We got some crazy nursing stories. I've been a nurse now for six and a half years. I came into this field. I had no family that worked in health care. I had absolutely no idea what to expect. So that's just kind of a preface to say how ignorant and naive I was to what this job was really like. But yeah, this story takes place on the first job I had.

And it's a job I had up until last year, actually. I took the job right out of graduation at an inpatient neurology and neurosurgery ward at our hospital. So dealt with a ton of strokes, seizures, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, brain cancer, spine cancer, anything like that. Really heavy, but got to see some pretty amazing stuff.

Regarding kind of where I'm from, we do have a really bad epidemic of gang violence here. Oh, really? Yeah, a lot of the prairies. And my hospital is the level one trauma center for our province, so we get to see it all. So you get to see some horrific, senseless acts of violence and assaults. Really sad, really awful, but medically, I got to say, you get to see some pretty cool stuff.

So I worked that job for six years. And to this day, the patient I'm going to tell you about is probably the most wild patient I've ever seen.
