Dr. Kavorkian

I had one night off work, last night. We took the kids out to eat, and went to the movies and saw "The Golden Compass." I liked it way more than I thought I would. Really good movie. Can't wait for the next one. Once again, scheduled for a lot of shifts, although have Fri and Sat off this weekend. Its just the same shit different day with Dr. Dumbass here. I have never worked with a doctor this arrogant or this stupid, and that is a very dangerous combination. The patients are suffering because of him, and we are trying to stay sane. I'm sure he wants all of us to leave, and alot of nurses have left because of him. Darcy and I are the only 2 night nurses left, and Darcy put her transfer notice in. I can't leave cause I haven't been here 6 months. But I need the overtime - and it is killer - the job is much easier than county, so I will suck it up - the amount of money they are paying me is worth putting up with his sorry ass. Get this - this is a 45 year old man, OBGYN, who has a freaking MySpace. Who talks about getting his "sexy" 5 year old daughter a boob job and taking her to the bar, and oh so many medical things that I can't type publicly. He is the only doctor here, and is drinking buddies with management. So there ya go. When Karma comes back to this man I don't want to be anywhere near him. The aftershocks may kill me.

Other than that, there have been alot of opportunities recently to be a patient advocate, and I feel like I have made a difference in my patients live's. This is rewarding. Maybe I am here for a reason.

Still need to get a Christmas tree and shop.

I got an email and pictures from my friend Kris. I looked at them and didn't even recognize her. OMG she has lost so much weight. She said she was going to, but I haven't seen her and OMG. She looks so good.

Debbie - I haven't written to you yet. My heart goes out to you. I am so very sorry. I can't personally imagine, but I can imagine clearer than most people - I've been the nurse. I read your post and cried. If you need anything - anything - please let me know. I know theres nothing that can be said or really done. But if I can help you or Kelly at all, please please let me know.
