Sleep Deprived 17-year-old Unplugs Life-Support at Hospital

Even before I knew anything about hospitals, beeps and whistles in the hospital rooms are usually connected to important machines...:S...this calls for a colorful metaphor...
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

Can't say I blame the kid. I tend to get pretty damned cranky when I'm trying to sleep and something is keeping me up, too. I'd like to think I wouldn't do anything quite that extreme, but hey… when you're tired, you're tired.
cavete terrae.

A full 10 points out of 10 for the Monty Python reference at the end. B|

Sensory overload is a major problem in acute care wards. So many bells and whistles that are designed to make patient care easier (and therefore better) actually make it harder for the patient to rest and heal.
