Hey Guys! Wow, I sure haven't visited this thread in a while! As far as the pt who assaulted me, I never heard a darn thing from the officers on the case, however, through friends on PD I heard she spent a few days in jail. Not enough by any means...
Sadly, I have to go back to work on friday night. I am on a weekends-only contract where we are allowed only 3 weekends off in a 6 month period. I used my first two for a glorious 18 nights off of work at the start of this contract (10/27-11/13). ...

In our ER we have 4 sections each has a name, thanks to one of our ER techs. Beds 1-3 are known as the green mile(our resus rooms) because sometimes you come back from the Green Mile, and sometimes you don't. We call beds 4-7 The Junkyard because t...
