A momentary career as a candy striper. Wednesday, April 15, 2009. Oh you girls (or padded cells arent for everyone). Today was supposed to be a suicide watch (not in the sense that i was going to watch someone commit suicide but in the sense that i was going to prevent them from doing so. Spose thats obvious, isnt it? But the patient cancelled. Now i am aware that we have made significant steps from the former asylum days, there are still situations and scenes that are shocking as all fuck. All of the pa...

A momentary career as a candy striper. Friday, November 28, 2008. In the Grandeur scheme of things. As per usual im waiting in the solarium for the family to let me know that i can return to the patients room. Todays events revolve more around the waiting room then they do my assigned patient. For the second day in a row i have been in conversation with an older fellow who loves to talk and particularly tell me stories. And Mrs Oland (a beer magnate). 1) All old nova scotia men love to lie. The former is...

A momentary career as a candy striper. Tuesday, June 09, 2009. Day 18 - A separate encounter with his Royal Polishness. Today my shift was cancelled but I knew that I would get called in late or just before my shift was supposed to start. I had the chance to particicpate in some other 'endeavors' however I did not because I was waiting for the call. (note to self, ask my sister what these endeavors were, was it pot related as I suspect or was she part of a white slave ring? His diaper is clean! It would ...

No weekends here: Original Introduction/Okie
http://thesearethedaysofyourlife.blogspot.com/2008/08/original-introductionokie.html
A momentary career as a candy striper. Monday, August 04, 2008. Found the original introduction halfway through the note book. Thats a good place for an introduction. Figured it was worth throwing this up here regardless. Candystripers was the original title). Reads like the intro to Law and Order. Feeling particularly generous so im gonna post a big 2 parter today. One nurse came in with a flashlight and he went beserk, as if the nurse was an invader from that game nighttrap. His nurse is alright except...

No weekends here: Deaths doorstep

A momentary career as a candy striper. Tuesday, February 24, 2009. Today I was sent to the Veterans Hospital. The man I am taking care of is in his final stages of Parkinson's disease and on top of that hes got pneumonia. Talk about shitty luck. Is it just another day at work? The room my patient is in looks like home, its extremely comforting for him. He has uncontrolled moments and he can hear well but cannot speak. The body decreases in dopamine which means acytyl choline takes over causing symptoms.

A momentary career as a candy striper. Thursday, December 06, 2007. First and foremost (sp? Please recognize that all patients will be called by their initials so as to avoid any nasty lawsuits (although im sure they wont find me or give a shit about my internaut ramblings). This job was by far the most interesting of all the jobs that i had. Sadly i didnt keep a diary of the call center job i had later on. Ideally if this should come to an abrupt end, i will try to remember bits and pieces. A) the son w...

No weekends here: A slippery predicament
http://thesearethedaysofyourlife.blogspot.com/2009/04/slippery-predicament.html
A momentary career as a candy striper. Wednesday, April 08, 2009. I was about to announce a hiatus from this blog as I have recently been copying notes and stories from my sisters journals of when she too was working as a candy striper back in the summer of 2003. Her notes are great but I have to admit that it can be a bit difficult to find the inspiration to meld a good yarn out of it as they are all her notes and memories. I more or less was gonna focus more on my smut. Or mustard or whatever. My broth...
