Holes in your neck

We had this lady come in a few nights back that came in via ambulance.   They didn’t tell us quite what was going on just that this lady had holes in her neck.  They had the bleeding under control but would explain the situation when they got there.  Apparently they couldn’t figure out if the patient tried to kill their self or if it was an accident.  The patient was drunk as a skunk screaming that she would never hurt herself.  That she would just take pills because it would be easier.   The lady’s hair was matted with dried blood and the front of her shirt look like she murdered someone.  I gloved and gowned up because the patient was trying to get out of bed.  Shouting she didn’t need to be here.  The Doctor was tied up in another room and I was just accessing the damage.  Which didn’t take long since she wouldn’t stay still the washcloth that was covering her neck fell.  While she screamed at us the holes in her neck would open and close.  Which would cause it to bleed and then stop.  Weird and gruesome all at once.  If she caused these holes she was pretty talented.  I was in weird patterns.  After the doctor accessed her apparently she gotten drunk and passed out.  On the way down she must have hit something to cause the weird holes.  Unfortunately even though she didn’t commit suicide she was home alone with 3 small kids.  Not good because this wasn’t the first time.  Meaning social services had to be called.  It took the doctor about an hour to suture her back up.
***morale of the story if your going to drink yourself unconscious lay in the floor and move the furniture prior to partying.

Best Vampire Movies

1. The all time best movie!! I don’t think they could ever remake this movie and make it better.
2. A classic that comes to life on screen.
3. These vampires don’t sparkle.  They are bloody and just plain mean.  Awesome bloody and gruesome movie
4. This is more of an action vampire movie but I love the idea of a half breed super vampire.
5. The vampire movie of my childhood that scared the pants off me.  I watch it a few days ago and wonder why?  I would like to see the remake to see if this one will make me jump like the old one did years back.
6. I hate Tom Cruise they could have done a better cast.  I still love the movie as well as the book.
7.   Another action packed vampire movie.  It’s not a classic but if you want to see some vampires get their butt kicked this is the movie for you.

*** stay away from priest that movie about put me to sleep…bleck

Surrounded by Vampires

I never realize that I was surrounded in my life by vampires.  Not the kind you see on horror movies, that drink blood or even change into a bat.  I am talking about the petty “vampires”. You know the type.  These vampires are seen on  most reality shows, who drink drama and heartache and change into drama llama. I am not saying that I am perfect by far.  I have spread gossip I have heard.  Everyone has at some point or another.  But these people live on drama and can’t seem to survive without rocking the boat.  Let’s start at work.  We had a nurse ask the night shift charge nurse to let some nurses go home if it continued to be slow.  Which rarely happens.  Well after dayshift left we got slammed.  In fact no one left early and we just couldn’t keep our heads above water…so when day shift came in the next morning.  Joking and smiling I said YEA our relief is here…please for the love of God don’t mention being slow again tonight.  Which apparently snow balled into them talking really bad about me behind my back. WTH?  I wasn’t ugly about.  I told them we were crazy all night.  I just don’t see the problem.  But I was then pulled in the office for some bullshit by the dayshift charge.  She try to say some patient in room 3 was mad how I treated them.  I told her I was never in that room.  I was taking care of the GI bleed in another room.  I never saw that patient and couldn’t even tell you what they were here for.  She made it sound like I had my name on the chart.  I told her to pull the   chart.  Then she started to change her tune.  Well maybe the patient was mistaken.  Whatever.  I just won’t joke with them anymore sheesh.
Then you have METH HO drama she got pissed off at ANN and tried to run her and my kid off the road when she was barreling down the road.  I message her on FB and told her to keep her drama crap at home.  That there was no excuse for her to try to kill my kid because she was pissed off.  She told me she didn’t do that.  When my 12 yr old said different.  I pretty much told her that if she tried that shit again she would find herself in jail.
Of course you have the drama in the ER, where some patient’s suck the life right out of you.  Or the doctors that should be a little more caring and just assume they are druggies.  Some people actually come to the ER for the right reasons.
My brother in law is driving this whole family insane with his aliment.  If he would just do what the doctor says.  He acts like he has a MD behind his name and knows more that the doctors.  When he bitches about his leg or the fact it’s going to be cut off I want to scream at him I TOLD YOU SO DUMB ASS.  I hate that he makes ANN do everything.  Makes me want to smack the crap out of him. I swear ANN has the patience of JOB because I would have smothered him with a pillow along time ago.  She could definitely plead the Insanity case and win.  Heck the Judge is probably tired of seeing him and thank her anyway.
All I want to say to these “vampires” is

Starve a Vampire: Donate blood

It’s amazing how many people can but don’t donate blood. Did you know if you gave blood you can save 3 people?  I don’t give every 3 months like I could but I do give at least once a year.  This year I gave twice.  I just wanted to share some fun facts about blood and donation.
~4.5 million Americans would die each year without life saving blood transfusions.

~Approximately 32,000 pints of blood are used each day in the United States.

~Every three seconds someone needs blood

~On average, a hip replacement typically uses one unit of blood, a cardiac bypass 2 units, a heart transplant 2 units, and a liver transplant 10 units!
~More than 1 million new people are diagnosed with cancer each year. Many of them will need blood, sometimes daily, during their chemotherapy treatment.

So do you have a family member with cancer?  Did your mom or dad have a heart transplant?  How many of your grandparents has had a hip replacement?  Are you one of those that just doesn’t have the time, afraid of needles or just doesn’t care? What if everyone had that same attitude would your loved one be alive today?  Would they have survived their surgery if no one had donated?  Please donate.  Please save a life.  You never know if you will be the one needing the blood when you come into my ER.
  You don’t have to just give at the Red Cross your local hospital usually has a blood bank on sight.  Just call most times you don’t even need an appointment.

Best Vampire Books of all times

1. Sookie Stack House Series by Charlaine Harris.  If you are watching trueblood and haven’t read the book then you don’t know crap about Sookie Stackhouse.  Give the books a try.  If you can’t read get them on CD Duh!                          
2. How would you like to live in a town where it’s ran by vampires.  And making blood donations was the way the town taxed you?  If you don’t pay your taxes you could come up missing?  This is a great series that is easy to read and easy to get addicted to.
3. Tired of the same old Twilight type vampire’s?  Wanting a different type of vampire?  We then this book is for you.  Mori  are still elite type vampires in this series but they  have to be guarded by Damphirs.   The Strigori are the vampires that are out to eliminate the Mori race.  This is a great book.  Unfortunately the first book is a little long winded making people stop reading the series.  The first book is more about getting to know the characters but after that it’s easy to get yourself hooked to this series. 
4. When you’re a teenager you may develop a mark.  Meaning you will be sent away from your family and friends to a new school.  There you will learn the ways of becoming a great vampire.  That is if you can survive the change or the headmistress.                                       
5. Last but not least is Anne Rice’s Vampire chronicles.  

*** there are many other vampire books that I have read that are good not but not great.  They are still good reads but just not one of my favorites.  These would include: Vampire Diaries, Dracula, Turned, and last but not least is Twilight.  I am sure there are many others that I have read that should be on this list but hey I wanted the top 5.  Btw why is Twilight not the top 5?  Because if you are not a teenager you would realize just how whiney and melodramatic Bella is.  Come on?  Kill yourself over a guy?  Good grief.
