~ 1st April... ~
8:47:00 pm
It's the 1st of April and it's also April Fool's Day... But whatever I'm typing today, is not any April Fool's joke...
1) 'Secret Admirer' is no longer a secret... I mean, I've found out who actually sent me those flowers... But I'm not gonna reveal the person's identity... Let it forever remain a secret... *Hee*...
2) I've witnessed my patient took his very last breath today... It was totally unexpected... After my colleague told me to check his SpO2 machine that was beeping, I went over to check it out...
Saw him breath in, held on to his breath for 5-6 secs before letting it go for the last time... Felt his hand that was cold, trying to find another SpO2 and at the same time, looking if he is still breathing (cuz there was once when we actually had a false alarm when we thought that patient had stopped breathing and we ended up pushing the E-trolley over and realised that patient was still breathing at a very slow rate)...
When I realised that patient was no longer breathing, quickly took his Dynamap to take his BP and then, rushed over to push the E-trolley into the cubicle...
It was kinda unexpected that patient would go so soon... But anyway, the patient was prepared to go if he had to, as what SN Susan, the Palliative Nurse, told me...
3) Well, I'm gonna keep mum on this first... =)
