Really, it isn’t all fun and games…
…we do work in the hospital, we don’t just have sundowners all the time.
I’m happy to report that the patient with the pleural effusion that I tapped yesterday is doing quite well. In fact, our overall service is pretty stable right now. We only admitted on Monday this week, so things should be pretty light as the week continues. I’m also happy to say that a patient that I saw last week with severe cerebral edema who I gave mannitol is now talking and moving. I’m hopeful that with some physical therapy he’ll have a functional recovery. There are certainly a lot of frustrating things going on in the hospital here, but every now and then I do feel like I’m making a difference, which is all I can really hope for.
