OMG your patient... X'D But I know that... I work in a service
center and have to talk to people all the time. x.x I can tell a
lot of stories about (sometimes even very mean and horrible)
customers. ^^°
And even strange things, but I totally know it when they don't
answer your question at all and tell you something completely
different and you start to ask them again and again until they
finally answer you. X'D Goood.

I have to be. I can't tell patients to fuck off. XD (Imagine
you're in the hospital, loopy on medication and suddenly the
staff starts yelling at you for being stupid or slow. That would
be veeery awkward.) Generally I take it with humour when they're
just confused. What I don't like is angry undiscerning patients.
(Those that are just unhappy and diss you for not being able to
cure them - why sorry you smoked for forty years, drank booze
every night and have cancer now. I'm really surprised and I feel
oh so very sorry. It's not like I make you suffer on purpose,
I'm actually trying to help, but I don't have a magic wand to
swing. (There are some that go outside smoking while hanging on
an oxygen tank, too. The real smart ones.))
Although serving customers is probably worse, I only used to do
weekend shifts and holidays at a petrol station and that already
accounts for awkward stories. Now I have at least some position
of power in my function... (unless they happen to be VIP)
How are you guys holding up with the heat? Since Europe is
practically fried. XD How's it elsewhere?
*goes hoping for a thunderstorm tonight*

IT'S AMERICA DAYYY!!!! *doesn't actually care about holidays*
It's supposed to thunderstorm here tonight and it's not that hot
today. I don't have any family where I live, so I'm staying
inside my air conditioned room aaaaall day. Ain't no heat gonna
bother me!
Also those patient stories reminded me, when I was in the
hospital after my surgery I was super out of it but tried to be
straightforward and thanked my nurses every time they came in
(except the one time that they didn't give me water when I was
begging for it). I even told my doctor I was going to swear in
his face when he pulled my drain tubes out and told my nurse I
was going to pass out when she was walking me back the five feet
from the bathroom to my bed.
I just remembered, my sister was there with me and she helped me
get to the bathroom when I needed (she watched the nurses who
helped me before so she'd unhook the right things, smart girl!)
and one of the times my gown came open in the back (they never
retied it after checking up on me and I couldn't reach behind
myself to tie it... also I was totally naked underneath) and I
was like "Allyson... my gown just came open." and without a
moment of hesitation she just says "They like it." and I nearly
peed myself laughing. (Thank god I didn't ACTUALLY pee myself
laughing.)

I envy you, there's no storm coming here, at least not yet. I
can still hope, it feels like it got even warmer during the last
hour. And it's evening.
I even stooped as low as wearing a flimsy dress. *would usually
rather be caught dead than wearing a dress*
Right... happy national day then!
Taking this stuff with humour is always good. You gotta watch
out a bit for how people tick, but since I get to undress people
for examination, I sometimes make jokes along that line. Tell
them to show me their new scars, brag a little or something like
that. XD It's far better than gingerly picking around on the
gown and obviously/bashfully look away. I've seen that happening
before and it makes situations very uncomfortable for all sides.
- But honestly, while I work I don't look at anything I don't
need looking at, no matter how young or potentially sexy my
patients are.
(Though, you'd be surprised how willingly some people undress
before me. I've had my fair share of turning around to get some
material and then find my patients practically naked next to the
examination table. While I thought I'd be fine working around
the bra... And in those cases I really just asked them to take
off their shirt.)
And I bet the nurses liked your sister. XD
I hope though your surgery went well and you're all good now. ^^
Ah man, and now I have to convince my flatmate's dog to go out
to pee. Poor guy's been just lying around in that heat.

Ha, one thing I've learned in massage school and being a patient
is that it usually works in your favor to tell people what to
leave ON... Less awkward, but still not foolproof. (At least I
feel less nervous at appointments when I'm told what to leave
on...) And my surgery was a couple years ago so I'm healed now,
but damn, did I have a lot of complications with it! Still glad
I got it, but man... I learned that my body won't make scar
tissue right anymore! All my scars are even softer than my
normal skin. That's not supposed to happen, skin! Do your job! I
won't go on forever about it, though. Not everyone is keen to
read about surgery and wound healing.

The heat is pretty bad where I am. I had volunteering today
where I was outside the whole time, and it was 97 degrees! I
didn't really feel it after a while. I'm constantly wearing
jeans and a jacket (I wore a jacket to the beach yesterday, I
always have one) so I feel like I made it worse on myself a bit.

What the hell is wrong with your body ;_; *gives you normal scar
tissue*
[member=59]Ghosty[/member]
Oh god... o.o Don't wear a jacket when it's so hot... but I feel
you there. I don't like wearing t-shirts at all, I prefer
wearing jackets, because I like to put my money and keys in my
pockets. And I have a slight sun allergy, so it's better to wear
long clothes. It's super hot. x.x Beeh...
We had 37-38° C yesterday and today 35-36° C ... But I don't
really feel the difference. XD Ok, since I'm still sick, I'm
inside and at home all the time and I have 29° C right now, so
it's still better than outside, but I'm melting. x_X I took a
shower not even 20 minutes ago and I could do it again right
now. X'D
I don't even have an electric fan, I guess I should go and buy
one tomorrow. x_X

@Ahiku *throws a fan at you* TAKE IT!!! Also I think what's
wrong with my body is all my connective tissue. That's what
everything is pointing to, which would explain why I can bend
back a lot of my joints! I still have to get a diagnosis for it,
though. Ugh I'm probably gonna get wrinkles really fast. I'll
just have to steal my mom's wrinkle cream, or as she calls it,
her "spackle."

*catches fan* Thank you! >,< I bought one today... but it's much
cooler since we had a storm yesterday evening. X'D One time, the
thunder was so loud that the car alarms went off. o_o° Scary.
And the lightnings came sometimes 2-3 per second. I pulled all
plugs out... especially of my cable modem... (usually I don't do
that...otherwise no one can call me ^^°) But the TV picture
froze (every channel)...apart from our super lame city channel,
so I did it just in case... x.x
It's 3 degree cooler in my room now. Still 26,5 degree Celsius,
but it's somehow really refreshing. ^^°
[member=18]Weisel[/member]
Why is it so hard for them to diagnose something then? >_<
Ahh... I hope you won't get wrinkles... o.o *pours a bottle of
anti wrinkle lotion on top of your head* Spackle...? X'D

It was 90 degrees here (32 for you Celsius folks) and super
humid and sunny... I did not go outside at all. I love my air
conditioner, I love it so much... *weeps* At least it's going to
storm later and cool down a little for the week.
@Ahiku doctors think I'm crazy and don't want to admit that they
just don't know what's wrong with me. I'm screwed. And
seriously, I probably need to look into getting something for
wrinkles. I'm barely an adult and my eyes have wrinkles around
them. It really brings out the purple under my eyes. (Also while
I was looking at my eyes, I realized that my right eye muscles
are always twitching... Every couple seconds something twitches
out of my control. Lord, do I look unwell...) And yes, my mom
calls her wrinkle cream her spackle because it literally fills
in all of her wrinkles so she can put her foundation on. She is
spackling her face. Cosmetic spackle. *smears it all over my
face*
