Beautiful Day …
What an awesome day Friday was! Perfect weather, sunshine and plenty of adult refreshments while floating in the pool … I could get used to those kinds of days … (Oh wait – that’s what we do every year in Jamaica!) And, the studio has been productive. I finally got around to painting (glass) …
‘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 …
Summer Nights and DARN SANE
Weekend update: Just another drunk summer weekend … We had lots of alcohol-involved visits. Probably made the new computer program transition more bearable for the patients. Kind of wish I could have been inebriated too (darn computers anyway), but … a great crew helped! Had the monthly DARN SANE meeting this morning … on a …
Happy Memorial Day …
I could do a lot of (justified) whining and griping about this weekend … but why bother? It doesn’t change anything … So – instead … I will wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day(!) … be thankful for so many things … and focus on the week ahead (away from the ER, patients, families, visitors, …
Spockula … and glass
Poor, poor Zeus … DH was ‘intrigued’ with the idea of having a Neo with cropped ears … so, we had it done. I’m feeling so bad for my little guy right now … He’s still an absolute sweetheart, but he looks ridiculous! And the part that’s killing me – I love to grab hold …
Weekend wrap-up … grumble, grumble
So … I have nothing overly nice to say about the weekend – so I won’t. At one point, a co-worker asked me about the ‘kinder-gentler’ me. Without skipping a beat, I let her know I’d left her in Jamaica, and really needed to go back and get her! I’ve just completed my CAP diary …
Weekend Wrap-Up … Ouch and Yuck!
That sums up the weekend. Very busy with needy patients and families on Saturday … Needy as in sick (really sick, sepsis sick); ‘Super-Sized Jerry Springer drama’ families; dedicated drug seekers that would not take no for an answer. Plus I had to complete a CSC (rape) case in the ER. I hate that … …
Weekend wrap-up … let it snow
Looks like ‘Snowmageddon’ finally hit – or I should say ‘is hitting’, as I believe they’re still calling for more today and tomorrow – this time without all the hoopla and forewarning … So we had two types of patients last night: Those that were really sick, and those that wanted to be really sick, …
If A and B then G, else … (AKA Weekend Wrap-up)
Or something like that … It rings a distant bell for some type of math – or maybe it’s HTML coding … ??? Anyway – that’s about how much sense our new Senior ED ‘criteria’ is making right now: … If the patient is 65 or older, you must (mandatory) complete a senior assessment – …
Weekend update … puppies
Outside of the standard flu & psych patients … Superbowl weekend proved to be a fairly mellow one. A great crew of co-workers is always a bonus! My only gripe is this: There should be a national law that prohibits drug-seeking, drama-craving, possom-playing dingbats from presenting to the ER at 6:53am. There is no compassion …
