I fainted

I'm sorry to read of your bad day ... but at least it appears you have learned several valuable life lessons.

Take care ... and try to find out the results of any tests done ,,, just in case.

I fainted once in nursing school.

I was known as the girl with the iron stomach. I had watched open heart surgery, had been to bris, had worked crime scene previously in my life.

So one day during OB/Nursery/PP rotation, I get pulled to the nursery. I had not had breakfast, and get placed in the hottest room in the hospital. And in a county (read charity) hospital there were two students for about 20 babies. Basically go down the line, take vitals , change diaper, feed/take t mom to breastfeed, return, bath, and do it all over again.

So at about 1330, (and I hadn't had lunch either), the MD decides to do some circs, so I prep the baby and assist. Well, as soon as that little baby boy was uncovered and started to cry, I started to break out in a cold sweat, the room started to spin, and I had the thought "do not fall in the sterile field".

When I came to , they had checked my bloodsugar and it was registering "low" too low to be readable.

I learned a valuable lesson, and never let myself go too long without at least having a few crackers. Oh, and never fall into the sterile field.

If a student (or employee) needs medical assistance at my hospital ... there is a bill generated just as there is for any emergency care from ambulances at accidents, etc. It is assumed that the student/employee will be responisble for the health care services provided. It's actally in our contracts with the schools who come to our hospital -- that the school and/or student will pay for any care received.

If you were registered as a patient, used supplies, etc. someone has to pay for those things -- and there will be a bill paid by someone. Your school should have a policy on that. I recommend checking with them to find out their policy about how those bills are handled before you make any assumptions.

did u see the eye of fire (sauron) when u were out or feel lord vader's sith choke hold, ha, couldn't resist with ur username.

nice to hear ur ok and may the force b with u.

once you are registered, a bill is generated. Whether you waited for test results or not.
