It's true, I DID go to the hospital yesterday and I was there a good 11 and a half hours. Okay, having gotten out my shocking you guys need, I shall continue. While I was at the hospital, I job-shadowed Mom, which was kewl, but WAY different than working at a vet's clinic. I can't write very well now, so you'll get the list of DOOM again.
-I watched a heart bypass surgery. Basically, they take all the blood vessels pumping stuff to and from your heart and divert it to this AMAZING machine that keeps you alive while the surgeon reattatches things the way he want them, and by the end of it, you get your blood back and your heart's working better. Way cool.
-I watched a 18-month-old have a penny pulled out of her throat, which was SCARY, 'cause if the doctor'd pushed the coin in any farther it would have killed the patient. O.O Also, babies don't like I.V.'s.
-I got to eatch Mom thump a semi-conscious patient on the chest ant demand that she cough, which made me wanna laugh. In fact, as soon as we were out of the patient's hearing range, I did so.
-I probably walked like 12 miles, because Mom moves from case to case, which all are on different floors. So I did work my lunch off. *shrugs*
-The hospital has A LOT of people in it, just in case none of you people realized that. I didn't.

I knew that!! I went with my mom to work once... pretty boring. I got to watch her stick people in the arm with needles, and work on computers. :D No surgeries, sadly!
*shudder* I could barely handle the pig. I don't think I could do a surgery.
It actually wasan't that bad. *Shrugs* But heights bother me, and not you, as far as I know, so I guess everybody's got their phobia.
i hate hospitals
