smile...
Today was not one of my smiley day...I had patients going left right and centre...problems to sort out..everyone wanted a piece of me...felt exhausted physically and mentally...
She came in with a webster pack..and well it took me 2 days to sort out her tablets..left a note..told her doctor..he only wrote up half of them..so had to chase him again the next day...
apparently she packed her bags the night before last wanting to go home..
I came to see her yesterday..and explained it to her and her daughter that usually the doctors tend to stabilise the patients first..antibiotics..hydrocortisone..etc..then they will sort out the mess..
Today I came in to see them...I asked..did you get all your tablets last night? ..yes she smiled..her daughter was pleased too..from an anxious person yesterday..today it was all smiles..she replied..no complaints today..I am glad..
all it took was some explaining...she was very upset as she didn't get her sleepers..hehehe her doctor didn't write them down as a regular medication..he was trying to cut her off them..and of course it didn't work..so he popped them back for her...I didn't dare say that to her...hehehe

She Won't Take
her tablets...
She came in with pain for investigation....went to see Mrs S..to pop her tablets in..Panadol Osteo..she took one look...you're not giving me those are you?? I have a few packets at home..you'll need them while you're in here..I am not taking them..they don't work...
have you been taking them regularly at home? no...hehehe they only work if you take them regularly..we give it to all our patients in rehab and they work very well..
oh...would you give them another try?? okie...
went out to see A..told her to give the tablets with lunch..she won't take them V...I'd already tried this morning..hehehe..she will..I did some talking to her..
usually patients only refuse their tablets because either they don't work...or they don't know what it is for...or they are scared of side effects...
sometimes it only takes a bit of explaining..gentle persuasion and they are okie..hehehe and I am very good at persuading..hehehe
