Rumor has it...

Just like the song, we hear JC may be in the house very soon.

So, of course, they moved all the furniture in the waiting area in front of our clinic doors. Nice.

I hope they show while this mess is here and write up the idiot staff I work with.

However, in honor of our good JC friends, I cleaned out our coffee maker. If I'm going to be stressed, it's going to be locked in my office with a cup of coffee before my inquisition.

(Rant over). That is all. Enjoy your Monday.

Happy 4th of July

Thank you all who fight for liberty and justice for all every day, especially on the floors, on the wards, in the waiting, operating and triage rooms.

I raise my glass to you, wherever you are. If nurses aren't brave every day, no one benefits.

It's really Monday

It may be a holiday (banks are closed, Bubba's out of school) but it's still a Monday.

I told the nurse at my appointment this afternoon that there were several, telltale Monday signs. One, if it can go wrong, it will. Luckily, all my odd things that happened weren't life-threatening. Two, the doctor was late for my late afternoon appointment. No big deal...he's nice and doesn't short change you on your moments.Three, the parking lot was full. My favorite comment by one lady coming into the office, "There must be a lot of sick people here today."

Lady, if you only realized what you just said. I heard nary a cough (except for one cough out of a little boy on the far side of the room) while I was there.

Thank goodness they don't run late with the sick folks.

More to come...the week is still young.
