Today we a little hectic and pretty busy! Sadly, we did have a patient come in that was experiencing domestic violence abuse. It was very sad to see her come in two days in a row. The first day she had a bruise around her eye, and she insisted to the nurse that she had fallen. However, the very next day she came in again as a drug overdose. She was too scared to leave her husband that she purposely overdosed on drugs. The craziest part was that she had about $12,000 wrapped away in her purse because she was trying to leave her husband in a hurry. I left the ER the other day with a heavy heart as the police were coming in to talk with her and take statements, and she was probably terrified. At least now she is in better hands, and the hospital will help get back on her feet again and in better health. That's the only reason those nurses keep pushing, and it's an amazing sight.
