 What's up you guys, Zidana? Okay, so day four done. I am tired out of this world, but I wanted to bring, you know, this thing to you, this, this story time, right? So that's what I'm doing. I'm cheating a little because I'm doing it in the morning now, like right before I go into work again because I was so exhausted yesterday, okay? So I did not get home until 10 o'clock, even though I was supposed to have a 12-hour shift. I didn't really leave the hospital until maybe like 9.30, 9.40 ish. And that's because it was crazy, you all, okay? So I've noticed, like from this week, that the trauma unit is very much like the restaurant or like being a waiter. And if you've ever been like a waiter in a restaurant, then you know exactly what I'm talking about. So there are days when it's like, okay, man, like, can I please have a customer? Like, I don't have any customers. And you want to like have them come because you're bored, you need like something to do, and you're like, oh my gosh, like, there's there's nothing like I'm just not gonna get paid today, right? And then there are days where it starts off like that, and you're like, oh my goodness, like, sorry, you guys, I'm, you know, I'm in the car. So there are days where you're like, oh gosh, like, I need a customer. And then you're like going through your shift or whatever. And then all of a sudden, like, maybe two to two hours before closing, you get slammed and you get your behind handed to you. And that is exactly what happened to me yesterday. Okay, so literally, I'm going along trucking along a little trauma day. And we were fine, you know, like all morning, we had two traumas. And honestly, like, they weren't even really traumas, you know, and so it was just kind of like, okay, like, we did this, we worked them up for maybe 30 or so minutes. And then that was it. Like, you know, they got discharged because again, like it wasn't like a serious trauma like so if we didn't really have to keep them. And that happened that literally was in the morning from the time I got on doing our usual like, you know, rounds eating report, sign off all of that stuff that you guys are very familiar with now that I'm in day four. But after that, it's like, it was just sitting in the trauma bay. And we were, you know, like I'm looking at CT scans and things like that, just to kind of get myself from early rise with the anatomy of the body again, and how it looks like on a CT CT scan, like what's normal and what's abnormal. And that was fine, you know, but I was in my, my waiter days, like, oh my gosh, like, man, I just want to see a patient, like what's going on. But you know, like, like in your waiter days, like, when it is time to go, you're like, you're looking at the clock and you're like, okay, like, yeah, all right. So you call this day a wash type of thing, right? You know, you're like, you know, you're not going to get any kind of money, any tips today. And so you're just like, all right, like, I'm just kind of ready to go home. And that's where I was at, like, I was like, all right, okay, like, I have maybe, you know, an hour and a half left before it's time to go. So I'm ready to go home. Like, let me just kind of work on creating my favorites for my note writing and just look at some more CT scans and, you know, call it a day. Well, at the end of the day, that definitely did not happen. I literally it was like, I kid you not, an hour and 30 minutes or so before I had to leave, we got slammed. We had like five traumas in a matter of 20 minutes. Okay. And so the trauma Bay, like the trauma room only has two trauma beds. And so it was like two traumas that in, and then we had to put two traumas in the resuscitation room. And then we had to have another trauma in another room because we still had to do our assessment. But luckily, again, you know, there's two of us training and then there was two trauma PAs that's always on. So it was a car crash, a motor vehicle accident that happened. And I don't know, like, if everybody that was in this accident came to our hospital, but it sure seemed that way because literally we have like four people come at the same time. And then, you know, the one straggler come like at the end. And so I had my own patient, like I was doing, I was running through everything. And so again, you know, going through ABCs, getting comfortable with like actually talking to the patient, like and asking them questions, you know, yes, we're not trying to hurt them, but we still are trying to elicit pain to see like, Okay, are you hurting in your shoulders and your neck and your abdomen in your chest? Like when I press on your chest, does it hurt? When I move your hips? Does it hurt with to roll them and check their back? And so doing things like that, like still I'm still getting comfortable doing that, you know, this is my second time doing it. I did a little bit better than the last time I did it. And obviously, as I continue to do it even more, I'll get more better. But you know, still a little like timid, I guess you can say, but the great thing was that I had help, you know, I had assistance. So if there was anything that I was lacking in or anything that I any information I was missing, she was there to help me like kind of pick up the slack. And so I was really grateful for that. Because you don't feel like alone and like you're, you know, you're just kind of floating in space and you have no idea what you're doing. Although I was pretty interesting and fast paced, like it was cool. Because again, like for the majority of the day, we were kind of like done, we had nothing going on. But I worked that patient up, you know, for like, you know, everything. And I took them back to the CT scan, looked at their, their scan, looked at their x-rays. And obviously, like they were in a lot of pain, there were a lot of broken bones that they will have to eventually get fixed. And it was like more, what is it? Urgent? Yeah, it was more urgent than emergent. I don't know. Yeah, it was more urgent than emergent. So like we had time to wait, but not too much time. Because, yeah, they're they're broken bones, right? So that that was that and it was significant broken bones. So I had my patient, the other like training PA had their patient, and then the seasoned trauma PAs had a patient each. And so it worked out well, like we were all there, like working, although we needed a little bit more hand holding. I think ultimately like it was good. And I was actually like, pretty glad and happy that, you know, at the end of the day, everything was fine. So that was really my day. Again, I didn't leave until after 10. And that was because I was still waiting for like lab reports and things like that. And you know, I wanted to like kind of see my patient all the way through, and not just like, give a handoff, you know, be like, okay, I'm done, you know, it's seven o'clock, let me go. So I wanted to do that. And so that's what I did. It worked out like I had to work today. And so I'm a little bit tired, but not not too exhausted. The sucky part of this, like the only thing was was that I left very early in the morning, like five ish five, not five ish, like I'm overexaggering a little maybe like 545 ish. So my kids were asleep. My husband was asleep. So I didn't really get to see anybody. When I left, and then I came home really late at night, and they were all asleep again, because my husband wasn't feeling well, and you know, the kids go to bed early. So I didn't get to see them. And then now again, I left early in the morning. And so that is why I'm not the biggest fan of 12 hour shifts, because your whole day is shot, like let's say, again, like another day like this happens, then I'm working it back to back. Then I don't get to see my family essentially for two days, right? But when you're working a 24 hour shift, it literally is seven to seven. And so yes, you're not going to see them for that day, right? But you're going to see them in the morning. So I would be seeing them now as I they wake up in the morning, but that's not the case. So that's the only like kind of sucky part of 12 hour shifts. And that's what we're doing currently for like the next two or so months. So I'll have to kind of get used to it. But yeah, that was the only thing. And so that is kind of one thing that I guess that I'm looking forward to with my 12, my 24 hour shifts, like just being able to kind of have the day and then like be done with it. So excuse me, guys. Yeah, so that's that's that. And I won't start working 24 hours until like, maybe like the second to last week of May. So I will bring you guys on that journey like my official first time working a 24 hour shift as a PA. So please stay tuned for that. So please go make sure that you come back tomorrow because again, I'll do day five. And like this video, subscribe and hit that notification bell for me.
