The other night, I had my first Aid's patient. He was in his mid 20's. We had to glove, gown and mask to go in and see him, but for his sake, not ours. He was sweet and polite and I liked him. I can't believe thought, that even people working in the medical field, they are still ignorant when it comes to Aids. A couple of workers refused to go in his room. I was more than a little surprised. This patient had no open sores, didn't cough phlegm, etc, etc. I felt really bad for him because he's in isolation too.
Last night, a prisoner came in with wrist and ankle shanks and two guards. He was a young guy. When I came to get him out of the ER to bring him up to surgery, he got in the wheelchair and looked back at me and said, I may be in shackles, but don't worry, I won't kill yah. I said, uh thanks, dude, 'preciate that. Looked at the guard who just nodded. Ok then, took him upstairs and brought him to his room, where the guard shackled him to the bed. Have no idea why he was in jail, just that he was dangerous.
