Patient of the day!
So, yesterday I went downtown with my mum to pay a ticket, and we were distracted by the Eatons Centre till after I would have to be at work to avoid getting locked out. So I didn't go. Instead I woke up at 7:30 this morning and went in. It took me like 20 minutes from door to door, this is a trip that is usually 45 minutes to an hour long. I pulled the charts for today (this being the bare minimum I can do), and was stealthily slipping out when I bumped into Bev in the hall. The derm's office she (and I) work in is closed this week, but she needed to drop off day sheets so I can pull the charts for next week when I'll be away camping.
I was originally planning on going home to bed (I didn't get to sleep till near 4 last night, so was tired) then getting up and coming back in to work in the afternoon. But Bev spent forever detailing what I needed to do, so I just stayed and worked. I got really hungry round 11 but couldn't bear to pay crazy fast food prices for the crap near my office, so I took a nap instead. Because I wasn't planning on being there more than 20 minutes, I didn't bring my bag or sweater (the building over-airconditions like woah!), so I was freezing. After much experimentation, I decided the warmest (and therefore best for napping) spot was directly under the doctor's desk, so that is where I spent like 2 hours sleeping. So glad Bev didn't come back for any reason, getting caught sleeping curled up under the desk with a lab coat blanket... not good. Then I got up feeling better and less hungry/cold, worked in that office till six, went next door and made up the rest of the work I missed yesterday and still made it home hours earlier than usual.
As for the titular (hehehe 'titular'!) awesome patient; some poor woman today got the following message on their answering machine: (Addie reads phone number and dials, but doesn't look at patient's name)*BEEP* (Addie noticing patient's name now): OMG! SQUEE! Janet Fraser! ... shit! ... Um, this is Addie calling from Dr. Longs office (appointment details here)Have a great night, Bye! shit!shit!shit! (Addie finally manages to hang up before making an even larger fool of self).
Then while filing I had a major squee at John O'Neill, because Jack is just a nickname for John afterall.
