Dr. Sinestera

Since Harold has been in the ER I've gotten to meet alot of people from down there and even one of the doctors. This one doctor even invited us over to his house during christmas. Super nice and gay guy. He gave me alot of advice on becoming an icu nurse and how to handle emergancies. The day I had the horrible day when they called the code blue he was the doctor that came to the room.

He's a very fiesty guy and wanted to know what was going on with the pt. He raised his voice at us all so that someone would say what was going on with the pt. I was talking to another doctor and couldn't manage to say a word to him during the emergancy. Once the lady was a little more stable I went up to him to let him know that I was the nurse in charge of the pt. He looked like he freaked out when he saw that it was me that was the nurse.

When I got home and was done with my shower that night Harold told me that Dr. Sinestera was on the phone for me. I thought for sure I was in some type of trouble with the hospital. It turns out he was on his way home and wanted to apologize for screaming at me in the room. It was the most sincere "I'm sorry" I've ever heard. I cried like a baby. I told him that he as just doing his job and I wasn't doing mine by freezing in an emergancy. I know he wouldn't have screamed at me if he knew it was me but then again I don't expect special treatment!

He also told me that I was a good nurse and that I need to get into the ER where they will teach things the "right way." He doesn't think the old nurses will do me any good because they do not work as a team and didn't look like they were taking care of me. They do things very differently in the ER and it really is just a different type of nursing. We talked on the phone for about 45 minutes. He was the only person that day to tell me that it wasn't my fault. I broke down talking to him like if he was Harold or a best friend or something... he totally helped to scrape me off the ground.

It was one of the kindest things or experiences I've ever had... he's much closer to harold than me and he didn't have to take time to make sure I was ok. I respect him so much and to tell you the truth I wanted to call him to say that I was sorry..

And just to update on the Code Blue lady... she's doing MUCH MUCH better.. they were able to take the breathing tube out and she was out of bed sitting in a chair on saturday and got transfered out of the icu on sunday =) I guess I didn't hurt her too bad!
