Patients in the ER

So, it's been awhile since I posted anything good, and for that I am sorry. And this probably isn't going to be a great blog because I am feeling slightly under the weather. But, I had some thoughts at work the other night that I thought would share.

I work in the Emergency Dept. The past two nights that I have worked, have just been really boring. There haven't been a lack of patients really, just a lack of patients appropriate for my services. We get a lot of young infants, and a lot of older teenagers, and a lot of kids coming in for a "bug bite". You think I am kidding about the bug bite, but I am not. I did have a few cases of kids getting stitches or having their broken arms set back into place, and those are always fun. But once I was finished with those kids, there was little else to do. So, this got me thinking. Is it wrong to wish that more kids came in with gaping lacerations and arm deformity? Is it wrong to wish that more traumas came in? Hmmmmmm, I just don't know. I find myself wishing all of those things on "slower" evenings, but then I feel bad cause basically I am wishing for someone's child to get hurt. So I am glad when it's slow because then I don't see sad or grotesque things, but it makes for a SLOW 10 hours!!!

That's all for now, hopefully I'll feel witty or deep sometime soon.
