Not a lot interesting lately...

The last few days in the ER havne't been too interesting. This is a combination of the things happening in the past few days...

Two garbage men rolled their garbage truck in the afternoon. Apparently they're top heavy. I got to stitch part of the passengers scalp back onto his head.

I was putting a splint on a six year old boy's broken wrist. He asked if he could come home with me and play with my kids. I told him I didn't have any kids yet. He told me, "Well, you better hurry up and get a baby in your tummy then!"

One of my really good, really easy IV's I put in an extremely drunk man (and by extremely drunk, I mean I swear he was swetting alcohol)... well, later when he sobered up enough to move, he stripped naked, ripped out his IV, and walked naked down the hall.

A 35-year-old woman got this big sliver under her finger nail and was absolutely out of control hystarical. She couldn't control herself. She's had five children, I think she should be more in control of her pain by now.

On another note, just so you all know... I'm toying with the idea of joining the National gaurd as an officer in the medical unit after I graduate. At this point, the money and experience is the big drawing factor. They'll pay off about $31,000 per year of my student loans for 3 years. Plus the regular officer pay and bonuses. So... it's tempting. But I haven't talked to a medical recruiter yet. And I haven't decided anything. And I'm in no hurry to decide. If I decide to do it, I would hope that if I got activated somewhere, it would be a hurricane or earthquake like the national gaurd was origionally intended for. So... I'm thinking about it. If you have political opinions on this about if the war is right or wrong or whatever, I would appreciate you keeping that to yourself. I'm not considering it because I totally agree with everything the national gaurd is involved with... but I do think the pay is amazing, and the experience would be as well. So, that's where I stand. I won't be making a decision for awhile yet. So, don't worry. :)
