medical, pain, IV
The first attempt to get me on an IV (using an echo) was a disaster. Minutes of intense pain, they couldn't get it in, the anesthetic (applied by another nurse) was not applied correctly or sufficiently. Everyone was rushed and I told them to try again later after I did the anesthetic myself.
Second attempt was perfect. 30 seconds and it was in, I literally felt nothing. No stress, no drama, no echo, just eyeballing, done. Nurse slightly confused that I felt *literally nothing whatsoever*.
And what have we learned today: medical staff continues to be super unfamiliar with this anesthetic and how it works and I need to be more stubborn in applying and preparing it myself.
medical, pain, IV
(I knew it wasn't supposed to be so painful because of the IV that I got in the ICU 1.5 years ago, which was also perfect)
hospital, positive, neurospicy
@joepie91 ik moet ineens denken aan die film of misschien serie die begint met iemand die de operatiekamer ingereden wordt, en de verpleegkundige die tegen de patiënt zegt "u moet nu écht uw telefoon wegleggen".
Welke was dat ookalweer? 🤔
hospital, positive, neurospicy
Just chatted to a nurse for a while, they apparently are also neurospicy, and I guess we kind of did some ad-hoc consensus-building on ways to improve medical interactions and reduce the chances of conflict? With plenty of informative tangents on hospital policies and org charts and even IT.
