So I just dropped a NG on a patient who was vomiting all shift. 500 MLS straight up.

I love that instantaneous reward. (and the peace from the dramatic wailing with every vomit was nice as well).

What gives you a kick?

Asked for an order for caffeine pills for a patient that hadn't been able to kick a headache for 24 hours straight despite oxycodone, tramadol, and dialudid. Hour after I gave the first dose: "Oh my! I feel like a new person!"

I totally agree with this. I love to start IV's on people.

The peace and quiet that usually follows the administration of IM Zyprexa. It may take 10 minutes or so for it to happen but when it does, it's so nice :)
