I was at 1 East this week with Zimmerman. I had a interesting time this week. First of all, my patient had a spinal fusion surgery at the age of 36. Then when taking report from my nurse the next morning, I discovered his home meds consisted of 10-12 percocets along with a 12 pack a day. Then the really good news was that his Mom was his LPN for the two days that I was there. Nobody knows how she was able to be his LPN but she was. She crossed the line very much so by lining up his PT visits, ordering me to get his meds at a certain time, do his dressing right now, interfering with the dr's decision on d/c and ordered meds, and giving her son an enema that wasn't even ordered to be given. Since the dr allowed him to stay an extra day, he decided to give him a banana bag since he was probably going through DTs. The mom did not like this at all and cried when she found out that the dr thought her son was alcoholic and abuser of drugs. It was an interesting week!! I did get to give a suppository for the first and that was fun. While I was giving it, his wife was making fun of him having someone's finger up his butt. Yeah it was a fun week!!
