It was a hot August afternoon. I was on vacation and
my mum was working these days. She works as a nurse in a little ambulatory
close to Barcelona. Although it is a small neighbourhood there are always
conflicts due to the poor quality of life of people. But my mother is happy
with her job and I’m sure she would never change it for another one.
Well after
dressing we caught the bus to the ambulatory. I hadn’t been lived this
experience yet. But I had the sensation that it had to be fun, share with your
mum and enjoy together helping people.
At first all went well my mother pricked the patients
while I was writing down the important things she was doing. After she had to
do a cardiogram... and in this moments I felt so proud of my mum and I wanted
tod the same job, just help people.
But suddenly the calm ended. A boy came
running into the building he seemed tired but nobody was fixed on him. One
second after he pulled a knife and began to cut his wrists saying: I’m going to kill myself . He was
absolutely crazy and the first thing we did was lock him alone in a room
because he could have pointed a person with the knife and it was terrifying. So
the ambulances were coming and we were all excited and frightened for the
experience.
At the end of de day I could feel better but the first
thing I tough was that I never return to that site. At the moment of the
scene I was hair raising and scared to
death therefore I wouldn’t forget any detail of the skill.
