OT - now it's my turn to be bored

Ok so steffi got some love the other day, LOL

I am the "second triage nurse" until 11 which means I have the fantastic job of sitting in a cubicle waiting for patients to walk in and take them from the desk to do a full triage on them.

Normally this is a very challenging job as people keep pouring in and it takes at least 3-5 mins  to do a complete triage on each patient...and you can see how quickly that can back a place up.

Tonight...I've got one patient sitting in the waiting room (already triaged) and the door hasn't opened in 10 mins.  To top it all off - I forgot my iPod so I'm sitting in this cubicle without my music.

Grrrr....

Pam

I too tired to be entertaining tonight, but since you're jealous that Steffi got some love, I'll send you a hug.    Then you can say you got some love too!  

awww thanks Julie!!

Teach me to open my mouth...was nonstop for about 1 1/2...lol

I'm bored too....Gene has clients tonight so it's the cat and me on our own for the night.....

kitty time can be some of the BEST time.  Hope you and the kitties had a good night!

Hey Pam -

We had a crazy night at the Dr.'s office tonight.  It was one of those nights where the patients said they had one thing when they made the appt. and then after they were seen it was a whole different ball game.....

You know the type....."I've got a sinus infection" =  oozing penis
                                     " back pain" = hemmoroids

People are so strange..... 

I'm sure you've seen it all too.

Lisa

Yea...we had a bunch of that too.

My favorite (because I'm in the ER) is "Well for 3 mos now..."  WTF?  I mean...you've waited 3 mos...and now at 3am on a tuesday night it's an emergency?

Ok...I'll get off my soap box now.

Pam

So now I feel SOOOO guilty for not being on here last night to entertain you.....Damn...see - that is what happens when I try to play mom and wife....It is a crazy job and totally gets in the way of me being a lovely and caring friend.....:)  I am glad that you got out of the "cubicle" and I totally hear Larry talking all the time about the idiots who all of a sudden their problem is an emergency and they HAVE to call the ambulance.  I don't know how you guys deal with emergency medicine when the emergencies are few and far between - at least with Larry in the city!  People are sooo stupid! :)
