HA! Yeah, right... I actually do find happiness by the bottle. Today was a good day; it was pretty busy in the emergency room. Today I was stuck doing scut work. Scut work is those stupid little tasks that the residents and attendings send you on because they don't have the time for it. That includes filling out charts, collecting samples, drawing blood, and moving patients. The only case I actually got in on today was one with a toddler, "Seth", who was admitted for swallowing two magnets. The two magnets, connected magnetically inside his intestines, completely ripping the lining. This causes toxins and bacteria to leak into the body and can potentially kill the child. However, since we knew of the problem ahead of time we were able to put Seth on antibiotics and were able to surgically remove the magnets. Seth is nice and safe with his mother, and under surveillance for the rest of the week.
It seems lonely at the other hospital now, I don't have anyone to go visit.
