I know I predicted a very very busy night last night but, while it was busier than Thursday, it wasn't nearly the usual Friday shit-show.
The highlight of the shift was working up some drunk brought in by the ambulance crew. After giving him a quick once over to make sure he wasn't hurt or bleeding anywhere. I asked him the usual questions: Any allergies? Any medical problems?
I asked him if he knew where he was at the moment and he answered, "Yeah. In a hospital, on a stretcher, talking to some asshole". The doc was overhearing the conversation. He looked at me and said, "He's obviously alert and aware. If he can make it to the exit without falling let him keep going".
Adios mi amigo. Hasta la vista.
