Full Moon

So I am sure if you work in health care you have heard the term... full moon means a crazy day at work...well that was today..no sooner I walked on the unit...the wolves were howling...Code Blue to start the day on patient that was about to go home...went in to fulminating respiratory distress...ok..get a grip...the day should only get better....although my thoughts were...why me...and how did this happen he was doing so well...wrong to think the day was going to get better....next thing was morning report with nurses when another nurse came in to say another patient was decompensating...uggghhh....thankfully he pulled out of it quickly with quick thinking on the medical teams approach and was stable within minutes...ok..now I can really get to my work...so things went well until mid morning ...attending calls...there maybe an admission with TB...great....but wait until the CT confirms this...so I keep my nose to the grind stone...met with family members on patient #2 that decompensated but now stable...then went on to my daily rounds...wow...things seem to be going better ...hopefully I can eat lunch and take my 30min daily walk...wrong ...phone call from Urgent Care....patient needs blood transfusion...defer to attending to make a decision....wait...does this patient have GI bleed. please check hemeoccult in Urgent Care... in the meantime I eat lunch at desk while working, checking labs and email...call from attending...the patient in urgent care doesn't have a GI bleed can you admit...sure why not...what else am I going to do today....the history and physical wasn't bad but I had to go through multiple records to figure out why this patient has had multiple blood transfusions in her life...nothing really noted in her PCP's notes...(what is a PCP for)....so after multiple phone calls, pages, knocks on my door and 3 hours later I finished the history and physical on this patient.....in the meantime I get a call from radiologist to tell me another patient definitely has osteomyelitis in 4th toe (5th toe was already amputated for this)...had to call podiatry to discuss plan of care then call his wife to give her options on plan of care....then I get a call from a pain doctor who decides to tell me 100 options of pain management on a patient with pancreatic cancer...then another call from a x wife of a patient who decides to run down a list of a 100 questions she wants to answer at 415 pm ...uggghhhh....so the day ended pretty much on time...came home to my hubby who was as tired as me and suggested dinner out...thank God!!!
