Pain Blocks etc..

Worked last Wednesday to my other gig pain mngt, circulating assisting with pain mngt procedures. Boy I have to say I worked with Mr Hyde that day. It doesn't take much to make that doc ticked! He was very frustrated he couldn't get the shots he wants, as soon as he he couldn't see the image he wants,needles were flying bouncing off the walls into the sharps container. I usually give him the meds he needed by loading it into a separate syringe and giving it to him under sterile technique. He knows our routine, he holds still I do maneuver of shooting my needle into his sterile syringe, he tapped my needle about three times and when it wouldn't go in, he sighed and rolled his eyes, leaned on the wall and watched me impatiently as I do our usual ritual, I swear he was acting like a 3 year old!! It was funny to watch because he gets so frustrated about the simplest thing, he was flying off the handle so fast!! And it didn't end there, next we have this patient who was about 379#s, even the longest needle I have didn't even reach where he needed it. He was short like 1.5" to the spot, well that didn't help his bipolar mood, he continues to channel his frustration to the gauze, needles & syringes, you can hear him slam it to the table throwing things around in frustration, throwing his head back, throwing his hands up in the air and rolling his eyes, he really acts like his got some psyche issues, I think he needs to increase his meds if he is talking any in order to handle simple stress like that. Why did I say he might be bipolar? Because after each procedure before he exits the O.R. he'll say to the patient, "good job, you did well" and in between procedure while we are prepping for the next one he'll pop his head in the OR and talk about random things to us with a wide grin ear-to-ear like nothing happened!! LOL!! me and my colleague just look at each other trying not to laugh or not to show our "amazement" at his bizarre behavior.
FYI: He just came back from a week vacation, whew!! LOL!! :)
