Finally after a week of non-stop evening duty its my off.. Its not that I don’t usually work seven days straight but this week was so tiring cause it’s the holy month and the busiest for the hospital.. with all the RTA’s left and right so non-stop admission. Just after one patient is extubated they are then immediately shifted to the wards and as expected one RTA is already waiting to be admitted..And as if there is never ending supply of RTA patients, we get calls from ER placing their reservation for any vacant beds. And mind you they are all so young age ranges from 17-25. And they usually get admitted early am..
And at their young ages their lives get wasted some are able to GRADUATE (as we address em’) from ICU but some are not as lucky. Relatives all lined up to comfort the parents, fathers try to hide their anguish, & the mothers weeping under that thick black veil covering their faces..So sad it seem but like a cycle my question is why it doesn’t stop?Are they not learning from one another and as if there is a pattern to it..
That’s life! As they say but if only they could learn from each others experiences then at least these cases census will be lessened. And only if they value their life a bit more than they actually do. When these kids or shall i say young adults are on the road they’re driving like crazy, not minding if they hit something or they get hit. Sometimes seeing them on the road i cant help but think oopppsss be careful you might be another RTA census of kfhu!
They never really learn!
