And Saturday night was pretty shitty too.
The CT scanner went down at the other hospital, and as I was doing one of their patients, I got a call that a code red shooting was coming in.
The kid, about 20 or so, had been shot in the top of the head. There were many witnesses to what happened, but nobody was talking... and I can see their reasoning. Whoever had done it had shot his legs out from under him, then shot him in the head point-blank. They were relying on the intimidation factor to keep the witnesses quiet. It would damned sure work for me... bad, brutal people.
That was about the only excitement of the night, though. The rest of the night was busy but unexciting. And for the second night in a row, it was a hard no-lunch... no food at all. Not that I can't afford to skip a meal...
Luckily, I only had the one CT patient from the other hospital. That could've been really ugly, had they been busy too...
So I came home and went to bed about 10:00 and slept until 20:15, got a good day's sleep. It was rainy when I came home and I think that it stayed cool all day. The high temperatures are supposed to be in the 60 the early part of this week... autumn is on it's way.
Which reminds me... I need to fix the hot tub. I have to replace the pump on the damned thing, which means crawling under the deck and working for a coupla hours. But it will be so nice to have it back again...
last night was hump night... at 03:00 I had worked half of this long stretch. Now I have only ten nights to go!
Speaking of work, it's that time again... more tomorrow.
