Having work overnight shift for quite a number of times...I must say that yesterday overnight was the most freaking crazy one so far.
First, I got this dying dog with acute renal failure and end up we need to do some Peritoneal Dialysis every 2hr and monitor parameters every hour. But as I said it's a dying dog...so it passed away 2 hours after my shift start.
Then, other than that criticle case, I got like 2 severe pneumonia pet, 1 breathing difficulties/panting dog, 1 dying state cat, and another dying chemo dog. So in total, I got 6 dying cases; not forgetting the other remaining 20 patients. The moment my shift start...I was like..OMGGG.
It's bad enough when u got so many dying cases...It's bad enough when 4 of them decided to die on ur overnight shift...It's bad enough when all decided to dirty the cages at the same time...It's bad enough to have many admission during evening consults...It's bad enough when the stupid oxgen keep running out(cuz too many on oxygen) and yet I got no strength and time to switch a new tank on and I got no one to help....It's bad enough when some stupid cat decided to FLY out the moment u open the cage and I got to catch it back which is not easy...AND the worse thing is....2 of them decided to die on the same night, same time! Right on the time when u are busy cleaning up all the cages....I only got 1 pair of hands...how am I going to resuscitate both?
Well, on the bright side...I managed to get it breath again after my resuscitation(which is my first successful one ever), so I felt damn happy at that moment....however, it still die in the end.
The ironic thing is...I did not sleep a single minute for the whole night because I got so many dying cases...yet, 4 of them still die.
I felt like I just had a war with those animals ytd. so freaking stresful.
I just woke up from my 'Sleep'...damn hungry now. Have not eaten since ytd. Wanted to call Mcdelivery de...who knows i'll be so busy...
Oh well...end of ranting. Perhaps that's what make my job exciting and fulfilling.
