I’m pretty good in a medical emergency. 43 years of experience helps somewhat I guess. Today I had to deal with someone who apparently overdosed on antidepressants which necessitated an admission to the ER.
A calm head and a no challenge attitude is vital here.
Someone has to take charge, direct the action and and give the right degree of support, think of Colour Sergeant Bourne ( Nigel Bruce) from Zulu crossed with Dr Lazarus ( Frances Sternhagen ) from Outland
Firm fair and humorous.
And never EVER look worried
I was supposed to go to the cinema tonight but got home too late
I ended up sharing a scotch egg with Mary in front of the fire
After the day's work, supper with Mary in front of the fire sounds perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt was
DeleteExperience and a cool head. Shame you missed your cinema trip, but sharing a Scotch egg with Mary, in front of the fire sounds pretty good to me. xx
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh. She was deeply asleep and all it took was 4 seconds for a quarter of scotch egg to bring her round lol
DeleteHaha! There's life in the old girl yet! xx
DeleteI had a nurse like that when I went into the ER with AFib several years back. I never felt afraid.
ReplyDeleteThat’s the idea..dispel fear , number one !
DeleteToday was that patient's or client's lucky day to have you in charge of the situation. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI think it will prove to be useful to have my background
DeleteA day in the life of JG.
ReplyDeleteCool, calm and collected. You are the person I want by my side in a crisis.
Nice work JG.
The scotch egg with Mary sounds perfect. Sweet Mary.
It wasn’t the day I wanted for sure
DeleteI could hear Colour Sergeant Bourne’s voice when I read this. (One of my favourite movies) Somebody was very lucky to have you on hand to take charge of the situation. I did chuckle about Mary and the scotch egg. A warm fire and a scotch egg sounds perfect! Jean in Winnipeg.

DeleteRight time, right place, & perfect ending! Hugs to you both. WI Dee
