Why do my x-ray techs always look like this...

Bahaha really? Are you a nurse? Or doc? It seems wherever I go nurses an xray techs are always at odds with each other. Where I work isn't too bad but we still butt heads from time to time.

LOL. Just a patient. I must emit some evil aura. Everyone I encounter in the medical profession seems to delight in administering me pain. Perhaps if I ever kept my mouth shut and stopped with the wisecracks.... Na! :)

I remember once I had a procedure done in a hospital that required an overnight stay. I was dying of hunger and wanted something to eat. The nurses said I couldn’t have anything until the doctor approved it, but the doctor went home so I would have to go hungry. It was a minor procedure and I felt fine. I even tried bribing everyone I saw to get me something to eat... the nurses, x-tray techs, blood-sucking vampires and even visitors. Nothing worked. Finally I ordered a delivery pizza. I gave instructions to bring it to my room and not leave it at the nurses station (but that’s what the delivery guy did). About eight nurses came into my room at one time eating my pizza, laughing and telling me how good it was... and that I owed $20. They had a grand old time at my expense.

...I'm an RN that works in an Infirmary in a men's Medium Security Prison....we get along well with our techs when they're on-site...they travel, so they're not on grounds everyday....

This isn’t exactly a selfie but I want you guys to see someone. Those of you who have followed my ramblings on this board know that I had a drug problem resulting in one child being adopted out, and two being placed in the custody of their (abusive and still using) father. I managed to keep my eldest and my youngest, and I’m very much not using drugs anymore. It’s been about nine years since my daughter and son, Timothy and Emma, were taken from me. My daughter is at the preteen age now, and there are a lot of FaceTime calls with typical preteen drama, but most of all she wants me to visit her and her brother. Her father will allow it and even offers to pay part of my way. Here’s the problem: they live at the opposite end of the country in a little town with no hotels within an hour and a half. I’m expected to stay with under a roof with a man who abused me physically and emotionally for years, and has threatened to kill me on many occasions. I can’t do that, especially since I’d have to bring my three year old, Alex. I’ve tried explaining to Emma that I just don’t have the money for a plane ticket for Alex and I, a rental car, and a hotel, but she says “dad says it’s fine for you to stay here”
He won’t let her or my son Tim come here for a visit though.
I don’t want to have to explain to Emma why I don’t feel comfortable staying at her house.
Anyway, this is a daily struggle for me and a MAJOR source of guilt. I needed to vent about it with people I trust. She and I did FaceTime tonight and she sent me this selfie. Isn’t she gorgeous?
