It's days like this...

...I really miss working in the ER.
Good evening everyone! And yes, I'm still alive and kicking. I was not planning to post a journal until the new year, but after hearing an interesting story at work, I figured why not share it and use this chance to update everyone on what's going on with me as well. But back to why I'm posting this journal- and as a warning, if you have or like kids, you might not like reading this little story:
So earlier today, I heard the operators call for some of the head nurses to go down to the ER to help- no big deal right? Probably just a critical care patient or they were short and needed help. However, a few minutes later, the operator then called for the hospital chaplain and hospital security
...okay, that's not a good sign. It wasn't until this afternoon that I found out what happened- apparently a 24 year old mother came into the ER with a 2 year old that had been horribly beaten and bruised. Like...it was pretty much DOA (dead on arrival) when it came in. And, here's the sad part, one of the nurses was telling me how she was trying to give CPR to a baby. Not sure how many of you out there are CPR certified or familiar with it but you're basically giving chest compressions to a person in hopes of shocking life back into his/her heart. So here's this little body, and she's trying to beat on its chest: it was a moot point.
And to make matters worse? While all that was going on,the woman left one of her kids in the car by itself...and it was a baby as well *facepalms* And she had six children total [note how I said "had," needless to say, she won't have any after that situation, haha].
Now make no mistake- I hate kids, refuse to ever have any, and I will tell that to anyone that asks me that. However! I am completely against child abuse...or any abuse for that matter. So when I hear that dumbasses like her are even allowed to reproduce and then hurt innocent little rugrats that didn't even ask to be brought into this world? *shakes head* It's people like her that DO NOT need children, yet are the main ones that keep popping them out! And while I feel sorry for the deceased kid and its siblings? It makes me wonder why the hell the mother just didn't give up the children for adoption or...here's a thought- keep her damn legs closed and she wouldn't have had any in the first place! People like her make me sick- not so much the fact that she is an abusive wench, but she had children and raised them in a hostile environment. And don't say she was stressed or overwhelmed- NO, there are all kinds of programs and help out there nowadays to help parents in situations like that.
So why do I miss the ER after something like that happened? As odd as it sounds, I...hmm, I have to word this carefully so as not to offend or confuse anyone: I like the action and excitement that happens in that department. Not bad things like abuse and mothers being cuffed and dragged away for abusing her kids. But being in an area where there's -always- something going on and you see interesting things. Even working on in the other areas of a hospital: ICU, medicine, psyc unit...you're not guaranteed to see much happen outside the occasional death or patient coding. But in the ER- you see everything from stabbings and gunshot wounds to people literally fighting for their lives!
...yeah, I'm a medical geek; don't judge me. Anyway, on to more positive things-
Christmas is here! It doesn't really feel like Christmas does it? With that being said, I will be posting Christmas and winter themed gifts and art between tomorrow and Christmas eve, including a few gifts. As a heads-up, some of y'alls gifts might be late-sorry in advanced but I promise the wait will be worth it. I'm not saying whose gift(s) will be late however; that will spoil the fun. Just realize that if your gift is not ready by Christmas, just be patient and relax! (I know, that's something furries are so good at) Remember, good things come to those who wait.
As for what's going on with me? Hmm, nothing new at the moment. I'm actually in a good mood right now because my life is going okay. Today, one of my coworkers treated the entire office to lunch as a Christmas gift, then I got three gifts as well: two from supervisors, one I received as a thank you for doing such a good job
...wait what? Supervisors that acknowledge you for doing your job and appreciate you? Blasphemy! Since when did the corporate world reward hard work and dedication?! Haha, but on a serious note, I'm doing fine: no drama, no idiots in my life, I look and feel good about myself, and some of my friends even surprised me with gifts to open this Christmas! *is almost happy enough to smile...almost*
Anyway, enough ranting for now! Have a good one y'all and have a conspiracy-free holidays~

By the way what did you do in the ER?
Glad you're doing well~ Was hoping for a white Christmas up here but sadly it looks it's all going to be rain. Fucking snowed last night too. Tease.. Ah well, there's a tree up to be decorated...probably on Eve. Maybe. Hope you enjoy it~ :3
...because our government doesn't have that much common sense and thinks that if you're mature enough to have lay down and have a child, you should able to take care of it as well. I'm sorry but...some people just DO NOT NEED a child! Simple as that. My theory is this: every first time mother, regardless of age, should be required to take a newborn care class that teaches how to care for a child, budgeting resources and money, and gauges how the mother interacts with a child. And then give them a test: not just on paper, oh no, anyone can BS their way through a test. But a practicum/interactive-style test that demonstrates how the mother interacts with a troubled child (ie- how do they console a crying child, a child having a tantrum, etc). If the parent fails or show signs of being potentially abusive? Monitor their ignorant butts and give them a reprimand course. Still doesn't sink in after all that? If/when they do have a child, put said child up for adoption to avoid said toxic environment.
Don't feel bad, I've never seen a white christmas...well I'm in the south but still, would be nice to at least see some snow dang it. It doesn't even look like it's going to be cold this christmas; I think we'll be in the 60s or 70s that day. Ah well, still can't complain! I'll be off work, relaxing, and probably WoWing...err, I mean spending time with my friends
Though I'd rather just see people using proper protection as to avoid unwanted pregnancies in the first place.. You can have a lot of sex and still not get pregnant. -_-; Do it right, people.
Aww. I kinda miss those mild temperatures, but I do hope you get to experience it one year. It compliments the season and the holidays so well. Enjoy spending time with your friends, whether it's WoW/other games or offline. I get to spend it with family, and while I care about them because they're family, there's people I'd rather be with. Next year, definitely.
extra income and free food stampspoor child, the other one would be okay waiting in the car...thank goodness it was only 50 degrees outside yesterday; the twit could have done it while it was freezing or worse, the middle of the summerBut Im glad the kids will be better taken care of now that they in their ignorant mother's care >.>
and YAY Merry Christmas to you too
...if I didn't know any better, I'd think the mothers are okay with their kids having kids just so they can have that extra check (but you didn't hear that from me, lol).
And merry christmas! Hope you guys have a good one~
I hope you have a safe warm merry Critmit though!
You already know what the deal is with that woman. As I said she is just doing that because she sees that big dollar sign every time she has another kid. She doesn't have a sense of responsibility probably especially if she is on welfare and using those kids to claim as dependents and get more of your money and mine to pay for her poor choices.
I understand what you mean despite that incident about being excited to work in the ER. Its just the experience in itself right? I felt the same way about deployment when we were stationed at FOB Zerok. Dunno if its online or not but you might see some pics of it. Just look up 2-28 infantry. Anyways I knew there was a bit of excited expectation whenever there was the possibility of something going down. Not because I like shooting at people or anything like that but its just an experience that is unique and adventurous and like you said you never know what you will see.
By the way you feel ALMOST good enough to smile? Damn girl you are slipping!
Oh I know, well everyone probably knows that's the only reason that twit had so many kids- and I can guarantee she's one of those people that's always "broke" yet somehow has the latest phone, new car, computer, etc. *shakes head* Some people just have no sense of responsibility and the ability to prioritize their life properly. And her kids were the main ones that suffered...followed by us taxpayers that had to help pay for her damn welfare she misused.
I smile dang it! But I have to have a damn good reason to...
