DURING SEVERAL MEDICAL EMERGENCIES I HAD LAST WEEK I AM GRATEFUL FOR:
- THE FIRST NURSE ASSISTING ME WHILE I WAS NOT AWARE PUTTING IN A SPECIAL BUTTERFLY NEEDLE FOR MY IV IN MY ARM: THESE ARE UNCOMMON AND MAINLY USED FOR PEDIATRIC, CANCER, OR GERIATRIC PATIENTS DUE TO DIFFICULT PAINFUL IV ACCESS WHICH I HAVE, SO NOW I ADDED TO DO THIS IF POSSIBLE IN MY NEW EMERGENCY MEDICAL IDENTIFICATION BADGE CLIP AND INFORMATION SHEET
- THE SCAN TECH WHO WAS AN ANGEL THAT HELPED ME, WHO FOUND MY OTHER HOSPITAL BRACELET AND PRESSED IT INTO MY HAND: I STARTED CRYING ASKING HIM TO PLEASE HELP ME BECAUSE I KEEP EVERY SINGLE ONE FOR MY JOURNEY AND IT MEANS A LOT TO ME: A NURSE WAS LAUGHING AT THIS UNTIL I TOLD HER WHY
- THE NURSE WHO WAS ONE OF THE FEW WHO TREATED ME DECENTLY, WHO APPARENTLY GOT ME OFF THE FLOOR WITH THE SEVERE BLEEDING FROM MY NOSE AND THE SEIZURE AND CARRIED ME TO THE BED BY HERSELF WHEN THEY CALLED RAPID RESPONSE AGAIN FOR ME
- EVERY KIND HOSPITAL PROFESSIONAL OR WORKER AND MY NEW DOCTORS WHO ARE COMMITTED TO DOING ALL THEY CAN TO TRY TO HELP ME IN THE MIDST OF SOME TRAUMATIC HORRIBLE ONES
- EVERY FIRST RESPONDER: I WAS ONLY PARTIALLY AWARE FOR THE FIRST AMBULANCE TRIP DUE TO SO MUCH PAIN AND TROUBLE BREATHING: I COULD BARELY HEAR TWO VOICES NOT ABLE TO TELL FROM WHO OR WHERE THEY WERE COMING FROM BUT LATER FOUND OUT IT WAS THE PARAMEDIC AND A FIREFIGHTER OR EMT TRYING TO HELP ME
