Went in today..worked the war zone (infirmary alias zoo)..dealt with a kid who oded on valium on suicide watch, a women who looked like a man who was on crack, a man who looked like a woman who was on heroin, a 19 year old sex addict female with a crack habit and last but not least a 20 year old crack baby (both parents had used crack while he was being conceived. What a day...think the beast would stand back in wonder and leave me alone because he was so amazed at his surroundings but no...right in the middle of a code management. We had the crack baby on the ground after he flipped out on us..I was one of the ones on top of him ..trying to shoot him up with ativan and haldol ..the beast starts to laugh...what a day. I could not move. My eye felt like it would pop out of my head but I could not let the kid go or he would knock the shit out of me. What's a gal to do. Oh, well. If I offended anyone...what can I say....I had a bad hair day. I am sorry. Got in my car and left while the tears fell...I feel like shit. smiles, nancyc
