I gots the triage blues

[teeituptom, BSN, RN]

Last night in triage

everyone waiting 3 and 4 hours

all were upset

and getting red white and blues

along game a guy

a girl in tow

some blood seen in her beautifull blonde hair

and anger in his eyes

He yells through the window

shes bleeding shes bleeding

I take a quick look

small lac to scalp and no LOC noted

I say please sign in

and please take a seat

But she is bleeding he yells

I see that sir. please take a seat

he holds up his hand

and shows me his ring

yelling do you know

who I am

No sir I dont know you

Your ring is from Texas A and M

so your aggie

is that what you mean sir

Just then in through the front doors

Comes in the local police

seems the aggie

had broken several traffic laws

in getting to the ER

The officer says

well Tom

does this case warrant him

driving at 80 miles an hour

No I replied

thank you says the officer

to the aggie he says

Sir will you step over here please.

I go and fully triage and assess the young lady

I fell while" WE " were in the shower

how old are you young lady

Im 16 years old she replied

The officer hearing this

looks at the aggie

" Sir before you say anything else,

I need to read you your rights"

The aggie yells

as I am bandaging her head

"but her brains "

may be leaking out.

The officer takes

the aggie outside

I ask the young lady

May I call your parents

I need their consent to treat you

She talks to her parents

and hands me the phone

my ear gets blistered

but they are on their way

I get her to the back rapidly

so they can deal with her parents

As I lead her to a room

The officers cuff and stuff the aggie

She is 16

he is 26

seems to be a problem

here in the land of Texas

the Moral of the story

Damn I see another subpoena coming my way.

Some nights I really hate triage

[RNin92]

Aw Tom...

Some nights you just gotta smile...

Think happy thoughts...

Like what happens to pedophiles in jail!

Your aggie will look lovely in orange...

just picture it...

See...that subpoena won't be so bad!

Ok...that was lame...

Subpoenas suck!

There, is that better?

[Stitchie]

Well Tom I can't compete with the verse,

Can only say, you've earned your gold star for today.

No matter what happens, subpeona atonement can't be worse!

[Energizer Bunny]

Tom....just think of how you did what was best for your patient! I haven't been there so I don't have any good words of wisdom, but I think you are great for handling it so well!

[veetach]

at least you had some excitement! Was he someone famous in Aggieland???

[teeituptom, BSN, RN]

Only Thing Famous about Aggies are the jokes about them

But they Take their little class rings and wear them proudly

[veetach]

Oh OK, I thought maybe it was a super bowl ring or something, it could have been Troy Aikman. LOLOLOLOL :chuckle :chuckle :chuckle

I had a patient not too long ago with the biggest old ring on his finger, and when I looked closer it was a World Series Ring!!! I was duly impressed, but he was a really nice guy......

Reminds me of the time one of the residents showed up at the hospital's lab at 2 a.m. with a blonde in tow--he wanted at STAT VDRL!!!

cautious

or post careless

[chris_at_lucas_RN, RN]

You know, I never thought about it--always assumed it was before, based on the 'STAT" part.....

[RNin92]
