i'm utterly exhausted.
went to bed at 1:30am, fell asleep sometime after 2:30am.
woke up at 7:15
went to bellevue hospital to get advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) training. lectures, practicals, and exams took the entire day, i just got off, approx 4:30. i was falling asleep all day, struggling to try to pay attention. it's not hard to pass or anything, but i kept thinking, what if this situation happened, and i was the only one there? would i be able to remember what to do? would i have the confidence to say, YES, i have ACLS training, i will take charge here. you do this and that. and just be able to direct people?
i learned how to deal with stroke pts, acute MI (heart attack) pts, people who've stopped breathing, who no longer have pulse, etc. also, how to lead in a "code." (the stuff in ER, where we shock people and push drugs into their IVs)
i got all into it, yelling, "clear!" pretty loudly, because i was trying to make it as realistic as i could in my mind. i yelled out orders for the drugs to the nurse who was testing me and all. i think she was a little taken aback at how i attacked the practical and the energy i put into it.
last year, when we were doing CPR, i heard the instructor say that it was ok to break a few ribs while doing CPR. what i failed to hear was that compressions should only be 1.5-2 inches. so when i started doing chest compressions, i was really shoving into the mannequin's chest. the instructor jumped out of his chair, a little panicked, and said, "whoa, whoa! hercules! what do you think you are doing?! you're gonna kill the guy!"
well, now i have very little in me. i'm going to try to take a nap, then head over to RCC for STORM youth group. i haven't seen my youth group kids in 2 weeks. i missed them alot. unfortunately, i will only be able to see them for a little while, because i will be leaving to go to yet another wedding at 9pm.
we are going to drive to virginia, where a close friend and classmate here at NYU SOM is getting married. i'm so happy for him and e. CONGRATS, guys!!!
5 hrs on the road. whew. my head is feeling a sqeezing pressure, and i feel like i'm going to collapse.
