Traveling the E.R

Story one

Astonishing things happen in the hospital. Especially in E.R, where my father works. The hospital is very interesting, but is the home of most things horrible...
  Last year (2015) in April at the Chesapeake Regional Medical Center, while my dad was assisting another patient, he got called away with some other nurses to help a man who had just been brought in the E.R, with a flesh-eating-bacteria inside of him. He looked red and icky all over an was in an insane amount of pain.
  What happened was that this man was walking through a junkyard, when he unexpectedly got poked in the stomach with a rusty nail, and received the disease called necrotizing fasciitis. It eats everything from the epidermis to the top layer of skin. When the man got to the hospital, it took my dad and a few other nurses to wrap the exposed parts of the patients body in bandages. Next, he got hooked up to a PCA pump that gave him a strong medicine: Morphine.
  My father said that this task was quite easy since he wasn't alone and that he wasn't as squeamish as some of the other nurses in the hospital. He said that he's so un-squeamish that he could eat a sandwich during some procedures         and the only the only thing he would be afraid of is dropping ham into the patients body mid-operation.
  My father always feels absolutely wonderful to be able to help someone(obviously). Everyone at the hospital was fascinated to see such a sight, but also felt very bad, for the man was in great pain, and it was hard to move him around.
  Doctors and nurses need to care most about patient and staff saftey, infection control, and procedure. But in the end everything turned out fine.

My dad also added some vocabulary

Trama- is when someone comes in the E.R with broken bones, bleeding, or an unknown disease, etc.

Cardiac Alert-is when someone has a heart attack and they need help

CPR-stands for cardiac pulmonary resuscitation

DNR-is the opposite of CPR and stands for do not resuscitate

  My father also added that, every time they use CPR it might break some of the patients ribs. He also said that fake bones are made of metal alloys, ceramic material, or strong plastic parts, then are connected to your real bones by acrylic cement

The End

I hope you didn't get bored to death or worse, thank you for reading if you do .
