Busy-ness

Working sun, mon, tues, fri this week............So far all I can say is BUSY - NESS. Sunday was nice and relaxing, not too stressful although I got moved around in a few zones, but that's all good. Don't recall anything exciting except the fact that there was a police chase that ended in our parking lot............And the pt was brought in to us (he wasn't hurt just homicidal, nice real nice)!

Anyway Monday was freaking insane. Mondays are always bad, that's a given, this one however, was especially painful. I'm talking 15 people in the waiting room - some waiting up to FOUR hours to get to the back, and then sometimes an hour or 2 before seeing a Dr. Scary but true, and I know its not just our ER. Last night we admitted damn near all the patients we saw............And of course the hospital is fairly full, so that just made the situation worse! No place to put the people once we got them all admitted! Only item I can think of to note was my handcuffed to the stretcher, under arrest patient with a BA of 0.43 - and no that's not a damn typo! Alcoholic for freaking sure, cause he was pretty well with it when I got to him, not long after the blood was drawn.

All for now, I'm going to bed - didn't sleep for shit yesterday, and tonight is my 3rd in a row so I'm sure its gonna be a long one!
