From an employee at the ER to Patient in the ER

ER "visit"

February 18,2015


 Today has really been a horrible day, from the moment I woke up. I awakened to a pounding headache and much to my dismay never went away all morning. It got so bad I started vomiting through the morning, and finally it got so bad, I was seeing blurred vision, and the top of my head was going to blow off. I was experiencing my first real migraine, and it was the worst experience of my life, especially trying to suck it up and keep working through it. Doing my job actually got to the point where I couldn't even do it. So I went up and checked into the ER and became a patient, crossing over into a another "first" since prolly the early 90's/. I am glad I work in the ER and not a constant patient. I saw it from the other side of the glass. I am so grateful for my 2 nurses Kim, and Barbara, who took so good care of me, they were amazing, and I will say we have some amazing nurses, I know the other nurses that I work with on a daily basis would have performed just as well, just cause us day crew roll like that. Dr. Kriezelman, though I have not worked much with him, was an amazing doctor, and was super awesome in taking care of me, and being thorough. I also want to thank Charlotte, and Nancy for doing a fine job getting me into the ER. Overall as horrible as it was, I am glad I was were I was. I am now home, in bed, relaxing, and honestly enjoying the fact I have no mirgraine, and quite happy about that. Will return to work tomorrow happy, and ready to work, even though my boss is not very happy with me, and I am sure a lecture is in order, but it will be worth it, for the pain I went through today.

Til Next Time, 

Kory
