Guess who starts a new rotation tomorrow, in a different hospital. Guess who forgot it starts tomorrow, and not the day after tomorrow. Guess who left their stethoscope and stuff in their home hospital...

Pediatric ICU here I come. More or less prepared.

Just thinking about how Kim Whalen went from playing Becky Barnes, a kind pediatric nurse, to a literal eldritch deity in Cinderella’s Castle. And both are so her

I think part of the reason my anxiety is so bad about work is because this client and the lady there who hates me treats me in ways I have been treated in the past in toxic or abusive situation. She makes shit up and then says it so confidently and meanly that I start to question my reality. She gets everyone around her convinced that I’m the problem.

The main reason why this situation is BETTER is that part of my job is notating EVERYTHING that has happened so at this point, I have receipts that are protecting me for through the bullshit.

But still, new people are getting involved and it’s their first inclination to believe this woman and take her side and think that I’m the problem all because she’s just SO fucking confident when she lies. My boss has to sit there and show the newcomers my receipts because she thinks she can just BLATANTLY make shit up to anyone new and control the narrative that way.

I’m SO relieved that I no longer will be working with them after all of this bullshit but I HATE that there is a tinge of “oh they’re getting removed from this work because THEYRE the problem” to a lot of the new people involved and it crushes me a little. I shouldn’t care what they think but they’re my coworkers and they’re going to have to rely on me in other situations and I just hate that they might question their trust in me because of the way this woman spins reality so much.

My boss and so so many other people have seen it through this entire year and THEY KNOW the truth and I need to mentally remind myself that they’re doing this because they’re worried about me quitting because of the way I’ve been treated, not because I failed. Ugh, it still FEELS like a failure but I have to let that go.

every once and a while i remember the wing pregnancy plot and i vibrate with rage for a good minute. star wars revenge of the sith ass plot (derogatory). if she wanted to create drama around it, it shouldn’t have been the wings. it literally could have been anything but the wings. pregnancy is incredibly dangerous in general. elain could have had a vision of something going wrong. nyx simply could have been born prematurely due to the stress of feyre having to find out nesta was kidnapped and is stuck in a death tournament. or he could have just been premature. sometimes babies are. ugh.

if i could have one superpower i'd want to be fluent in every single language that exists on this planet... where i live has a high population of refugees and subsequently we get a lot of patients in the hospital who don't speak english, we have a really good medical interpreter service but i just wish i could speak every single language i want to be able to connect with the patients on that level it's so hard when there's a language barrier in a medical setting even when using an interpreter i'm afraid things are going to get lost in translation and i'm not going to be providing the best care i can because of it...

a lot of nurses and I presume other clinicians avoid going into pediatrics because they don’t want to deal with parents, under the assumption that parents are overprotective, spoil their kid to the point of harm, are too critical of our performance as healthcare workers and providers, and to some extent this happens. but those parents can be reasoned with and fundamentally have the same goals as you as the nurse—they want the kid to be happy and healthy and not in pain. they’re on your side!! they want the same things you do and you can collaborate with them!!

what’s way harder for me to engage with are parents who veer the opposite way, who get mad at their kids for crying and being scared, who don’t provide the emotional support and comfort that kids need when hospitalized.

hospitalization sucks and even older kids can easily regress a lot out of fear and a new environment, ir makes me feel awful when parents reflexively scold their children when I come into the room because like I understand if they’re scared and it’s normal and I want them to know that their parents are going to keep them safe and be there for them. it doesn’t work if you are getting upset with them for being upset, it just escalates things!

not actually sure, i do think he gets vamped at some point in his story. atm i think he's human, but still ~special in some way.

still have coffee and Beverages on the brain (which vampires can also enjoy because it's from a living plant). coffee is irl magic for everyone though, ha.

the gift shop and auxiliary services are run by little old ladies and helpful odd folk from the community, like in real life. they too are more likely to be strange and magical, so the cafe is run by like, coffee witches:P

not all witches are vampires, but undead medical arts and witchcraft are both herbal heavy so they overlap a lot, haha. vampires are nocturnal by nature but they're also just caffeine addicts.

jim's connection to the undead and magical world is probably somewhere through here. that stuff is probably not a huuuge secret, but most of the story is from the undead perspective anyway so this is a human-eye view (initially, at least).

though either way he could always be a witch for Halloween with the geck as his familiar!

Gosh your hospital AU is crazy sweet! Would you do another one? Just loved the idea and their dynamic!

Thena looks up from her charts, finding a protein bar wiggling its way into her view.

"Delivery for a Miss--no, Doctor Thena?"

Thena smiles, no matter how much she doesn't feel like it. Because Gil can always get her to smile, even after she's pulled an 18 hour shift to cover for absentee residents, handled some truly uncooperative patients and just wants to sleep face down on the floor.

"How you holdin' up?" he whispers, sitting himself next to her on the on-call bunk bed. He slips his hands back into his hoodie pockets as she accepts and unwraps the snack (white chocolate and cranberry: her favourite).

"Better now," she promises, sighing as she chews. She flaps around the paper copies of her charts that need signing off on, "I miss Ajak."

The nurse who did indeed keep things running smoothly had only gotten off shift an hour and a half ago.

"These are all done, though, right?" he guessed, peeking at them in her tight little fist. "You're just signing off on discharges?"

"Yeah," she sighed, sagging on the bed even heavier. "I'm just about done. Just this last little stretch always kills me."

"Yeah, last run is always the hardest," Gil sympathises, and she knows he knows exactly what they mean by it. He pulls the papers from her hand before she can abuse them further.

"How was your day?" Thena asks, although she pauses in her chewing just to yawn.

"Pretty quiet, actually," he smiles, although really he's making sure she finishes the whole protein bar. "Kingo spent most the run making tiktoks, so..."

Thena gulps down her bite and laughs. Gil feels at least a little bit better at hearing the magical sound.

"I know you're dying to get home, but maybe a little power nap wouldn't hurt before you get behind the wheel of any sort of vehicle."

"I know, I know," she groans, taking another bite of power bar as he takes her stethoscope from around her neck and even pulls out her ponytail for her. She moans even louder as he massages her head, relieving the tension that has become subconsciously ingrained into her at this point.

Gil pulls her to lean against him, wrapping his arm around her and trying to, as subtly as possible, get his other arm out of the sleeve so he can secure it entirely over her shoulders as a blanket. "They need to assign more interns to this place."

Thena shrugs, already leaning quite heavily on him as the warmth of him permeates her tired bones and the smell of him on his hoodie lulls her into relaxation. "They don't come down here to learn trauma care, they come here when they need extra cash."

Gil just rolls his eyes. Thena works herself to the bone, seeing everyone from people who have very normal reasons to come in and just can't make it to clinics because of their work schedules, to very real and urgent traumatic emergencies. And she and Ajak get so little thanks for it.

Thena is actively and visibly drifting off, turning her face into his bicep as she makes her self more comfortable against him. "What about you? When are you off?"

Gil is technically off duty now, also supposed to be heading home. But he's here because he asked Ajak if Thena was heading out too, only to learn that she was fulfilling the last of her 18 hours. And he would be damned if he trusted her to take proper care of herself when she was exhausted.

And he certainly wasn't going to let anyone else take care of her in his place, either.

"Gil?" Thena asks again, although she wraps both of her arms around his one, as if he's her own personal teddy bear.

"I'm off too," he whispers, leaning his head against hers as she dozes off against him, sitting up and wrapped in his work hoodie over her scrubs.

But she's sleeping, and it's all he wanted when he came in here.

The door opens and one of the interns - either very early or extremely late - pokes their head in. "Um, is Doctor Thena-"

"Get out," Gil glares at them, utterly remorseless for the harsh treatment. His eyes burn a hole in them, "quietly."

They do so, pulling the door closed for him as quietly as humanly possible.

The trauma surgeon from upstairs will be coming down any minute to take over for her anyway. And Gil is ready to sit up with Thena for as long as she stays asleep. He'll carry her to her car and drive her home if he has to.

Although part of him wants to stay here and let her hold onto his arm like this forever.

Thena mumbles in her sleep, and Gil smiles. She denies it every time he brings it up to her, but she's a sleep talker--mumbles out anything from patient charts to what she wants to eat when she wakes up. It's an oddly cute habit for the Goddess of War to have, which is why she denies it so vehemently.

Gil kisses her forehead, "go home?"

"Home," she sighs in agreement, still holding onto him. She's very deserving of her next 24 hours off, he thinks.

She won't like it--she'll be mortified if she thinks about the interns seeing it. But Gil knows what has to be done. He tries to pull his arm out of her grasp, only for her to whine at him faintly. He laughs under his breath. "I'm gonna take you home, honey."

Gil manages to extract his arm so he can pick her up bridal style, bundling her up in his arms so he can grab her backpack on the way. He does take a route that's not out the main entrance to the ER, for the sake of Thena's pride.

He carries her out the ambulance bay doors, heading for his car to drive her home. The paramedics getting ready for their first run of the day wave to him. He nods his head, and they seem to understand that he has cargo far too precious to risk waking.

There can be great highs and lows when caring for children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN). We start this week with a mother's heartful thanks to all the hard-working and under-appreciated therapists out there. Mother and special-needs advocate Abby Banks has also written a book, Love Him Anyway (2017), about her family's journey with Wyatt, who was paralyzed at 7 months by transverse myelitis.
