THE-BOOK-OF-ROO

PROVERBS 14:29

A PATIENT PERSON SHOWS GREAT UNDERSTANDING, BUT A QUICK-TEMPERED ONE PROMOTES FOOLISHNESS.

Hi everyone. I know, I am back so soon with another article, shocking right? 😱LOL. The truth is it shouldn’t be that much of a surprise because if you watched the vlog that went with my last article then you would have heard me say; I was coming back with a part 2, so here I am, I kept my word, here is part 2 of last months (last years) vlog.

It was important for me to record a part 2 because I wanted to share my experience of the roller coaster ride of trials I went through when I was in the hospital back in October.

I said this in the actual video but I’ll say it again, I am not making this vlog/blog to complain, I am making it strictly for educational purposes!

I actually love the hospital I go to and I have tremendous respect for the people who work there, but there were many trials I did go through this past admission and I can’t ignore them. I have to speak up about it, so that’s the reason for this vlog/blog. Again though, I will say: all of this is not to complain, but to educate!

I am assuming if you are reading this, you already watched the vlog (video), so I am not going to say everything again. I am just going to say, if you haven’t watched the video, click on it at the top of this page because if you don’t watch it, then you won’t understand what I am saying in this article.

Back in October the Lord once again taught me so many things but the number one thing he taught me was patience and empathy, empathy was a big one that I think the Lord has been teaching me.

When you are disabled and going through a trial like I was in October, it can get difficult for many reasons. It’s easy to think that life revolves around our needs and feelings. If you’re not careful, you might get trapped in that mindset, thinking nothing else matters but your feelings.” You start to think that nothing else matters but your pain and your hurt and your needs, and it’s a very slippery Slope.

For example, when it came to my situation, it wasn’t just about me, I wasn’t going through it alone. I wasn’t the only one affected, I wasn’t the only one who was drained or frustrated, my mom was going through it all too.

That’s why I was even so thankful when my one friend who sent me breakfast one morning didn’t just send me breakfast but he remembered my mom and sent her it too. He realized and remembered that it wasn’t just about me, and I wasn’t the only one going through this but she was going through it too.

Before I go any further I just wanted to make something clear. Yes both my parents went through this with me, but my mom was the affected one because she was the one staying up with me for days at a time, she was the one sitting in hospital rooms with me, she was the one changing me and doing all the caretaker things. My dad is one hundred percent there, but he has a job and in the winter time he is working all hours of the day and night. Plus he now has major medical complications himself, so my mom does most of the heavy lifting now, but I just wanted to make clear before I went any further that yes my dad’s one hundred percent involved so don’t take this article out of context. Ok back to what I was originally saying LOL.

I think it’s very easy for us as the “sick” one, to forget the people who are in our lives who are basically just innocent bystanders. They feel the impact and the weight of the trials, like what I went through in October, just as much as the “sick” person does.

Which is what brings me to my point, when you are in the hospital and you have these minor but yet annoying little incidents that happen over and over again. Like what happened to me during my last admission. You start to feel like the hospital staff for the most part act like they don’t care, and act like it’s not a big deal, and do nothing to take responsibility for their wrong doings. Most of these “incidents” can be avoided if people just took their jobs more seriously.

These tiny “incidents” didn’t just affect me, they affected my mom too, because once she realized how incompetent this staff was. She had to watch their every move and be, pretty much my body guard just like she had to do when I was a little kid and at a hospital I been going to for almost 38 years, that just should not be happening.

The staff that knows me and my case is amazing with me. But the problem is, this hospital has changed a lot of their staff and got rid of a lot of the good employees and they brought in all these young adults who you can tell do not care for their patients or their job, and it is really sad to see the direction that this hospitals going in.

To the Doctors or regular staff who take care of me, if you ever read this, please know I am not talking about any of you, I am referring to the new people and the new systems they have in place that is just a mess and not working, from their scheduling department to the radiology department and everything in between.

My point to talking about all this isn’t to complain, it’s to say that all these added on trials and stressful situations do not help. People like me who practically live in the hospital and who are dealing with so much already, they do not need your added on stress and honestly your rudeness.

If you are a person who is going to work in a hospital and especially a pediatric hospital, because pediatrics is a whole another level of care, so if you are going to decide to work in that kind of atmosphere then you better learn patience and compassion and learn to have empathy for your patients. Even if you think your job is not important and you’re doing something as simple as transporting patients. Learn to do it without acting like, excuse my language but, like a jerk!

You may not think your job is important, but it is. Anyone working with sick people, no matter the title or the complexity of care you give, if you are hands-on with the patient, then your job and your attitude is important, so start acting like you care and if you don’t care, then it’s time to get a new job!

We, as the patient and family of patient, were going through pure Hell during those moments and we most definitely feel the impact. Even if it’s someone like myself and my family, who are used to these trials and who are always laughing and smiling and being polite, we still are stressed and we still feel the weight of it all, we just opt to take the route of kindness and joy and we choose to not let the weight of our trials affect how we treat other people. Because we know all to well what it feels like to be someone’s mental and emotional punching bag, and we never want to be that back at others.

Instead we choose compassion, kindness and love and more importantly we choose to shine the light of Christ. Please don’t get me wrong though, just because I have a smile on my face and am respectful to you, it doesn’t mean I don’t feel the weight of your rudeness or even awkwardness.

So Jackie what is your point? My point is simple, have compassion and empathy for those around you, because I think in society today we are loosing that more and more and we are becoming a generation of me mentality people. It’s not always about me, myself, and I. It’s about everyone, so get beyond your feelings and your little world and start thinking about those around you.

1 Peter 4:10: As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace:

I am blessed to be at an age where I know how to handle situations like what I went through in October, but the average child and the average parent who are new to this world. They are not prepared and are not strong enough to understand it.

At a hospital like the one I go to. It is so close to the inner city and close to a lot of low income areas and lots of areas with high crime rate, and so hospitals like this see a lot of troubled kids. The pain in some of these kids eyes is heart breaking to see. Kids like this do not need the people caring for them to be rude and heartless.

They need kindness, patience and understanding, so if you work in a hospital with patients like this and you do not have those skills, then get out now! If you cannot learn to have those skills than that is not the job for you!

Use your gifts for good, love on those who need loved on, because trust me, those who are hurting need it and especially if you work in a pediatric hospital, those kids are longing for that.

Well all this article is much longer than I anticipated it to be so I am going to end it here. Have a very blessed beginning of the new year, I pray this year you find wherever Gods guiding you to go. Thank you so much for all your support, and I love you all and more importantly Jesus loves you🙏
