"So... why haven't we ever become lovers?"
It was a long night... twelve hours, seemed like longer though. Once again, worked me little butt off. Seems to be happening every other night.
MVA... 14-year old girl. Came in on a spine board. Left alone for a minute, she was off the spine board. Whiney, whiney. Couldn't stand being restrained for another minute. Didn't worry about being restrained by paralysis for the rest of her life.
Did some x-rays on her. Whine, whine, whine. Very foul mouth. Father looked like a real nice guy, he was obviously restraining himself. I was restraining myself, too. Everyone in the ER wanted to, I believe the expression is "bitch-slap" some sense into her. Sure, we can deal with people like that... we do it every day. But we don't like it.
She needed a tetanus shot. No way, said she. Her father told her that she was going to get it. "F**k you!" she told padre. She got the shot and he took her home.
Damn, I'm glad that I had boys.
Nothing else really interesting, just a lotta work. Enough, as usual, to wear me completely out.
I did get a decent day's sleep yesterday, though, and that saved me. I hope to do the same today, since I have the treadmill thallium in the morning. I'll be up until noon with that, then an appointment with the cardiologist at 16:00... I'm not sure how that's gonna work. If I didn't get off tomorrow night, I might punt on that one, reschedule it.
I don't mention this too often, since it's something that I take for granted... but I work with a great bunch of people. Mostly, when I'm working my ass off, so is everyone else. And they do great work, too. I love them all.
Some of them more than others, but that's only natural.
Gonna put my body to bed, hoping that my mind will follow...
"One of us is gutless."
"Yeah... maybe both"
"Yeah."
