5/12-13/10

So last night was pretty uneventful... had a few lacerations to boot. Few lidocaine with epinepherine injections, a few sutures, some staples here and there. Not too terribly exciting, but not exactly dull.

I think the most exciting thing that happened today was that I again got electrocuted in my shower this afternoon getting ready for work. The dishwasher somehow keeps working itself outta ground, and then my fingertips pay for it whilst adjusting the shower head or faucet. I'm so ready to pay bills off and build a final place of residence it's just sad.

Dude, you should definitely fix that. we had some pics in class of "4th degree burns" of these two jackasses who broke into a power plant to steal copper wire. One of 'em cut into a live feed, and it melted 'em both into shiny black puddles. Like, it melted their bones; there was nothing left but pieces of their shoes. Electricity can be a bad mofo. Knock the rust off'n that ground pipe, or something. Scary stuff.

well, I narrowed it down to the TV??? strangely enough, no more arc when I changed the TV and such to a different plug.

This house being ancient and all, only has the two wire system. No ground included. And someone, retarded and all, messed up some of the polarity. How you do that I have no idea!!

We have fixed the problem before as well! That was fun. Ask your bro how close to death we all came!!

But seriously, melted bones? How crazy would that be to find something like that... "this is Sgt. Donut Chip, I have two gelatenous puddles for DNA sampling.. appears the two honor roll students didn't know these extension cords were actually plugged in... "

Ha! If you have the choice, avoid going after those 3" thick insulated cables with bolt cutters. "It's not the volts that kill you; it's the amps."
