You Can Rest Assure, I'm Your Doctor

...I'm your cure. My day today started off pretty fantastic; we had a patient in my hands by seven. I wasn't fully awake until I saw "Bill's" brain protruding from the back of his head from the spinal cord area. Bill was previously undergoing periods where he would fall unconscious, become lucid, and lose consciousness repeatedly until the point where he no longer gained consciousness. The first step: drilling a hole directly through the patient’s skull. Brain protruding from the back of the skull without any significant injuries to the face is immediately ruled an intracranial Hematoma. A CAT scan later showed an Epidural Hematoma; it's when a main artery in the brain is torn and causes an immediate loss of consciousness. Bill smacked his head just the right way on a cabinet door; he had previously left a cabinet door open when he was cooking dinner. A small smack to the head is enough to cause major damage; Bill has a rare cause. Working with the neurologist we were able to stabilize Bill and bring him in for surgery where his brain was cleaned and reentered into his skull. Bill does not have much sensation and mostly paralysis in his arms and legs. We'll expect some eye sight loss as well, but we can't be too sure until he wakes back up, for now he's in the intensive care unit.

I've been dating a girl for five months now; I'm so head over heels for her that I don't know what to do with myself. She's been really quiet around me lately... and I think it's because my birthday is coming up next week. I'm turning the big 2-7. I'm going to be thirty soon, I'm freekin' scared for my life. I know we are going out to eat for my birthday but I will not underestimate Caleigh's slyness. Being a renascent doctor, I will not let her ostentatious manner fool me; or has it? The other night we decided to play a game to learn a bit more about each other, we played "I've never". We took out a set of shot glasses and filled them with some grade-A captain Morgan’s rum. We asked our series of questions... "I've never touched a liver...a dead guy...a heart" were amongst Caleigh's favorite questions, for she doesn't do trauma for a living. I can barely remember any of the questions we asked; I do remember Caleigh saying she's never been in a threesome... there's a first time for everything.

Oh, by the way... I created a facebook for my blog: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1337445956
