It’s all coming together …

I love this frame of mind … I wish I could bottle it! Positive energy, lots of creativity and productivity … Life is good! DH performed emergent, life-saving ‘surgery’ on Dear Old Grinder. She’s back! And with a new 1 inch coarse grit bit – we’re moving through glass like a hot knife through butter! …

WWU … gotta love those full moon weekends

While I was struggling with 20-somethings and difficult people this weekend … folks were tearing up the internet pages at Etsy … apparently Christmas shopping has begun! Which is very cool. I will try to focus on that – in the back of my mind, during future weekends … The benefit to having a computer-manned …

‘Just’ Good Care … AKA weekend wrap up

Played in the sister ER again this weekend. Amazing to me the difference a few short miles can make … different patient attitudes, complaints – general auras … Also got to do a little bit of what I do well … Had a severe respiratory distress patient who needed quick emergency care, and he got …

It’s Potty Time … AKA Weekend Wrap-Up

Managed to get through the weekend with limited pain from the patients of Easy Rider. Did have a few memorable moments … this one sums it up best, I think: A 6 foot, “220 pound” (mmhmn, yeah – and I weigh 120 pounds!) GENTLEMAN – who just happened to be in ‘the vicinity’ of Easy …

Here it comes …

The other summer weekend I’ve been dreading … Easy Rider and Melonfest – both on the same weekend. What are they? Reasons for people to gather en-mass, drink too much, fight each other and come to the ER. And, in the case of Easy Rider – picture all the ‘fun’ associated with Mardi Gras – …

A comparison … (AKA Weekend wrap up)

Recently saw PBR (Professional Bull Riding) for the first time … My Golly! Those guys can handle some pain! It’s insane, what they endure in the name of making a living … But, we could all learn a thing or two from them. These guys ride with broken bones/bruised parts while being bucked, stomped on …

Weekend wrap up … Bum!

Didn’t make it to work this weekend … so no whining to be done. Hold on a second – I can always whine about something. I know, I can share a ‘reserve’ story … You know you’re a momma’s boy if: You’re in your 40’s and you come to the ER telling anyone who will …

To every thing … (AKA weekend wrap up)

there is a season … Time to move on? Maybe. I don’t know. I really don’t like change, but … Had a few interesting things come up (out?) this weekend: Delivered our first baby in our ER. Yep, in the middle of the night with a full, backed-up ED and ambulances steady bringing in patient …

Welcome home and weekend wrap-up

The twins came home from camp … missed us so much they took 10 steps in the door, dropped their laundry and ‘stuff’ in the middle of the entry and plopped down on the couch in front of the TV … Are you kiddin’? Not their best move … And then off to work I …
