SuNsHiN3DaZzL3's blog: "tired of drama"

I am tired..and kind of in a mood.  Just call it PMS.  Anyways.. I worked today.  We had a patient who ended up..we had to put sign on the patients door for no visitors..unless checking with the nurses station. Well noone out there knew what to do or say.  It was over a personal matter.. of the patients family/ or friends taking advantage of him..and getting money from him.  Well.. the way I look at it.. thats not our job to really worry about. Its his choice..and if they are doing this stuff..and family is worried about it..then they should have taken care of the problem before he came to the hospital.  They act like they do not know how to get help though in cases like this.  We also get once in a while..these patients..who do not want people to know they are in the hospital..etc.  You can not tell people where they are..etc.  Well. it makes my life quite misserable..wondering wtf to tell people when they call or come to the desk.  I feel horrible lying to the people.  Fact is.. we are there to take care of the patients..not to interfere with there personal life. Unlessthey are getting abused.. I do not understand this crap. They are grown adults.  If they got issues with certain people ..and dont want to see them..well then freakin tell them when they come to visit.  Do not put others in the middle of it. Geez.

Enough of my griping over one of my pet peeves..of my lovely job!
