Ugh.
I hate really, really, really sick little babies.
They aren't any fun, they have horrible outcomes...and they're impossible to start an IV line on.

Which reminds me. Are you going to be at happy hour? I have this growth on my eyelid that needs looking at and I'm too lazy to see my regular doctor.

Saturday - cue another 6 hours of being asked to changes dressings and bath residants.
"I'm sixteen, I'm not qualified!!"
It's really hard to go into a residants room and find that they've opened their bowel and bladder and not being able to help. Having to tell a 98 year old woman thats shes going to have to sit in her own sh!t for another 20 minutes before a higher member of staff is available
Perfectly capable? yes, Alowed? Fat chance..

I have the highest of regards for people who can work with human feces on a daily basis.
Animal? fine. Sometimes a bit messier than I might like, sure, but I can deal with even the worst if its not constantly in my face. But human feces make me really really uncomfortable/nauseous/upset/etc.
Having children will be interesting. I'm thinking an Au Pair might not be a bad route to take in that instance.....
I'm done with work for now. I still have to go get my performace eval (Why don't I get paid for that?!)
And pick up my last paycheck, but otherwise I'm done working till I love to wherever. Which is starting to look more and more like New Mexico, which is unthrilling, but sadly more practical than NYC at least for the time being.... We shall see

I'm VERY practical and useful. And sometimes even extremely enjoyable.

Speaking of which... Do I want to build a stage like this for decom fire spinners? It would only be one piece of wood high but it might be kind of cool. Just nail a 4 foot by 8 foot board to some two by fours.

It depends on how much time we want to put into the event vs. doing other things.

So long as you didn't go to happy hour THEN try to keep the baby alive
My profound admiration goes out to you Dr. Mike, for doing what very few people alive are even capable of, and doing it with alot of heart

This afternoon, one of my senior residents was post-call. The other senior had clinic, as did the other intern.
Which made me the only doctor in the NICU for the afternoon.
And a kid started to crash.
When the other intern showed up I was like, Alexei, thank god you're here. You're going to have a rotten night!

Oh jeez... are you going to play the 'keeping a sick baby alive' card everytime you're late at work?
I mean, I'm as against dead babies as the next guy but that's gonna get old.

*bump*
I bumped this thread for two reasons.
1) I don't really want to go to work this morning
2) I'm still waiting on my response from Spindizzy.

I only read Cities In Flight not even a year ago while I was in London. I read on the tube.

People keep dying at work. It's sad.
We've gone the past 2 years or so with only 1 or 2 deaths, and in the past 5 weeks we've had 4 go
I don't like work much anymore..even if I did get a pay rise

I swear to gods if you talked to me before I clocked in like that, I'd walk out and call in sick!
Had a shitty day yesterday, client wise. Had to yell at one, which was fun and not all at the same time. Stupid people.
Don't want to go in today...
Ha..wait...I don't have to!
It's my day off!

i don't want to be here...
i'm crabby because i've been up the past few days. nye and then i got a call the other night about how my friend mouthed off to the wrong person and they threw him down and snapped his hip...hip healing is hard when your healthy and he is soooo unhealthy...up all night worrying about him
so not only am i crabby everyone including guests are too...and i'm just thinking "oooh your phone doesn't work, poor thing, but you could be laying in a hospital bed with a broken hip that may never heal right with no home to go to and no way to pay these bills and is still on a waiting list for other medical care that you still need...but let me feel bad about your phone not working in your room-the world must be ending"
