the Sorceress....


When your craft is not the best in town you resort to a most sought after witchery there is!  If and when it is not working at all and you have patients that you just wish their whims and caprices, spelled as whining and complaints, will disappear – you resort to the most sought after sorcery!

My 2008T machine in the Clinic is the best Sorceress there is ---- well, next to me!  Because in my patient’s eyes they see me as a FAIRY!!!

They see me as fairy who has a magic wand that will make all their nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath, high blood pressure or even their blood sugar of 600 disappear with just one stroke of my magic wand! Dang! Yes! Just like Harry Potter raising his wand to go to another world via Platform 9 ¾!

Or they see the power of the great Sorceress 2008T that can do wonders within hours of their treatments.  They all became clingy to sorcery! 

Mr. O who defies proper treatment schedule called, he said he is too weak that he needed dialysis and that he was unable to control his blood sugar at 600.  We have instructed him to go to ER as they can help him more than waiting for a chair-chance in my Clinic.  It’s hard to deal with uncontrolled BS in the clinic owing to the fact that Mr. O is also a DM 1.  They will do all their power too to topple you down with “I will let my Doctor know about this, blah, blah”.  That’s what happens Mr. O when you don’t come in your scheduled time! There is no guarantee that I will always have a spot for you as there are other lives my Sorceress needs to save.

So he ended up in the hospital as instructed by his Doctor.
Should I just turn my Clinic to an Urgent Care?  Or an ER?
Or I think, I need to polish more my craft---- witchcraft! And with this crazy wand --- I will make them disappear! LOL!

I won't remember you....

I won’t remember you.  I never remember anything that hurts me.   Harsh huh!     Acknowledging the pain and feeling it is one way but the easiest way there is when you have pain is to suck it up and forget about it.   I did that.   Done that.   I learned to be cynical and stoical.   I never remember anything that hurts me.   When my father died, I only cried the day he was laid to rest.   I cried hard in 2013 when I left my mother in a hospital bed without all her senses and memories…and the day she died.   Crying helps.   Instead of avoiding our feelings, we can simply feel them and forget about it.   However, when events and circumstances overwhelm one to the point where they are an emotional wreck --- there’s always a medicine for it!   So, Mrs. M got her dose.   She passed away.   It was sad.   She was a happy soul.   Someone just hurt me.   I won’t remember you.   I never remember anything that hurts me .

nothing is more...

Nothing is more.... needless to say, it is. There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. So try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud. Maya Angelou G

Dialysis: damned if you do. dead if you don't!!!

  Pat is screaming “cramps! cramps! cramps!” Then the machine just went ballistic and gaga with all its might --- beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep… it didn’t stop until I got my butt off my freakin’ throne in the station. I tried to troubleshoot the machine at the same time alleviating pat’s pain. Muscle cramps are a common complication of hemodialysis treatments.   Patients may have it in their hands, calf, legs, toes but the worst is in the stomach.   It’s hard to help patient when they have stomach cramps as you cannot relieved it by shaking or massaging their tummies, funny. The machine didn’t stop beeping and the patient continued complaining. The machine is complaining now--- its chambers are clotting! Arghhhhh. When Pat moved her arm moved and so the fistula rolled. Restarted her treatment with new lines and stuck her again with new needles. I know that’s double jeopardy huh but we have to do what we needed to survive. Cr
