The doctor quit last night. Pitched a fit while seeing his second patient. Chaos reigned more than usual.

Can't wait for the next episode!

Another one bites the dust ...

Psychokiller girlfriend worked one shift this week.

She had two patients and a psych referral (goes straight to the psych unit, we never see them). I left itemized instructions for dealing with the two referrals. An average night is 4 to 6 patients plus the psych referrals.

She resigned first thing Sunday morning, sent an email giving 2 week's notice. Sent bossdude an email. I'm supposed to act surprised when I find out tomorrow.

Wow you have more turnovers than Arby's!

There was also a nursing assistant fired for assisting nurses in a way not covered in his job description.

You gotta explain more about that one. :D

Apparently he was found en flagrante delicto by another of his paramours. It seems that many of the nurses are Nurse Jackie.

So he got fired for doing rather than assisting; but, wasn't practicing without a license. I'd like to hear him explain that at his next job interview.

The night weekend girl has a "prescription." It is only a matter of time until that becomes a full blown relapse. Her thing is coke and booze, but it's all kind of a slippery slope. Hyperguy's thing was coke too, I think.

Today, from a telephone interview ...

wolf: So, what are you drinking

DrunkOldLady: Ensure Mudslides.

I'm in the midst of an eight day stretch without a break including a double going into it, a 12+-hour shift to start it. I won't be coming up for air until this coming weekend.

But I may end up being able to cover my rent this month.

I question the appropriateness of the rehab receptionist greeting all the patients by saying "Happy Cinco de Mayo."

Absolutely! She should have said "Feliz Cinco de Mayo." It was in poor taste to greet the patients in Spanglish.

Great moment of the day

Patient: That place, it was crazy.
Me: It's a mental institution.
Patient: The police brought in this guy, he was in a towel.
Me: It's Friday.
Patient: What?
Me: Most days they don't have the towel.

Always know where your towel is!
