» Beautiful Moments, Part Two
Beautiful moments?
I think the most beautiful moment I ever had was when I was paragliding in Turkey.
Once I had stopped shabing myself I looked down, and this is what I saw...
Amazing.

» Ouch!
As a student mental health nurse
I see a great deal of ouches, I even get some myself.
Just yesterday I was working working a night shift on an acute ward. (Acute = Very poorly sick people)
One of our patients, who we shall call A, decided she is not going to go to bed until she gets a 'little blue pill'. This little blue pill happens to be Lorazepam, we use this to stop people beating the living daylights out of us or each other and as she is pretty calm we say no.
Fast foreward 3 hours. This 5'4" 70lb woman is being restrained by 3 members of staff, one of which is my mentor, B. Now B is in a pretty awkward position behind A, A promptley decides to kick like a donkey who has eaten one too many carrots. B goes flying into a wall. 'Fucksocks' says I, best go get security since the police have decided not to turn up. After another hour A has been dosed with her 'little blue pill' afterall. Cue B's dinner repeating on her and a trip to A&E.
Outcome, broken schaphoid bone and a beautiful purple bruise on her back.
Also on my previous placement I was told a story that put me off Forensic Nursing (people doing their prison time in psychiatric services) for life.
Apparently one of the patients had boiled a kettle full of water and proceeded to pour it down a nurses back. Mega ouch!!
It's my first time, be gentle!
