Yoga Workout - Learn how to do Yoga
Stuck at the hospital on weekend call today. One of my patients was an 83 year old lady who was getting her gallbladder removed. As I was doing my pre-anesthetic interview with her, she noticed the Yoda scrub hat I was wearing.
I gave her my spiel about what I was going to do, what to expect with the anesthesia, etc. Trying to allay any anxiety she might be feeling, I told her it was a simple surgery and that it shouldn’t be too exciting.
She smiled a weird little smile and said, “Adventure? heh. Excitement? heh. A Jedi craves not these things.” As I stood there at a loss for words, she wistfully said, “My grandchildren and I used to watch The Empire Strikes Back every weekend and play like we were Jedi - about 30 years ago.”
“Just ignore me”, she said, “I saw your cap and thought you would laugh.”
As I was staring at her blankly, I said the first thing that came into my head -“You are the coolest old lady I’ve ever met.” Not the most politically correct or polite thing to say, but I just opened my mouth and out it came. She laughed and put me at ease. I told her I had a lightsaber app on my iPhone and she asked to see it. I showed her how to use it, and she lay there swinging my phone around, smiling.
It has been the highlight of my day so far. I swear, since I have been working as a nurse anesthetist, the weirdest, coolest stuff seems to happen to me. I feel really good about the anesthetic I gave her, too. As I was pushing my induction drugs, I said in my best Yoda voice, “Go to sleep you will. Good dreams you will have.” She starting laughing as she drifted off to sleep, and it was a pretty darn good feeling.
Now all I hope is that I can get home at a decent hour so I can hit the gym. Two weeks ago I would have been wondering what they were serving in the cafeteria. I guess that’s progress…
