  • Randoms

    Lets get some randoms done since I haven't written anything in a while.

    • I thought I respected nursing before, but after waking up at 5am and going across the city to Toronto East General Hospital to watch over my grandfather, I respect what they do even more; they must have the patience of a saint and must not get attached to some people lest they pass away.
    • most (9 in 10)of the people that take the subway at 5 in the morning are male
    • after watching Sherlock, I try to deduct the type of person people are by observing what they wear; like the gruff men who are in jeans and carry huge dirty lunch containers.. construction worker possibly?
    • I never want to be in a hospital again; its so depressing. People sick, moaning in pain... while waiting in the ultrasound room, I saw many women checking the status of their baby/fetus/whatever. One woman was telling another how the father of her child doesn't know about her pregnancy and she doesn't know how to tell him b/c she saw him with another woman yesterday. Then I saw an interracial young couple and the woman kept tearing up for some reason.. I couldn't tell if she was scared at not being ready for a child, or if it wasn't a planned pregnancy, or maybe even that she lost her baby? (i imagine alot more crying though)
    • changing your diet is quite a big thing; I was grocery shopping with my gf the other day and I was craving all sorts of food (normal and junk food) and realized how with my current diet, I couldn't eat literally ANYTHING I saw.. except for the plain almonds..
    • our medicare system needs more money.. or Toronto East General Hospital.. needs renovations.. everything from the room to the equipment and food just seems so basic. It took literally 2 hours to get an ultrasound today; there were 7 rooms, and only 4 people ahead of us, but it took forever to get served (?). After seeing what I saw today, I wish I brought my camera so I could take pictures of examples of what needs improvement which maybe could help with donations
