Last night was a rough night too, but not because of my bad mood... that was gone, and good riddance, I say. No, it was bad because it just was. Too much work to do, too many drunk patients. I have the feeling that tonight will be worse yet even, dammit.
The weather is perfect, of course, as it usually is while I'm working... just right for camping and getting drunk and falling down and fighting. No major MVAs, though... that's something to be happy about. One sad thing... one of the ER docs came in with abdominal pain and I did a CT scan on him... appendicitis. So he had that sucker taken out, of course, but he was planning on flying to Grand Cayman today to go snorkeling for a week. Or skin diving, or something. So his vacation is pretty well ruined. On the other hand, he was lucky that this didn't happen down there, where he would have had an appendectomy done by a witch doctor... :-] Just as I was getting ready to leave, we had a two-second power outage, so I stayed and reset computers and stuff for about a half-hour. I was feeling guilty that I hadn't had a chance to do *any* paperwork last night at all, but now I don't. Gonna be a short day for me if I don't get to bed right away... three more nights, the twelves... then one more rotation! I think that maybe I'm getting excited about working days! This morning the cable is out again... that's why yesterday's entry didn't get up until the evening, and now it's gonna happen again, dammit.
