OH BY THE WAY

STAY SAFE FROM COVID EVERYONE

an experience i wanna share working in a private hospital

we have (read; had, since his decided to leave today, after refusing blood extraction from me) a covid positive patient

and the first time i saw him, his room was cleanish

after 2-3 days, his IV line was removed by accident while he was moving around, and he bled (or his IV bled?, im not really aware of how IV lines works) staining the floor

to which i asked, and that is how i learned of why the floor was dirty (of blood stains), my initial thought was he was coughing up blood, but that proved wrong 

so after another 2-3 days or so, i start smelling something foul on his room, im double-masking, mind you, (doesn't protect as much as n95 masks, but its better than no protection)

after another 2-3 days, i start to smell something really foul in his room, and i am, again, PPE'ed up

and today, he had an extraction for Na/K/other chem tests, to which he said he wanted it "held off", and so i had him sign the back of the paper about his refusal to be extracted, he agreed to with no problems, after which i informed the nurses of his refusal, so they wouldn't look for results on the laboratory

his a great guy that didn't deserve this treatment, his paying for a private room after all, so why would the social cleaners not clean his room at the very least

most likely due to the fear of catching covid19, is the answer

funnily enough, even nurses didn't know he planned on leaving the hospital to a different hospital

why you ask?

couse nurses are somewhat avoiding him too, i know some of the nurses dont avoid him, but some nurses are still scared of even entering his room

so with all that said

as the way i always talk to my mom,

remember to wash hands, wear face mask, and KETCHUP

yes, i always add a random word when saying farewell to her, bite me, its my way of joking around
