Weekend work

(This is soooooooooooooooo late, I am sorry I'm a slacker, just been working my tail off!)

Well, as expected last weekend was no let down in the good ol ER!

Thursday was nice and calm, no major action, had A zone m- with 2 trauma and 2 psych rooms - which always allows for some fun and excitement. Anyway it was a nice night.

Friday - well holy sh*t is all I've got to say about that! Although it wasn't as busy as Friday nights tend to be - we sure did have some serious excitement (for our little ol ER). We had not one but TWO STABBINGS (related event), a CARDIAC ARREST that we got back (yes, that is right - the patient is alive now, which is a VERY unusual case), I saw two central lines put in - IV access directly to the heart (which I have seen NONE of since I started), and a severe respiratory distress who had to be intubated - I got to push those meds as well.

Saturday was kinda like Thursday, nice and steady yet not slammed - and I had A zone again which I love to have, cause you get more critical patients and some loons!
