i am interested in how i will respond / handle high pressure situations with time pressure. I suspect... that there will be something about the degree of focus / concentration that I will really click with / be good at. when an emergency case comes in i don't suppose one needs to worry about having a 5 minute chat to the paramedics about their dog and their sisters husbands second cousins new toothbrush to ensure the handover goes smoothly (that the paramedic doesn't get all offended that you don't care so decides they will make your life a living hell until you give them whatever validation they crave. aka: unless you allow yourself to feel emotionally raped by them.).
can i respond flexibly in such situations? i think i could... i've got my own calm inner voice... and other people seem to have them, too. when the voice is task oriented, calm, and clear in what it says... the message gets heard pretty clearly. so long as something has happened to turn off the f*ck*ng happy puppy noises that people insist upon making much of the time... 'pay attention to me i've got important stuff to be saying about the party this weekend! oh me too squeeeeeeeeeeeeel!!!!! eeeeeeeeeeee! look at me... look me in the eyes... look at me right in the eyes right now!!!'
'tracheotomy'.
just say it. somebody. anybody. clearly. loudly enough to be heard. that's it. you don't need to be all like 'hello, my name is x and i'm going to be the y today and my job is to p and t and u and r' for that do happen. do you? really? oh. god. no.
or... that should have been enough. i would think... i am almost certain... that that would have been enough for me. because... it was obvious once it was mentioned. the problem was that it wasn't mentioned / that the people who it occured to didn't mention it. you shouldn't have to f*ck*ng well look at the nurses ever five minutes just to check whether they have something important to say but they have just decided to use sign language today... should you??
i don't know.
