Finish night shift this morning. It was super tiring. Admission wasn't much but the patients is breaking our nerves. There is this one old lady, lets name her Lady C. She is a Chinese lady about the age of 60 to 70. She had been in and out the hospital often. She has a weak heart which put her on fluid restriction but she is not compliance on fluid restriction eventually becoming overload. She is super duper annoying. No one can ignore her presence. We always put patient prone to fall or old age in bed with side rail. This will prevent them from falling off the bed while they turn. This particular Lady shouts her lung out asking us to place the side rail down. It's not that we can't place the side rail down but we were afraid that she might fall. She is one of those patients with butt-head. She wanted us to place the rail down so that she can go to toilet on her own. That is dangerous as Lady C have weak limbs due to old age and heavy body weight. So we always put patients like this on pampers and urinary catheter to reduce the needs of them going to toilet and eventually prevents fall. When we stop Lady C from going to the toilet by having the side rail up, she when into fits, shouted at everyone all night. Everyone in Cubicle 5 can't sleep the whole night. I feel like slapping her many times but fortunately I get hold of myself and just leave her. Nowadays I react to annoying patients differently. I tend to just look at them and stare blankly. This makes them even more annoying than I'm.

I promised one of my senior that I shall stop scolding patients when she leave the ward for good. I am known for my bad temper. I throw fits a lot at home and during college. I promise myself I shall be a better person and shall change. Currently on the road to succeeding controlling my temper.
