New Shoes Christened

It didn't take long. On my second day of wearing my new lavender shoes, I dropped some urine on my shoe. Now, they feel like real work shoes.

Tonight's patient of note refused to wear his oxygen mask because his room had "bad vibes" and he was sure that we were trying to kill him by pumping poisonous gas through the oxygen pipes in the wall. He said that if we moved him to another room, he would use the oxygen.

I have little patience for such nonsense, but we had to move him because the doctor told us to. Without oxygen, he was going to need to be intubated soon and the doctor wanted us to try this first. So he was moved and he liked the "vibes" of the new room and so started using the oxygen. He's fine now. I guess it never occurred to him that if we could pump poisonous gas into one room that we could do it to all of the rooms. (I could never be a psyche nurse.)
