A Nurse's syringe gone the wrong way

Hello my dear friends. Hope you all had a beautiful Monday. Wishing you all a more productive week ahead. Well, just this morning, I remembered a past experience again. I guess by now most of you must've already observed that I am more of storyteller than a writer. Lol

Thank you 🙏

Nurse eviko was one of the three nurses who were stationed at the sick bay of the college where I had a one year pre-degree program before proceeding to the university.

This particular nurse was very mean and had very little patience towards her patients. She lacked the comeliness, kindness and empathy that a professional nurse would possess. Any student who was unfortunate enough to fall ill when she was on shift would definitely become more upset after nurse eviko had attended to them. You'd probably curse the injury or illness that had brought about such an unpleasant encounter with a fiery and foul-mouthed nurse.

During a lesson on blood and body fluid, we were instructed by the course lecturer to collect a specimen of our blood from the school's clinic which we would analyse at the school's laboratory. This practical would be included in our academic assessment.

I was quite unlucky to have nurse eviko attend to me as the other nurse was already taking the blood sample of a student. The blood volume to be taken was expected to be very minimal and shouldn't exceeded a few millimeters. But Nurse eviko kept draining my blood into the big syringe . This made me very angry and I was tempted to ask her weather she had other plans. She started screaming insults at me, saying that I was insinuating that she wanted to drink my blood. I didn't reply her neither did I ask for her pardon, because that's exactly what I believed she was a (w**h).

In one football game, a student had sustained quite a serious injury. Unfortunately for him, the first person he met at the clinic was this notorious nurse. The pains was unbearable as nurse eviko cleaned the wounds with a type of force you would exercise when washing a very dirty dish. Nurse eviko would scream at him to keep his mouth shut as he cried like a child. The other students could only shake their head in sympathy as they tried to console their friend. A younger nurse had to come out from a nearby ward as a result of the constant screams. She offered some soothing words to the injured boy. Nurse eviko still didn't care..

Thank goodness I wasn't a regular visitor to the sickbay as I don't seldom fall sick . Alot of students who had received intramuscular injections from this nurse have complained of excruciating pains that sometimes render them sore for a day or too. Unlike the younger nurses who would make you feel relax and calm before admistering the needle, nurse eviko never has time for that. Infact, she would not even dab the spot with iodine before piercing you with the ferocious needle. You might even have have an heart attack first just by watching her walk towards you, needle in hand and a murderous look on her face.

Before completing my programme, nurse eviko did something terrible that would change the life of a young student forever. It turns out that this sick girl had a very bad fear for the needle and couldn't just pull herself together when she was about to be injected. This really got on the nurse nerves as the girl was wasting her time. Out of anger, nurse eviko viciously stabbed her with the syringe.

Ladi couldn't walk properly for the almost two weeks as she was constantly in severe pains. The pains got worse as she found it difficult to sit, stand and even sleep. The spot were nurse eviko had injected her became so red and swollen. Her friends became alarmed and had to carry her to a clinic outside the school for fear of meeting with nurse. again.

There,it was confirmed that her sciatic nerve had been damaged due to the improper administration of the IM injection by nurse. Now the sciatic nerve supplies the legs and when damaged, it would be difficult for an individual to walk,stand or move. The presiding doctor announced that an immediate surgery had to be performed on Ladi else she might become paralyzed. Ladi's father was so furious that he threatened to kill nurse if anything happened to his daughter.

Nurse eviko was sacked from her job and was arrested by Ladi's father where she would later be charged to court. I don't really know how the case ended .

A nurse foremost priority is her patient. Apart from delligently tending to her patient's ailment and observing their progress, a nurse is also charged with the responsibility of providing emotional support that would accelerate a patient's recovery. A nurse should under no circumstances use terrible words or become impatient towards the sick as it is a noble profession. .
