Paying for working
#1
Hey, I wanted my own thread to rant about my jobba ^_^
The student in my Univ have to work the last 2 years...to get experience..... Funny, but we don't get paid, not even for the travelling, but guess what? Our teachers DO get paid for OUR job. So, they have a patient, and they say 'Do 15' of this and 10' of that' or directly 'Do him what you know'. We do the messy, dirty job and they make the patients sign the bills with their names in. So that's how it works.

But recently, I'm seeing that, on top of not being paid, I'll have to put money of my own to put away some nasty things of the fucking patients they would have to do themselves. Not only I get patients with several body smells (OK so it's a public hospital so the people are poor, but anyone can afford a soap to wash their feet, right?),

Puts perfume in the bill

but it seems that all the old hemiplegic farts I treat have halitosis. Unfortunately, because of their disease, I have to get close to them, and can't avoid the stinkin' breath.

Puts drops to share with patients in the bill.

But the worst one is an old fart I treat uselessly cuz she has breathing problems and first thing she does when exiting the hospital is lighting a cigarette. Her secretions are so thick that I can't even take them out,and she coughs so horribly that I have to leave the box when she does. But I'm forced to touch her, which is far worse, cuz she smells like.....I don't know....it's like a 2000 year old talc....and that shit gets stuck in my hands...I have to wash them about 10 times to make it fade....

Puts latex gloves in bill.

Now I have to go off and spend in those items....And I don't go and buy some chocolate for myself....On top that I don't have any money and my TV is broken....*sigh*

Yep, residencies suck. My dad had to do one too. It's a test of your willingness to comply with the Hippocratic Oath. Once you pass, they're supposed to give you a paying job at the hospital. That's what they're supposed to do, but you have to make a good impression, and a lot of it is politics, but more of it comes down to: can they afford you? Keep in mind, hospitals are non-profit, and almost always on the verge of going broke. Now, that cigarette lady, I would've found a way to put her out of her misery. Twisted

Well, at least today I got my boss to tell the nurses to give me latex gloves for the fart, but I doubt that they'll give me perfume or drops.
Wise: It doesn't work that way. In my Univ, you have to go to at least 4 hospitals and work to graduate, so it's not that they will be hiring me or anything (they are all public anyway). Yeah, they don't get broke cuz they have free workers like us. And we gotta work hard cuz of the grades...
Unknown: Maybe I can convince my mother to lend me hers, but I don't know. And you know, I have several patients that behaves just like you towards me in the hospital :roll: ...

Hey it's not the worst thing I've ever said to her plus everyone likes to hear it. (I was going to leave that last part off but I left it on.)

Yeah, but in your case, you've never seen me.

Yeah, we do, but only if it's true.
I have 3 guys that throw those stuff like that to me. None of them are my patients but they are in the same gym that I am, so they talk to me all the time. 2 are old, but the other is only a little younger than me and seems pretty determined (he has already invited me to a coffee).Want more smarminess? These are some of the stuff they've told me:
Guy 1: 'Oh, who could be 30 years old?!' 'I wouldn't hesitate if I had to follow such a cute girl!' 'Hello/Bye cutie/sweetie/baby/love' 'Don't treat her like a pretty face cuz she's smart'
Guy 2: 'I have C. as my physio. Look at WHAT I could have had'
Guy 3 (the young one): 'Will you give me a massage?(this he told the first day I arrived)' 'Let me do that(I was pinning a flag in my chest for a national date)' '(he showed me a pornographic-looking doll he'd made with the wooden blocks in the gym---I always get stuff like that :roll: )'

Well, I could go on...But anyway, the other day, the nurse that takes the turns had a day off, so I had to take care of the paperwork myself. Therefore, I shall confer upon myself a new title:

Zephyr of Darkness has earned the title of The Secretary.[/i]
