One night at work, I admitted John a few minutes before my shift ended. During the admission, John was so obsessed with (对某事异常地担心/强迫自己做某事而不能自控) where I put his coat rather than how I would address his nursing care. He was so nervous when I assessed him, when questioned, he ended up telling me he got some cash in the pocket.
But he wouldn't tell me how much it was, just simply told me he wouldn't trust the bank with his money and used to carry it around wherever he went.
Because that was the end of my shift, I had to hand over to next staff and security to lock up his money, so that it wouldn't get accidently misplaced during his transfers within or between hospitals.
We got very efficient and supportive working team that night, 4 staff were there to help with the admission. So the words just got around 大家都知道 in our team that John got some money that needed to be locked up. But, before we went off, things still remained unsorted.
And the same team came back for the following morning shift, and I was still allocated to John's care.
Then, his mind was still focused on whether or not his money was safe. After reassuring him, I was teasing him: How much was it? Last night I stayed up all night (整夜未眠), wondering about that (惦记着某事--嘿嘿, 不怕贼偷, 就怕贼惦记!).
"$600" John said.
Then, when I dropped him off in OT, he asked me for a favor in private: If something happens to me, can you please make sure that my wife gets the money.
Haha, He was so adorable, I couldn't help teasing him: John, I am sure you will be fine. But if things don't work out well, I promise your wife will get the money. But, I just think it's a bit unfair that I won't get a penny!
Then, when returning to the ward, I made this announcement to my colleagues: Hey, guys, please listen up. I have just been nominated as the manager of John's trust fund, can you guys keep an eye on me today and make sure nothing happens to me? I'm officially the legal guardian for his heritage now.
Our team were totally cracked up: Don't you worry about a thing, Ping! If anything happens to you, we got enough possible qualified guardians who can take over from you!
