Marshall Jones’ MRSA Story

Nurse Mary Beth is back again, and is an idiot. I guess she could be overworked, but I think she is just tired of her job and going through the motions. I popped awake at 5 am this morning, when my subconscious heard her giving Marshall a shot of Morphine. 2 days after that had been removed from his orders. GEEZ. I was so angry with her.

I called the charge nurse about the poor care in this unit, and she told me that these 2 nurses would no longer “care” for Marshall. Thank God.

No dialysis today, and no urge to urinate either.

Marshalls Blood Glucose was dangerously low this morning, 30 (should be 100). Mary Beth gave him a dextrose injection and he was put on IV dextrose. Glucose went up to 110, but lowered the rest of the day (down to about 60). EAT!

He ate a little bit more today, CB brought him a Sausage, Egg and Cheese biscuit from McDonalds, he ate a little of it.

They started him on Zyvox antibiotic today, and it caused his blood glucose to jump up to 330.
