cw hospitalization, medical malpractice

(that does make me wonder how school li's would be as nurses tho.

kylar is def the most questionable. gets scolded a lot by both the head nurse and the doctors, usually bc (1) the patients find them offputting and (2) they do not (always) follow proper health standards (has their hair unkempt most of the time, carries items that can be used as a weapon). jealousy is easy to raise. u just have to share ur room with another patient and u'd get the | + Jealousy stat everytime kylar go in and out of ur room. even more so when they catch u talking to someone else, be it a fellow patient, another nurse, a guest, etc. would def try to isolate u. move u to a more private room, tell ur visitors ur unavailable. if at high enough love/jealousy, would start interfering with your healing process. gives u the wrong drugs, throws away your prescribed drugs, might even make people believe that ur not taking ur meds properly so you get to stay longer. u cant leave them if you dont get discharged.

robin also gets scolded a lot, but less than kylar, and mostly due to their clumsiness and… clumsiness. lack of confidence, maybe? but patients love them. the other nurse and staff love them. they do tend to get a bit closer to the patients than ideal and let it interfere with their work sometimes, but everyone knows it's coming from a good intention. i don't think they'd be very problematic, tho at high love and confidence will take more night shifts bec :) somno. takes a break by sneaking into ur room and napping while cuddling u. robin can just say they're checking up on u/the other patients in the room once they're done anyway. sometimes sexual shit ensues, but they clean u up before anyone else notice.

sydney is the most normal™. kinda. im drawing up a blank for them atm but they'd be the nicest… the kindest… the goodest… and honestly the most decent nurse out of the 4 lol. very normal. acts like a typical nurse. everyone loves them. has ideal patient-nurse relationship with their patients. next in line for the head nurse. but if harper's your doctor, u bet ur ass they will try to sneak u out of the hospital as soon as possible. high corruption, they'll just bust u out. if the hospital isn't managed with someone of particular importance to syd, they'll resign and get you out of here. wherever hospital u go next, they go. if the hospital is managed by jordan/sirris though… they won't resign just yet. they'll try to reason with them first to transfer u to a different hospital/be assigned to a different doctor. if that doesn't work, will sneak you out, but will also stay for a few more days/weeks before handing in their resignation to avoid suspicion.

whitney is most popular for the wrong reasons. at low love, skips frequently. loud as FUCK. u can't really tell if they got in the field purely bc it's their passion or if it's smth pushed onto them. treats u like shit. not enough to, let's say, cause some serious damage. but he will not care abt ur comfort, only cares abt getting u out of here so they'll have less ppl to tend to. at high love, will be "nicer". scolds u out of affection, not out of wanting u to get ur ass out of here. will indirectly tell u to visit them (or share their contact info w u?) if u get discharged. if at high lust will be a little shit. expect a lot of teasing. edges the fuck out of you by his words alone. if ur in a priv room, much worse. but if you ask them nicely, maybe they'll oblige. just maybe.)

Prodigious, PlayStation-loving Petaia has World Cup debut in sights

I was playing PlayStation, Petaia told the Herald of the call he received from Giteau, a centre at the last World Cup. He asked me how I was and broke the news and I was pretty stoked. I was playing golf and checking my phone constantly and then I was pretty happy to get the call. Dad was creeping outside my door and he was waiting to hear whether I made it or not. He overheard the call and he was pretty excited. Mum and dad were extremely happy and pretty buzzed. Its something really cool to have but I havent really done much yet. I still havent played a game, so Im still trying to work my way into the side. Its been nine months since Petaia, 18 at the time, came within minutes of becoming the third youngest Wallabies debutant, against Italy in Padua on last years spring tour. A tweaked hamstring on the Tuesday - after being told he would play - cruelled his dreams of a debut. He was a chance the following week against England, but pulled up short. Coming so close and missing out sucks but I cant really think about that too much, Petaia said. If you let it sit on your mind its going to play on your mind. I just want to focus on the next thing.

Instead of running out in Wallaby gold for the first time in front of a few thousand supporters in a small Italian city in the middle of the Australian night, Petaia may get his chance for maximum exposure in the coming months. If the hype is anything to go by, Petaia, who can play in the centres or on the wing, has a big future and where better to announce oneself on the world stage than at a World Cup. Loading He called me straight away and he was so happy, said Wallabies centre and vice-captain Samu Kerevi, who is also Petaias skipper at the Reds. Im really happy for his family and I know how much sacrifice they put in for him. At 19 he could probably make the next four World Cups. We get to do it together. Even though hes a kid and he hasnt played yet hes got so much growth and potential and when he does get on the field people will be stoked to see him out there. So how does a kid with the world at his feet, with just 13 Super Rugby games to his name and only two this season feel about the weight of expectation of a rugby community crying out for the next superstar to arrive? I dont look too much into it because theyre just words, so it doesnt really mean anything, Petaia said. I still havent done anything. Ill go about it my way. Its a blessing to be here. Not many boys get to be here. Im going to try and take in as much as I can and learn and really enjoy it. There is one person in the Wallabies squad, however, who knows what Petaia is going through and that is James OConnor; the reformed bad boy of Australia rugby who by his own admission burst onto the scene before he was ready.

It was the first time I met him in those camps and its really good to learn from him. Hes going to be at the Reds which is pretty exciting. It's unclear whether Petaia will be taking his PlayStation to Japan but Australian rugby can breathe easy that this kid is the real deal, not virtual reality.
