I gotta debrief.
Omg what a fucking shit show my nightshift was!
My Team Leader was attacked by a patient, I heard a student screaming “help”, I’ve coming running (which is a visual no one needs ever see), now I’m screaming “CALL A CODE BLACK! CALL A CODE BLACK”. This 6 foot something guy is yelling “you fucking cunt” while choking my TL. I jumped on his back like a fucking a spider monkey, which I am not. He’s now trying to like shake me off into the hospital curtains. An absolute team of security arrive and take him and me down. The noise wakes the deafest patient on the ward who now thinks he’s in Vietnam and security are the Vietcong. He’s bounced out of bed like a geriatric ninja, absolutely screaming, throwing hay makers left right and centre, funny part not one lands. 3/4 of the ward is now awake, scared, needing reassurance, students crying, we were just shook like what the actual fuck?!
Had to take Angry McChoke Choke down with an IM of Haloperidol and poor old Screamy Von Vietcong had to have a stat Olazapine for his trouble to calm him down, and somehow within an hour everyone was sleeping again, while we wrote reports and wtf’ed! Look tbh we were cry lolling at the recount. Everyone saw a different angle from each of the ward quadrants. Everyone’s take just added to the laughter.
I’ve kind of hurt my hip a bit, I think it’s just bruised. I should have Mental Health walked but I felt too spent and I just didn’t want to. We were all late getting out, and I think I’m okay.
Just had 3 hours of sleep. I’m home alone today which is good. I don’t have to talk. I think I just wanted to debrief without talking.
I’ve just put clean sheets on my bed, so if I do nothing else nice for myself, I’ll have that.
Only 7 hours of wake time to go! Lollll
I really should go for a walk and do some yoga on the deck tho. Literally not one cloud in the sky.
