Gwenllian07: so in the ER, the triage nurse pulled my bandage off with much gusto (the bandage that was really a scrap of cloth margaret had tied around her head as a ninja scarf, and in the process, she ripped my wound open further
SpookyFox513: i love it when that happens
Gwenllian07: then she saw that i was bleeding on her nursing station and got pissed, and then proceeded to wrap an entire roll of gauze around my thumb/hand/wrist/ forearm
SpookyFox513: triage nurses are are angry motherfuckers
Gwenllian07: then sent me out into the wating room looking like a mummmy. While i was sitting there with stephanie and margaret watching some amazing show on the sci fi channel, an aging hippy dude hobbled into the ER waiting room. He sat down and talked to himself/ the room at large about how stupid the nurses are, then he mumbled incoherantly for awhile.
Then he glanced over in my direction, "what the hell did you do to your hand?"
I replied "the nurse got a lil' crazy with the gauze, it ain't that bad" and he shouted "you were gettin' crazy with the guys?!"
"damn girl, i bet he has a smile on his face"
Then margaret looked at me admonishingly, "Jenny, Jenny, Jenny..." she said shaking her head, which only further provoked the old (presumably intoxicated) hippy man. He mumbled somthing, the only part of which i caught was "i guess i haven't seen everything in the bedroom"
I was bright red by this point and the entire waiting room was starring at me. Then we watched the sci fi channel for awhile and he talked to gomez about the sci fi channel and how it occassionally defies the laws of physics- and how that ain't very science-y.
Then he turned back to me and said "as long as we are comparing appendages...." and took off his shoe, which happenned to be some old school airwalks- he was also wearing a beanie and an adidas track jacket- pretty hip for an aging coot. Then he complained about a pain in his heel and shoved his foot in my face. I saw nothing wrong with the foot, and told him that I didn't think he had stepped on any glass or anything. He put his foot down and hobbled over to the ER nurse to complain some more, leaving his socks and shoes beside me
Then i got called back, and apparently when margaret and i left, he moved into my seat and proceeded to focus his attentions on stephanie gomez. cheeky old bastard.
SpookyFox513: er trips are always quite the adventure, because there's someone like that guy 99.9% of the time. The surreality of er experiences are amplified by the fact that you're exhausted, because medical emergencies never seem to happen during the day.
Gwenllian07: no kidding
