ICU delivers the best care, but most people don't want to be here.
And we don't have any covid cases (lucky us).
Someone was reflecting about this in the tea room. They we've had it rather good in the last year if the worst thing we have to complain about is that we didn't get Christmas party/lunch as good as it usually is.
( Theme of small ICU Sunday: people don't want to be here. )
Best thing about 12 hour Sundays is the 1.75x hourly rate pay for all 12 hours. Really missed this when I had to go back on 8s in MSH/SSH.
Then on the next day, Monday night:
I'm back with Val in bed space 33.
We're not to have the same patient two days in a row, but I cbf to argue the allocation.
( She's just as confused as ever but pleasant tonight. )
The Turkish man whose family had turned up super quick when he wanted to go home has been discharged to the ward by the time I returned for my next shift.
I hope he gets his wishes not to return to ICU.
