Last night went well. No major glitches. Mostly just stupid stuff like, "it didn't print" which I answered, "is your printer on?" and they responded, "oh. oops." Brian and I decided that our team motto should be "Teaching the world, one dumb-ass at a time."
One of the things I noticed since taking this new job was that I didn't have any more good hospital stories. Last night I sat at Triage in the ER so here you go:
Last night there was a big accident on the Patullo Bridge so the ER was pretty busy. Some other guy walks in with his buddy and his face is all messed up. Looks like he got beat up real good. Half his face was all swollen, bloody, and pretty f$@!-ed up. But, he walked in, talked to the triage nurse clearly, and was otherwise in pretty good shape so the nurse tells him to get registered with the admitting people and wait. Oh, and the wait will be about 2 hours because of the accident. This guy was not impressed. If you saw him you'd think he needed to be seen right away, but because his injuries weren't life-threatening, he had to wait. That sux.
What else did I see last night? Let's see: multiple stab wounds, head lacerations, someone drinking bleach, lots of people that got assaulted, a guy that got hit by a car, a DOA, and a bunch of sick babies. I tell ya, emerg is pretty crazy. If you've got a cut on your pinky finger, unless its falling off go to a walk-in clinic.
