Hmmm…let’s see…
The hospital kept paging me all night. I have a whole bunch of patients in house, most of them in training for hospice. One is a sweet little old lady who fainted at home and said, “I’m fine, please don’t bring me to the hospital. I feel fine!” Needless to say, EMS came, she was brought to the ER, where a tube was placed in every orifice, and she became quite delirious. I will (hopefully) discharge her today before anyone else tries to “help” her.
It’s still the tail-end of flu season, so the office and clinic are bursting at the seams.
It’s pouring cold rain outside, the sky an oppressive grey typical of this part of the country.
And my third patient this morning said to my assistant, “Can you please tell the doctor his fly is open?”
I think it’s time for a vacation.
