Fri. nite in ER brings out America's finest!


So I hurt my back at work yesterday, and got to occupational health in time to get my drug test but not treatment. So I got to sit for seven hours in the ER (because WHY should my company contract with an urgent care place?) and lord, was it ever confirmation that I would not make a good ER nurse. The first gentleman that came in with a flower vase stuck up his hind end or the lady who keeps having "seizures" in the waiting room would probably not elicit my empathy. Bless the ER nurses.

Life in the ED is the greatest....How many times have you had the chance to care for a huffer with a blue face (from the paint). You walk in and look at them and say " I see you are feeling a little blue", or whistle "it ain't easy being green" while cleaning the green paint fromt he guy who wanted to know what it would be like to change his color. All the jail clearances for people who always state "I wasn't doin nuthin" with multiple felony charges against them. Playing guess the BA.
