He Was Going To Pee On Himself!
Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
I was at our hospice with a young twenty-year-old shadow named Nellie. A shadow is a new hospice volunteer who shadows an experienced volunteer to smooth their transition into the environment. Nellie is a very nice young lady who has an interest in becoming a doctor.
We asked the nurses on who we could visit and they mentioned the patient right behind us. So we turn around and I enter the room with Nellie right behind me. When we walked into the room we could tell right away that the patient was a little agitated!
He is wiggling around in his bed and then started to get out of bed! The patient is a middle-aged man. I quickly ask the patient what the problem he was experiencing. He said that he had to pee very badly!
He tells me that he is going to pee on himself! I tell the patient not to get up because he is a fall risk.
I turn and tell his nurse to come right away! His nurse is a man named Yannick, an immigrant from the country of Cameroon. He slowly walks over which kind of annoyed me. The patient was in very great distress! I told the patient that if he has to go he can go in his bed and that can all be cleaned up!
I look at Nellie and she is very nervous and has a scared look of her face! All I could think of was that Nellie was getting a little taste of medicine! With Yannick in the room now and he was going to escort the patient to the bathroom just feet away, I notion to Nellie that we need to leave.
I walk out of the room with Nellie at me heels. She was very nervous and very happy to get out of there! I just smiled at her and know that it was a very good learning experience for her!
