We've all had them...the patient that just won't leave...every time you go into work you just hope they have gone home or to another floor or anywhere that you won't have to take care of them. It's not that they are a difficult patient or even really sick...maybe that's what irritates me. I like my patients to come in sick and go home better not linger in annoyanceville forever. Mine most recent one is still on the unit and I have had him everyday that I have worked now for 2 weeks straight. He has TGV(transposition of the great vessels of the heart) and he needs a transplant...the doc is trying to prove it by bringing him in and putting him on dobutamine, now he's dobutamine dependant. It's a fight with the insurance where to send him for the transplant...but he's not even on the list yet. Makes going to work just a little more annoying.
Had a great trip to Las Vegas...saw the new Palazzo and a great little place just off the strip called Tuscany.It's always changing, they are building a lot of new stuff. We followed our friends advice and took the southern route from Phoenix into Las Vegas. We got to go through little towns like Searchlight Nevada...plus we hit Arizona, California and Nevada...always a plus to hit as many states as possible in your travels. The ever present question...did we win...well, yeah we won some we lost some but, it didn't affect our financial standing so, it was a good trip. Still waiting to hit the big one...as always first do no harm.
