Gotta work on discharges. Nothing new there.
Had another day where lunch didn’t happen until 4:15. Busy day with involved appointments. Did I thing I’ve been trying to avoid: fell in love with a patient and her family. One of my classmates, who is one of the sweetest people I know, keeps ending up with patients that are wonderful with equally wonderful owners and ends up having to give them horrible news. It’s her curse. I generally like my patients and and treat them with kindness and compassion, but I try not to get attached to maintain emotional sanity. With this patient, it was a love at first sight kind of thing. I could just tell she’s wonderful despite how crappy she feels and got instant good vibes from her owner. Like, I want to hypothetically invite my patient and her family over for Thanksgiving I like them so much, which is bizarre for me as I do not take to people very often or very quickly. She’s hospitalized in the ICU overnight and we got some test results back that aren’t sad, so things are looking good so far. Please send some good vibes her way. She’s been through a lot.
Need to work on discharges. Need to wake up extra early to take care of her in ICU. Why is it already so late and where does the time go?
