How is it going? I'm just curious, I've only ever been a patient there, that was about 15 years ago. I wasn't a nurse back then and I cant even begin to tell you how my nursing care was or even who he or she was. All I remember is the nasty orange flavored barium I had to drink for the CT scan, the rude phlebotomist waking me up early for blood draw, my roommate having bloody urine in a foley (he had stones I think), and me lugging around an IV pole with what I now know was lactated ringers.

Don't recall much of the ER either, I was in so much pain to even remember details.
