Terrible night duty!

another night shift just ended... my 3 days of night duty really kill me! i work until i felt like dying... this time i had to take care of all the violent and uncooperative patients... me and my colleague had a hard time dealing with the patients.... all trying to climb out of bed , somemore they are very high risk for fall... one of them was the very typical geriatric patient, demented and high risk of fall, behaves strangely only during at night, very violent, trying to kick and beat us..... when my colleague tried to take his temperature, he said my colleague wanted to murder him....... when i walked towards, he said i'm the 'helper' of the murderer... what the hell? he became very agitated and no choice we had to restrain him.... 4 persons to restrain an elderly... haiz.. he was so strong! guess what, after we tied him down, he calm down a lot... even able to follow our instructions! some patients become more violent and agitated if they are restrained but this patient was totally different... i find it very strange, i guess this patient enjoyed being tied down... haha.. if we never tie him he would definitely climb or even jump out of bed and fall down...

my 3 nights kept entertaining all this 'nonsense' created by patients... one of the patients also almost the same, kept coming out of bed... we caught him walking towards the centre counter of the ward with his blood dripping all over the floor because he pulled out his intravenous drip!
oh my god, the important thing is he can't even walk properly ! he was almost going to fall when we saw him! luckily he never fall down... if not, i think i can go and kill myself! haiz...

people think that night shift is very relaxing but i can tell you that it is wrong! i didn't even have ONE minute of rest! damn tiring and stressful!

okay, enough of my 'complaints'....

I HATE MY JOB!!!
