Smells Like Funk Hospital

Tuesday, December 6th, 2005 at about 7:17 pm

today was a light day at the hospital — so grace and i actually got out early/on time for once. woo!

things that i have learned on this rotation:

- glucophage can cause diarrhea

- if a patient doesn’t poop, he can become confused/obtunded

- if you want to get a nurse’s attention, scream her name repeatedly. if she doesn’t respond, start pinching her butt until she does. if she’s not in pinching distance, pinch a nearby nurse’s butt until that nurse runs away and gets the attention of the one you want.

- every day is bad smell day

- you can admit a patient from the ER if the docs can’t find his testicle

- there’s always a patient who needs an I & D

- even cuckoos get sick

- the 605 is not a happy place to be around 6pm

fabulous things

Friday, December 2nd, 2005 at about 10:17 pm

as usual, when i try to shop for other people… i just end up finding things that i want. for example:

floss.jpgfrom flight001, the perfect ticket/document holder for my trip to italy (and hopefully many, many, many subsequent trips outside the country). pink for me, grey for ryan. of course, we’ll probably just end up going ghetto-style with ziploc baggies and sharpies.

a super fantastico polaroid t-shirt

the orbit tote from holly aiken

your best friend and mine, my pet fat

cute little petit fountain pens

funky plastic vacuum sealy containers for the kitchen
