I'd guess.<BR/><BR/>I like the headline *snigger* You only get three 3 sessions pa? That's harsh - evidently those who create such rules don't have to lift 21 stone drunks off the floor every shift. Mind you, there is only so much money to go around I suppose.<BR/><BR/>I uploaded a few photos from my Viennese wanderings a few days ago if you want to have a look :) No pressure, I know you're busy!<BR/><BR/>Liv xxx<BR/>PS. I also like it when osteos crack your back. *crrrrrunch* *blood rushes back to creaky joints* *sigh of relief*. Is a bit nerve-wracking though, especially around the next area.loveinviennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08061067320547283159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-3316075834439627172008-10-19T16:23:00.000+00:002008-10-19T16:23:00.000+00:00Yeah - maybe I'll do that one next week! The last ...Yeah - maybe I'll do that one next week! The last couple of shifts have been dominated by drunken assaults, and they blur after a while.<BR/><BR/>I did see an osteopath last year. It was great, but I used up my 3 free sessions pa, and I'm too tight to fund any more (Headline: Credit Crunch wins over Back Crunch). I love it when they crack your back. It makes me laugh. Nerves, probably. <BR/><BR/>;)<BR/><BR/>SxSpence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-83076271462996958522008-10-18T20:44:00.000+00:002008-10-18T20:44:00.000+00:00Sounds like quite a story, lifting a patient off a...Sounds like quite a story, lifting a patient off a yacht! A future post perhaps? :) Evidently heavy patients are like many things, including buses, you don't see any of *insertthinghere* for ages and then 4 come along at once...<BR/><BR/>Might want to get off to a physio or osteopath... I'm sure you know that the damage isn't always immediately noticeable but three weeks down the line you'll bend over, something with go *crunch-click* in a most distressing manner and you'll start lurching around like Frankenstein's monster... amusing as this is for various family members, it's rather painful (and embarrassing when you have to go up the stairs backwards) :P Comments such as 'Strike up number two, love' abound...<BR/><BR/>Liv xxxloveinviennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08061067320547283159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-91271532115898899122008-10-18T14:21:00.000+00:002008-10-18T14:21:00.000+00:00We had quite a few heavy patients that shift.

It was probably an OD on quetiapine - which can give you a tachycardia as well as sedating, apparently. <BR/><BR/>I think the key workers would've helped with the lift, but it's quite a tricky thing, carrying someone down stairs, especially if they're heavy, so we wouldn't have risked it even if they'd offered. The only time I've accepted lots of help with a lift was getting an unco patient from off a yacht! Eech!<BR/><BR/>:|<BR/><BR/>xxSpence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-26662437201961537312008-10-17T19:00:00.000+00:002008-10-17T19:00:00.000+00:00And then you spent the rest of the day with a back...And then you spent the rest of the day with a back which rattled like a set of castanets every time you bent over to do something... know that feeling! I'm not impressed by the other workers, couldn't they have given you a hand with the chair?! I suppose they did carry your bags...<BR/><BR/>Hope Brad (and you two) turned out the be ok :)<BR/><BR/>Liv xxxloveinviennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08061067320547283159noreply@blogger.com
