Bed 1 was Mr C. He was a very friendly chap. On the first day of the clinical practice nurses were always gossiping about how annoying he is. The first time I really got to see him was when I was doing his routine obs.
I asked about his conditions daily and we eventually got to become acquainted with one another. The patient had been involved in a car accident and is lucky to be alive. He was aiming to be a professional boxer and had been training himself up to keep in shape - that saved his life from a potential death. He was incredibly funny for a 30-40 year old. Once he told me to get the bottle because he was lazy and a nurse tripped over it because he just left it in the doorway. He was laughing and the nurse was pissed- it was unintentional of course.
He also told me he secretly had a crush on one of the nurses (even though I have been introduced to his girlfriend). He often encouraged nurses to let me try to help him with more advanced stuff like medications and IV machines to help me enhance my skills.
I think Mr C is just misunderstood in the ward. He just has a sense of humor and is not afraid to express it. It's amazing how far a daily greeting can help build nurse-patient rapport.
