Once again, the good nights' sleep was elusive... it was almost 02:00 when I last glanced at the damned clock. But I did get up and get to work on time. And we sat around until 09:30 before our first patient arrived. The patient went to the wrong hospital, and then evidently got lost on the way over here. Never showed up. And of course we made up for those wasted hours... doing bunches of patients from 10:00 on. And today was VIP day, it seems... three bigwigs in a row, all unscheduled, of course. No problem, though. And I was running the room, on my feet all day. I did get some new insoles, though, but I don't know if that helped any or not... it's just being on my feet all day, no matter what I'm standing on, that does the damage. And now I'm off to shower and, heh, get a good nights' sleep.... "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and
hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of
hobgoblins...."
Alack! The trembling limbs and mind
Alas! The lack of sleep...
