The graying of Nurse Rachett

Dec 20, 2013 18:48

The universe is conspiring to let me know I'm getting old.

End of day, I'm already on overtime, cruising back to the office through one of the back hallways near administration. Nearing the doctor's lounge, there are two kids sitting in the hallway texting. Ok, what ever, they're not hurting anyone, and maybe they just needed a quiet spot for a few. There are security cameras on both ends of the hallway, and they are right outside of the doctor's lounge.

They had their legs stretched out, and I was weaving through the maze they created for me, it occured to me one of the "kids" was in scrubs. The other one apologized for being in the way, and I told him I didn't mind at all.

As I passed, he turned to the other "teen", "So, then the dosage of morphine by this..."

Oh, dear lord. Those aren't teenagers texing. Those KIDS are doctors using the medication app on their smart phones.
