Job Description

Seeking a proactive caregiver for a 24-hour shift following liposuction under conscious sedation. While not under general anesthesia, I will be taking Xanax and Oxycodone, resulting in a "loopy," non-rational state. I require a "sober mind" to take full charge of my safety, mobility, and recovery protocol while I am chemically incapacitated. Starting Thursday Feb 26th at 2:30 pm be on call to collect me at the clinic. The clinic will give you care instructions. Then drive me to my nearby hotel where you will be my care taker for the next 24 hours, finishingFridat Feb 27th at 2:30 pm. ​Responsibilities: You will provide all transportation and physical assistance with walking to prevent fainting (vasovagal episodes). You must supervise and time my mandatory post-op exercises to prevent blood clots and maintain a strict written log of all medications (Oxycodone, Xanax, antibiotics). Clinical tasks include managing heavy "tumescent drainage" by changing absorbent pads and ensuring I stay hydrated with electrolytes. ​Requirements: Experience with heavy sedation/opioid management and assertive communication to ensure I follow protocols while groggy. Must have a reliable vehicle and the stamina for a 24-hour shift.
