Using a Wisemon's quote....today I should have stayed in bed.
Today I screwed up more than all my practice altogether.
1- I asked a question to the boss about a gadget I'd never used before. He took me apart and said 'You never, EVER ask a question in front of the patients. You act confidently' and he stacked me with a lot of homework to boot. (he knows I have 3 exams coming...)
2- One patient I've been taking care of very long asked me to put her magnetotherapy instead of the shortwave the boss had told me, and I looked at her knee and said 'True, you have it swollen'(you never put a shortwave in a swollen knee) When he saw this, he scolded me again.
3- A patient that came for the 2nd time, the boss said: 'You're doing great. One more session and you're outta here.' He asked me to take care of her. She walked with short but secure steps, with that four-legged gadget for walking, so I didn't put too much care; I just accompanied her. Usually, if a patient falls with that walker thing, she slowly keels over it, so you have time to grab and support her. No, this one THREW AWAY the walker forward in a sudden twist and fell on her back. It seems she fractured a shoulder or sth (next time I'll know). The other physios and patients told me 'Those things happen. It wasn't your fault' but I bet the boss will lower my score for this as well.
Out of all the patients in the world, I had the 1 over 100,000 that falls in her ass instead of slumping over the walker?!
Wish I had that luck for lottery....
4- The boss attended the smoker fart instead of me, but she got to me and yelled 'I've been waitng for over half and hour!!!!I'm freezing cold!!!!' 'So?-I answered- I'm not treating you today. Go ask the boss-he's the one that takes care of you today' She gave me a deadly glare and strutted to the boss' office.
Thank goodness he does know she's a fart.
5- Grabbed me for doing more paperwork.
And I can't go and keel over my bed cuz I have to study for tomorrow's exam..... :(
