“I am a duel
trained pediatric and psychiatric nurse and I would say that because Mi has
been inside an acute psychiatric ward for the past few months she has just had
a rather nasty anxiety attack and that’s what I am here to deal with.I was in the middle of trying to do some calming exercises when you
came to help us.”
“Maybe she is out
on leave too soon and you should take her back to the unit.” Suzan said now addressing Emmet like he might
be about as insane and incapable as she obviously thought I was; this irritated
Emmet.
“Nope, I don’t think I will do that as next time she is
brought out this will happen all over again but probably to a worse degree
where we might actually need an ambulance at the end of it.” Emmet said firmly while emphasizing the words
need an ambulance to prove that she was no longer welcome.
“hay, hello guys!
What‘s going on here!?
Esmee said a little red faced and out of breath as she slipped herself
in-between Emmet and the paramedic who had gone on to have an evil eye
competition after their obvious disagreement leaving me stuck in the middle of
everything.
“And
you are?” Suzan
asked jumping back a bit in surprise at the arrival of another person into the
equation.
”Esmee,
I’m Mi’s mum, so what’s the problem?”
“Well
your daughter wasn’t
feeling to hot and was vomiting on the streets so as my partner and myself
where sitting at the end of the road I thought I would see if there was
something I could do to help.” Suzan
said still shooting the occasional evil eye at Emmet as she talked to Esmee who
was apparently calling herself my mother these days. My head hurt
“Another
anxiety attack honey?” Esmee
said removing Emmet from my shoulders before embracing me in an unexpected bear
hug which I didn’t have time to return in all of the craziness. “Do you think you need to go
the hospital with this young lady or are you feeling better now?”
“I’m fine, I said I was fine!” I shouted almost too eagerly
just to make sure I could be heard before Suzan protested again.
“OK if
none of you want my help far be it for me to force it on any one.” Suzan said holding her hands
up in surrender before bending down and heaving her green bag back over her
shoulder again and walking away back to the ambulance grumbling to herself as
she went.
