A patient had a cardiac arrest while I was on the ward today. Granted, I don't have anything to do with it except stay out of the way, but in my nearly 2 years at the hospital I've not seen it happen before. And something you don't realise off TV shows like Casualty and ER and crap is just how HARD you have to work to give chest compressions - according to a friend, if you break ribs it just means you've done it right. (I always knew you had to push pretty forcefully as I've had basic first aid training and we all took turns at jumping up and down on the Resusci-annie (or however you spell it) but I've never seen it for real before today.)

In other news, I have no other news. My creativity is at a low ebb, and I feel uninspired, unmotivated, and just... bluh. :( I just have Ivy yelling in my ear about how she wants to be "WITH" someone, and I can't find anyone she CAN be with (well, not right now, anyway, since Riiva's a long way down the line). Geh. ...I'm noticing a theme here.
