So, My case was cancelled today due to a patient refusing an IV. I mean, you asked for surgery for a busted up, shattered, SMASHED elbow, but walk away because you refuse to have an IV put in? Welcome to Woonsocket. The world of nonsense and ridiculousness.
So here's my day so far. I was up periodically throughout the night because this is the day I resign. From this crazy fucking job that has made me periodically cry, scream, throw things, and laugh uncontrollably- sometimes all at once. So I was up periodically thinking about how I.. wanted to write my letter (carefully), if I should offer to stay on Per Diem (yes), and how much I would ask to do so (lots and lots and LOTS!!!).
Then I got up to find Ricky standing on the Jeeps hood. Yes. My brandy spanking new Jeep that I flew down to SC and drove back to get, in the exact color and transmission and hardtop and BT that I wanted? Because there were NONE any closer? Yes. That Jeep. That is now covered in goat hoofprints and goat scratches from him CLIMBING HIS WAY UP!!!! Yes. That Jeep. By 6:17 in the morning, I had a rifle in my hands and was sighting him down the barrel, calming my breathing because I knew that soon, at least one problem in my life would be dealt with. Permanently. Ain't no coming back from this, kid. Hah. Kid. So appropos. And then the gun jammed. Divine intervention? Maybe. I will clean it and try again tonight. Then we shall see how many lives that fucking goat has.
Mostly to work (8:00AM), a normal WEdnesday morning, or so I thought, Launer calls to leave me a voicemail questioning if the case is at 8:30, and if I'm helping. I have no idea, but after calling Luci, yes.. there is a case. Yes, I am helping, but no... It was supposed to start at 7:30. Whoops. Now let me haul ass to the OR, where there's no H&P, everyone's screaming, guy has MRSA, Launer's not there, where's ABBI!!!??? And.. after all that gets settled down, H&P gets written (somehow, because I've never met this man, but by golly, there's the barest bones of an H&P in the computers), case gets cancelled bc guy will not have an IV put in. Ooookaaaayyy...
Get across the street, go to make a coffee so I can do paperwork and write my letter in the next 4 hours of cancelled office hours, and... asshole drank all the milk, went across the to Dr's lounge to make more and didn't bring any back, and.. Now I'm upset. So, I get milk and make sure I lick allll along the pouring edge.. And smile! Yes. I may have reverted back to middle school, but by golly, it felt really good. Haiiiiyah!
And now, I literally just shit my insides out bc Larkin posted it's times- not only am I driving up alone bc Shelby's barnmate begged for a ride, but the event is full. Not accepting entries. Running from 7am to 6pm. I am.. So nervous, I literally just shit my brains out. Or so the toilet thought. Wooo hoo eventing! BRING IT ON!!!!
