..Resolved several patient psychotropic medication issues
...Provided crisis counseling to an offender who believed the microphone in his housing unit was beeping at him through the night - and suddenly discovered that his requested "faith" unit annoyed the heck out of him because he couldn't stand hearing about Jesus all the time
...Transferred a patient who suddenly decided he needed to cut someone, himself or an officer or just anyone
...Provided crisis counseling to a severely depressed patient who hears voices telling him awful things (they never do say anything nice), including telling him not to trust me
...Handled a patient who suddenly discovered his change in work assignment was going to devastate his daily schedule
...Made rounds in the solitary cells, providing counseling to one patient who is facing life endangerment issues (other offenders are trying to kill him)
...and then saw my regularly scheduled patients, charted on everybody, and then scheduled about a zillion more patients for tomorrow.
Not complaining. Just venting. Big difference.

yeah, those hallucinations are hardly ever positive. remember the lingering hispanic man that one kid had? he wasn't scary or doing anything threatening so we wondered why the mom was complaining about it at all...
I remembered the hispanic man as being a little scary to the child until the mom told her he was her guardian angel. Remember the 6-year-old Vietnam vet? Ah, the memories...
Holey Moley! What a job!
Bless your heart for persevering and sharing your life with us. Hope your weekend is all you want it to be. Toby and I are hanging out and I am making stuffed red peppers with falafel mix instead of hamburger. Yum! Give all the kids a hug from me okay?
