Butt, it's Saturday night

Happy Saturday night! The weekend madness is upon us. While we haven't had any rattlesnake bites so far (I guess they're taking the week off or something..), we've had some injuries that made me shudder. One young woman was doing an obstacle course and felt her ankle go, " snnnnnnaaaaaaapppppp!"... Sign in to see full entry.

A quick note

It is 9:15 at Woodleigh Regional, and I am going home. It has been crazy-busy today, barely time to go to the potty (at one point, I just threw my hands up in the air as another set of orders printed out and announced to the lab, "I AM GOING TO THE BATHROOM!!!!!" This is not just something you "have... Sign in to see full entry.

Laughter and its causes

Hi, all. Monkey-dog and I arrived safe and sound back in Woodleigh this morning. I am very tired, but it's a good tired. When some people are sleep deprived, the consequences can be dire - irratic driving, falling asleep at your desk, forgetting things. My issue is getting the giggles and not being...

Perspective

As I sit here tonight, I am safe and sound at my brother's home, Monkey-dog is asleep downstairs, and I am thankful for my family and a break from my "bunkhouse". As I started to go to bed, I decided I needed to blog (much cheaper than a therapist), as I not only get to share this journey I'm on... Sign in to see full entry.

A brief note

I am off for the next two days, to visit family and rest and relax. I intend to try to update, but not more than this tonight as I am off work and a)haven't eaten yet; b)haven't had time to use the bathroom (ok, I did - once); and c)I need to go home and unwind. I thank you for reading and am glad... Sign in to see full entry.

Geriatric mania

As you who read my blog know, the hospital, full-moon and a holiday weekend spell all sorts of interesting cases - which never happened (although the spray cheese guy was just bizarre....). However, apparently there is a latent trend going on, where the elderly people of Woodleigh are coming in by... Sign in to see full entry.

Beware the spray cheese!

And a happy good evening to you all!! I was not able to get online last night, sorry about that. I truly believed we were going to get hammered with "hammered" people celebrating Memorial Day. Alas and alack, it was the opposite of fast and the opposite of noisy (see the Q and S entry a few days... Sign in to see full entry.

The floodgates open - wide...

And a happy Memorial Day weekend to all of you. Before I get into the hospital doin's tonight, I want to take a moment to say "thank you" to our veterans, past and present. As the mother of a Sergeant in the Army (hooah that!!!!), I am so aware of what our troops and their families go thru. (My son... Sign in to see full entry.

Full moon weekend prequel

This week is a preview of the weekend - full-moon and Friday night (see previous post on same subject). Already, the doors of the ER are busting at the seams with the weird, wild and wooly - and the stuff that just makes you go, "Wow". On the "wow" side, enter Clarence Potts, who had the misfortune...

Oi, such a Monday...

In every job, every occupation, comes a Monday. You know, one of those days that, no matter what you do, no matter what you say, NOTHING and I mean NOTHING goes the way it is supposed to. It just so happens that my Monday is today - and it is Monday. First of all, Bob is out. His daughter, Bobbi, is... Sign in to see full entry.
