gomer (get out of my emergency room) elderly, incontinent, confused patient that the nursing home needed a break from and called the ambulance to the er.

I saw my first person dying and then dead when i was 18, just starting nursing school and working as an aide. When the woman died i freaked out, ran out of the room and locked myself in the bathroom. I felt like i was going to vomit and was shaking like a leaf. It took the head nurse 30 mins to talk me out of the bathroom. And i still became a nurse in the busiest surgical icu on Long Island
