Today has been a rather good day, to express my feelings in the least bit. Caleigh was discharged today, and she has a "clean" bill of health... sort of. She is completely fine except for those "few" injuries. She is staying at my apartment for at least the weekend. She is going to rest it up and relax; right now, everything hurts for her.
Today I returned to work for a long day at the emergency room. I continued my section on trauma, and I completed my first Friday as well. We were booked solid today; we had patients left and right. There were so many patients and so little doctors; the emergency room was in bad shape. As an intern doctor, we are not allowed to assist patients ourselves, only with our resident or attending physician.
Since I'm tired, I'm just going to share with you the one interesting story that we had tonight. There was a father who was about 53 named "Tom", and his son who was 23 named "John" who got into an intense argument. John despised his father and vice versa. To be concise, John shot his father in the thigh with a pistol and his father stabbed him in the abdomen. Talk about the drama in the family! They both arrived (all buddy buddy again, let me add) but both went away with the cuffs. The hospital is located DEAD SMACK in the middle of the ghetto, and I was told they get all the crazy admits from them.
