Gotta love an admit like this! Schizo, homeless. Found down on Christmas. Please leave homeless people alone. This man's Christmas gift may have been to finally die. Stage 4 neck cancer is not something you want to continue living with. Not to mention that now we are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a man who refuses to let us take care of the VERY large mass on his neck that is oozing and reeking, who will probably die without invasive care. So what do we do? Let's put a central line and feed him through his IV for about a thousand dollars a bag. Give him a bag a day. Maybe place a PEG tube. I pray I never, never, ever have to have a PEG tube. Life just goes so down hill from there, and stays down. Being alive but not "living." Not my idea of fun.
And to top it all off, the nurse giving report tells me he likes to drink from his urinal!!!!
I am glad it is not me. But if I ever get to that point, please do not revive me!
For now it is good to be me though, because he will not arrive on my floor until after 7....that means I will already be done and if I am really luck will not even have to meet the man. That is a problem for night shift!
