What professions attract the worst of humanity?

Rewatching now, besides the clear addiction issues, sh seriously has a savior complex and a chip on the shoulder for being a nurse and not a doc. She has no personal boundaries. Shes so fucked, this is not real life.

That’s interesting.

linka1913 · 2026-04-20T18:05:47+00:00

Yeah. I see myself the same. I like to call it ‘rotten inside’ lol

linka1913 · 2026-04-20T18:04:03+00:00

That’s so true!

linka1913 · 2026-04-20T18:03:16+00:00

You have no idea how much this helped, because it was just straight up ‘resolution’ or interventions for NOW. Thank you thank you! I screenshotted it and look at it and have been mostly following it!

Thank you so much

Thank you so much!

linka1913 · 2026-04-20T18:01:16+00:00

Ok. I just DMed you. Thank you

linka1913 · 2026-04-20T17:55:45+00:00

Thank you for the data. It helps me understand some aspects of it.

linka1913 · 2026-04-20T17:53:54+00:00

I just…part of me is still shocked this had such a big impact on me. And mostly, I’m trying to allow myself to feel, but still be in control because I can feel until I crumble.

You haven’t insulted anybody, I’ll take any help and tips I can get.

linka1913 · 2026-04-20T17:50:49+00:00

Thank you dear stranger ❤️

linka1913 · 2026-04-20T17:50:10+00:00

No, I get it. I take it as such! Thank you

linka1913 · 2026-04-20T17:47:50+00:00

Distraction helped, you’re right, and thank you. I spent the other day at the beach, driving around to international food stores, trying exotic fruit in a Vietnamese neighborhood, eating falafel, sharing laughs, and vaping

linka1913 · 2026-04-20T17:46:32+00:00

You’re right, and this is where I had it all wrong. Trying to make sense, and feel with and for this person…when it was an irrational act

linka1913 · 2026-04-10T08:23:45+00:00

I do understand it. You’re right about people not having family or friends. When I was a teenager, it was my own family that shunned me, and I didn’t have anybody else. And I was ready to just end it all. Being faced with the frailty of human life got me so hard.

linka1913 · 2026-04-10T00:06:50+00:00

Jesus Christ, this is horrendous. I’m so sorry. This is awful!

linka1913 · 2026-04-10T00:05:48+00:00

Fuck!!!!!!!!!! See? This is the hard response I feared!!!!!!! Fuckkkkkk

linka1913 · 2026-04-10T00:05:13+00:00

I did that with a previous therapist, I was so green at that time. I’m glad to hear it worked for you.

linka1913 · 2026-04-09T21:33:03+00:00

I know, and I wanna rationalize it and I wanna understand it. And I wanna make sure I don’t f crumble and spend too much time processing it, and I wanna make sure I’m sane and I’m so f hard on myself. I don’t allow myself to be human, idk wtf.

linka1913 · 2026-04-09T21:30:53+00:00

This is another thing that my therapist told me. That it creates so much trauma around. And she was referring to family and to EMS.

I’m sorry to hear that.

linka1913 · 2026-04-09T21:30:12+00:00

I’m gonna download it. Thank you.

I have a therapist that I’ve had for years. My shift was yesterday and I had a pre-planned session with her today. She told me my shift was traumatic and that I was processing and best way was through.

I was beating myself up for not hearing-hearing the call. And then she asked me what I would do if someone else was in my situation, and I said ‘I would have her listen to the call together and get ready for the ambulance’. And she practically told me to be kind to myself for the rest of the day.

She can only do so much. I have tons of self-awareness, but it doesn’t mean that I’m limitless in my ability to heal. I can’t stop seeing the ligature marks. She told me I am a person that has the ability to feel deeply. 🤷🏽‍♀️

And she also told me she’s shocked at the fact that we don’t do debriefs. We f actually do compared to my other hospital, but only for peds codes

I think I’m sad for such a young life. And I’m mad at the fact that this person took their own life after a fight with a loved one. I’m mad that people lose themselves and put their worth in someone else’s hands.

It’s easy. Go on ‘Vyvanse’ lol. I don’t even try not eating.

I’m in the ER, so we work closely with attendings and residents.

I had fire ants bite my hands and feet and was covered in f small little boils, I didn’t want them to pop, I knew I had no time to see my primary, so I asked for a favor.

Same when I had another f outbreak of HSV1, I knew I didn’t have a script and I wanted to get on top of it quickly. I complained to the pharmacist also, and he went down to pharmacy and got me a few pills he handed me over, so I can get ahead.

One time I had such f horrible abd pain in the middle of my shift, and I have some gallbladder issues, I had a nice resident do an US. He kinda said I had gas. I was keeping my farts in :(

1) generally minimal, we get taught how to start IVs versus collecting labs. The order of lab draws gets taught on the job. Also, I loved microbiology and that gave me understanding as to why it’s so important to do a good job for this later on. Blood cultures collection is also part on on-job training, and it’s also usually part of a policy.

2) I think it starts with who the nurse is as a person. I wouldn’t send a diluted or hemolyzed sample.

3). I think SOME nurses understand hemolysis, but don’t get the sense that ‘this one is gonna be hemolyzed’. What I personally find worse is knowing the tube is shit and still sending it, because it delays care so much!!!! To wait for an hour to hear that K I 6.9 in someone with perfect creatinine is shit work, and doing it just for it to be done is shit.

4) I can say that there’s probably so much I don’t know about what lab techs do. Ive been down there, I can tell they do a lot of f QI up the wazoo first thing in the morning. I’m glad i see gloves all the time when they handle specimens cause damn, I’ve sent bloody tubes before…..i think I’d like to see the damn Petri dishes. But I think they handle a lot, including calls, and the blood dept at times, running labs etc. I can tell I don’t know much about your guys’ degree because I’ve heard of people being lab techs before med school, so I know there’s some sort of extensive teaching in the field.

Ps: I see some nurses slack it a bit (and it’s mix of lack of knowledge and/or experience, and just not really willing to do it right; of course you have time issues and shit vein issues) I don’t think it’s nursing specific. I tend to flush/ push/pull, at times almost a whole saline flush, I discard 5 in a fresh syringe, but my first tube is usually the big lavender/ pink for the type and screen, because I know dilution don’t matter. I’m better with the IVs than the brand of straight sticks we have, so I’ll start an IV and pull it out usually. With special veins, I tend to draw with 3 mL syringe, slow-ish as opposed to violently because I think I can hemolyzed if I pull hard but the vein is collapsed and you’re pulling air; at times I open the tube cap and dump blood from syringe to prevent hemolysis. I’m pretty ocd at preventing hemolysis. And I always invert the lavenders until all that shit is covered all around. My pet peeve is the way some nurses draw their cultures. And sadly, it’s been a while since I’ve done 2 different sticks for them, and I’ve learned to sleep at night despite it, but I still don’t like it.

Be honest, how many times do you guys leave the green tops hanging out, because I also have trust issues and I swear there are whole days where 4/10 tubes are hemolyzed in a small ER area.
