#if i get yelled at by one more methhead ill die#no maam you cannot drink water or order takeout you got methed up and blew a hole in your face with birdshot#no matter how many times or how many ways i explained it to her it didnt matter. finally she took the water she was using to swab her mouth#with. and water spilled out the holes in her face and throat like a fucking looney tune#it was a miracle she didnt aspirate#and then 5 mjnutes later my other lady with an NG tube rang- it had come unclamped and gastric fluid soaked her/the entire bed/the floor.#and the entire time i was trying to clean it up snd make her bed she was nagging me for going too slow#DO NOT go into healthcare if you dont like people or hate csring for others that a duh#but also. if you're overwhelmingly optimistic and love humans and humanity and community i think you should reconsider the field as well#bc nothing will fuck with your opinions of others quite like healthcare would. you will learn harsh truths whether you like it or not#and either way you're gonna see some horrific shit first hand. even if youre not a first responder youre liable to get a helping of#traumatic experiences + shit that will kindof just destroy your soul#and depending on how low on the totem pole you are#youll prolly get paid minimum wage to deal wit#h the Horrors
