When I decided to become a nurse and venture away from the EMS world, I imagined a world where sickness was genuine. There were no more patients that woke you up for nonsense. I tell you, I used to get so angry in EMS when we would get a call at 0300 for a stomach ache that "I've had for 3 months". Well after cutting my teeth in the good ol hometown, I have found that its still the same ol clientel. I mean who comes to the EMERGENCY room for a "fever" or a "cough"? Call me cynical or pessimestic, but its very disheartening. I guess that I'd rather be doing something else sometimes, like spending quality time with the wife, or working on the house.
Oh well, I move on.
update:
Sandy and I are waiting on the insurance company to ok the surgery. We are planning on having a reduction any day now. We went and looked at pictures and talked to a surgeon. He was a nice guy and made us more comfortable about the procedure. I dont guess Im worried about sandy, shes healthy as a small horse. Its just the thought of her being sliced upon. She asked me if I would go in there with her for the duration of the surgery. My answer was in fact "Shit No". I dont think i could handle that at all. I'll keep everyone updated.

You know, honesty isn't always the best policy.
