Spoil my day...

As you all know,
Today is Saturday..
I'm on morning shift today..

Saturday mornings in the ward are usually the calmest..
The day went off being good, everyone did their duties well..

Quite busy at times but manageable..
I was in a good mood until suddenly someone did something which I cant tolerate at all!!

I was waiting for a patient to be back from the imaging department..
I was going to give her an insulin injection and a medicine..

Since her diet tray is on her table top, so I placed the UNOPENED sachet of medication in a MEDICATION CUP aside in the diet tray..

As I'm managing some admission at the other bed, one of the attendant came into the bay to collect diet trays as it had passed lunch time..
After managing the admission, I noticed that the tray of diet was gone, together with the medicine!!
I was shocked!! Totally!
I went to her, and indeed she threw all the food in the tray into a plastic bag together with the medication..
I query her why she threw it, she just acted calm and said I can get another one..

Later, the patient came back..
I gave her the insulin, but she refused the medication..
Later before I left, she asked me for her lunch..
I was shocked, second time! She haven't eaten yet???
That tray of diet was untouched??

I was so frustrated!!
I cant face that attendant so I asked my friend to request a diet from her..
In the end, she only ordered some bread and milo for her!

I cant tolerate this!
You might think that it's just a tray of diet, why make a fuss out of it?

You will know when you look at the patient's face..
She was starving! Asking where is her diet..
She was so lethargy..
When the bread was served, she was glad and was really enjoying the food..
This shows how hungry she actually was..
And she was just injected with insulin!

And I did complain this matter to my college..
I shall not let this pass..

A nurse's job include a lot of aspect..
From major, emergency procedures to minor, simple tasks..

A nurse's job is to care.
I am a nurse.
If I don't care, who else cares?
