That is immediately my next thought. It's like, well, this guy's wild. He probably somehow got his oven mitt hands on it and ripped it out. So I pull back the blanket. The catheter is out. It's just like sitting on his bed between his legs. But the balloon is deflated, which is good. I'm just kind of processing this as I'm seeing it. I'm like, well, I guess you didn't rip it out.

But I noticed that the side port is gone. So what I realized, because he had the chest strap on, but his head at the bed was elevated. He had gotten the catheter in his mouth.

And he had chewed off the side port. Because of that, the balloon deflated on its own. So that's good. He didn't rip it right out of his penis. But then he grabbed the catheter in his mouth with his teeth and ripped it out of his penis. Jesus! Why? Why? Why?

That was a few months on the job. Oh, boy. That was my introduction to nursing and neuro-nursing.

Yes, that's what I loved about working there is some of them were there for months and we're acute. So we're supposed to medically stabilize them. And then the ones that need further neurological rehab would go to another facility in our city. But our doctors were really good at like, hey, so-and-so is doing so good. You should hear. But this guy recovered fast.

I really loved it. I love the chaos. So I moved to intensive care this year and it's a lot of the same patients where they started before I ever saw them on my unit. This is where they began. But it's definitely a lot. It definitely tests your patience. When I started at ICU, I was like, I don't think I'm really burnt out. I think I just want to change.
