of him when he doesn't, we still allow him to come in to the hospital and get care even though he can't pay the bill. What has happened to taking care of yourself? Guess we've shown that you don't have to do that either, America will take care of you. And you don't have to be nice or ask politely or anything, we just have to do it...patient satisfaction you know.
Ok, I'm off my soap box...on a good note I might be able to make the move back to the hospital that is closer to me...they have a job available. I just have to convince my new boss that she should let me leave. That one's gonna take some thinking....
My orientee is close to being out on her own, I think she needs a little more time...they only get to be with us 2 days a week, the other day they spend in class. I thought they just got done with all that learning stuff...guess not. I will ask for another week for her but I'm sure the budget will rule the answer.
Until next time...non noc nocere.
