Yeah, I knew you couldn't resist. For all you nurses or macabre thinkers out there, this story is for you. I promise, I won't turn this into a journal of gross nursing stories but this one is a 'classic'.
Recently, while responding to a code blue in the ICU I saw a bedside open thoracotomy. That means they crack the chest open right in the patient's room and intervene with 'cardiac massage' and/or pacing. I won't get into details but it was very interesting. However, I have to think of the family and patient. The guy survived, as far as I know. Probably with a very sore chest.
So, on a lighter note, we are going to Disneyland next week for our anniversary! WEeeeee!
Out...
