haha zengo this is dedicated to you.
I MUST COMPLAIN!!! about this horrible HORRIBLE nurse that i encountered today. dujon was kind enough to give me his after theatre slot so i rushed up .. well not really, i had coffee with grace first.. THEN i rushed up to the theatre to sign my name in the god-forsaken blue book.
About the book
Most STUPID idea on the face of the planet. we have to write down our name in the book before we go to theatre so that the theatre staff can control the flow of medical students in and out of theatre. as if the green caps we are wearing are not just screaming out “I’M A MEDICAL STUDENT” compared with the blue that the staff wears. PFFT. so anyway we supposedly have to have our names there in advance.. at least a day I reckon..
back to my story
So I rush up to theatre, quickly jot my name down in the book for today’s list and then sign on the time in sheet (another human traffic control for visitors.. once again. this might make more sense in terms of fire safety and stuff, but then people waltz in and out of the operating theatre like no one’s business, which returns me to my argument, GREEN HATS.. HELLO?!) and while i was doing all this flurry of activity of signing, there was this nurse standing next to me. and when i was signing in the time in sheet, she was looking at that blue book, and was like, “did you sign here?” and i said yes… and she said there’s already a student rostered for today, upon which i nicely explained to her that he offered his shift to me just a while ago, which is why i went up to theatre.
THEN
she started this tirade against me about how i can’t just sign in and walk in and that i didn’t acknowledge her presence there by introducing myself to her and insinuated that i was lacking common courtesy. and in my mind i was thinking, how the heck was i supposed to know that you were the theatre staff in charge and secondly, i don’t need this kind of rotten attitude from you. being a student is difficult enough already, and she’s just trying to make my life difficult. and i stood there saying that i was sorry and that i didn’t realise and she was muttering under her breath about something probably related to me and i was thinking, omg you’re giving me crap for being enthusiastic?! and when i was about to dash off into the change room to change to my scrubs, she called out to me and asked, “IRIS! did you gain consent from the patient for being in during the operation?” and the way she said it made me feel like a dolt. =.= and i said i wanted to change first but she made me go back and ask the patient and i was thinking that this woman was probably revelling in that control she had over me. [fill in angry word]
OOH so angry. :( but at least tom let me be first assistant today :) ooh but that woman really made me angry. SO ANGRY :( :(
AND.. i got a parking ticket todayyyy!!! -wails-
oh dear woman! sounds like a really terrible nurse you have there :s maybe she was just bullied by somebody else and needed somebody to assert authority over :s horridz whatsoever.
