really dude?

sorry i have not written in so long, i don't have to much to say except that i'm very busy with the kiddo's and yes, my job still sucks most days.

the only new things are:

a. if you are going to stay overnight with your loved one, please where pajamas. i do not like seeing you come out of the bathroom in the middle of the night- in your underwear, it's bad enough i have to look at perineums, and lochia, let only your ugly ass in stained underwear!

b. evidence based practice has confirmed that rm#2 is graded to the right- if your wife does have a postpartum bleed, it will run out of her to the floor and if we're lucky enough down and out into the hallway---watch you're step!

c. don't take the liberty of showing you're loved one how to use the breast-pump you look like an idiot, seriously ring for a nurse to show your wife---that was gross and i really would prefer seeing her use it correctly than you!

d. why on god's green earth would the two of you EVEN consider to have sex only 2 days post delivery than not only ruined my day, but my year---good grief

Super Delivery

Last night, I had a wonderful delivery for me--- anyway. Patient was a G2, P1 laboring patient, who was pretty sure her water broke on the way to the hospital---husband pretty much confirmed this too.

She came in pretty upset, she only started to have ctx. over the past 30 minutes, and her water probably broke 10 minutes prior to her arrival. She was screaming or shouting something about an epidural, but after making it through triage in a record time of 2 minutes she delivered a beautiful Baby Girl via her pant-leg and amazingly enough, did not sustain an tears and or lacerations. Though her pants were laid to rest and the fact she was insisting on an epidural post delivery---it was an amazingly fast delivery.

Mother and baby were healthy and happy as could be:) It made my night. See, somedays I really do enjoy my job!

Some answers are Priceless

So, occasionally The Other Half needs to ride with EMS/Fire Rescue, as part of his job. They received a call very early in the am about some man bleeding.

Being we live in a Big Screwed Up City--it could be anything from a paper cut to a gun shot wound.

So, he and his partner showed up in the Rig. They found a 30 something year old man sitting on the curb with blood soaked clothing and a towel wrapped over his arm.

The man was very hesitant to remove it, but after some talking too, the man removed the towel so The Other Half and his partner could take a look.

The man was missing one of his fingers, when asked what had happened to it, the man replied, "when I woke up this morning it was gone!"
