Exciting Night

On Saturday evening at we work we got a call from the ICU and they said that they needed one of us to come up and put someone on dialysis. I volunteered and was told to be there at 1950h(7:50pm). So I showed up and just as I got ready to put the patients needles in he had a heart attack and started having increase trouble breathing. So I stepped aside and let the doctors and nurses put in special medications through a IV and then I got to watch them intubate the patient, it was really cool. Once the patient was intubated they said he was 'stable' enough to dialyze, so I hooked him up and went on my way back to my unit.

It was very cool seeing you at the hospital on Saturday, Kristy! I hope the rest of your shift was less 'eventful'.

Keep up the good work!
