The Sick Diet
During my recent convalescence (in which I ate exactly nothing for an entire week), I apparently managed to drop 10 lbs...which certainly isn't healthy, nor was it intended, but now that I've discovered this startling link between not eating and losing weight, you can probably expect to see my name on the cover of the next issue of Science.
Also, today we had Bats in the Belfry ER. THAT was an adventure, let me tell you. Two bats managed (heavens knows how) to wind up in my ER today (and, no, they didn't come in as patients...but they almost left as casualties once patients started flinging purses and metal trays at the buggers), causing all manner of havoc. After only 4 short hours of terror (both caused by and directed toward the bats) a few of the orderlies managed to wrangle the duo, wrapping them up in bio-hazard bags before hiking across the street to free willy set them loose. Fortunately, no one was bitten...although I did have a...slightly intoxicated patient tell me that if one of "them there flying rats" came near him, he'd bite its head off...*Ewwww*
