OK, so not only did I totally lie about updating every day, but I was so out of practice with updating that when I did so on Tuesday, I managed to erase the entry from the day before. It's deleted forever. Luckily I didn't say anything intelligent anyway.
Winner of the Most Non-Emergent Emergency Room Visit Award (MiNERVA) for yesterday: a "kid" who came in with a painful foot.
MICHELLE Which foot?
PATIENT This one.
MICHELLE Why does it hurt?
PATIENT Because it has a cut on it.
MICHELLE Well, that would do it.
Teeny little crack in the skin. The only thing was, the dude was clearly older than I was. His feet were like old man feet, all scaly and crusty and cracked. We gave him some antibiotics and an appointment with Podiatry. Emergency Room, people. EMERGENCY.
The worst thing about working nights is that you have to start getting ready to go in right at the time of day that you're most ready to take a nap.
