– It’s good to be (friends with) the King … – Mashed potatoes do not go well with ribs-n-beans … – Patience pays off (somewhat) … WWU – It’s Good to be (Friends with) the King: All hail our ER director! Yep, in the eleventh hour (or maybe it was the 23rd hour??? Anyway …) …

WWU: Oh Paradise – where are you? I had a tough weekend. With alleged abuse/DV, delirium tremors, pregnant folks with belly pain, along with the latest bout of flu patients who arrived by-the-bus-load … Arrghh! I’m missing Paradise!!! Sunday night was crazy/busy, and I’m struggling with the fact that I did not make a new …

I knew it would be a strange weekend, based on the too-big-moon (NOT full, but still TOO large for my county), but – WOW! It was busy volume-wise, (Cold and Flu!) but I have NEVER taken care of so many ‘non-existent’ chief complaints: “I HAD a migraine, but it’s gone now”; “I had abdominal pain …

One tough day and then – a week of … holding my breath! The twins are going to be ‘on vacation’ – across state lines (! … HELP ME!!!) later this week. I hope they have fun … I hope I can relax enough to think about having some fun myself… I hope I can make …

Too many of my cases this weekend were about chasing numbers: dangerously low levels (potassium AND glucose – separate patients); dangerously high levels (alcohol AND drug); correctly predicting and reporting the number of hours someone would need to be monitored through the night before a family member could take them home (again, multiple patients); Q15 …

More experiments going on in the studio. This one, while not a success on the pleasing color scale … I think its worth playing with ‘boiling glass’ again: Continuing on with the ‘dookey’ theme … WWU: Admitting complaint =‘Seizure’ Discharged diagnosis=CONSTIPATION(!) … This ‘story’ tallies up in the SAVE column for my own particular WIN/LOSS …

Another busy week ahead … juggling for the needs of two-and four-legged family. Driver’s Ed, puppies, errands, groceries, puppies, work meetings, dinners, puppies … Did I mention puppies? Wouldn’t change a thing – except maybe adding a few hours to the day … WWU: While I was busy judging people at work this weekend (we’ll …

Got through another weekend … this one completely at the new job. It is definitely changing grass varieties – had one visitor complain that the magazine selection was lacking and outdated … umm, OK, I’ll work on that … (???) But it’s good, too. I have the time to educate and keep my patient’s updated. …

Officially worked at the new job this past weekend … Suffered a moment’s panic, when 10 minutes into the shift, the one and only patient in the department was discharged … “Holy Cow, this is going to be an insufferably long 12 hours – OMG, what have I done?” was my thought. But then things …

I have my last shift at the hospital tonight… Spent the last 8 years there, learned a lot, have so many good memories, but now it’s time to turn the page … I start at my new job tomorrow in a stand-alone ER. Studio news: The renovation is coming along – thank goodness! Kiln glass …
