Busy night at work. Most patients were really ill/injured. One had to be airlifted to HMC due to his cardiac problem. I hope he made it. One patient came in complaining his blood sugar was too high. Well, no, the glucose was fine. The alcohol level, however, was high. I guess so was the patient since he was quite drunk. Sorry, Mister, but we can't fix that. Go home and enjoy the buzz. Doofus.
We had a patient whose diagnosis was "fell from horse". Huh? How do you fall off of a horse? I've been THROWN from a horse but I never fell off of one. Was this the drunk patient? No. He just doesn't know how to use his legs to hold on, I suppose. Well, I take all this back. Maybe the saddle slipped or something like that. Anyway, the wording just made me giggle. My imagination is weird. I was thinking, maybe the guy had been standing on the horse to change a light bulb and fell or something like that. (For the record, we used to have a barrel racing horse named Domino. He was skittish and not too bright. He threw me off on a few occasions. He tossed my uncle into a pricker bush.)
I ordered a watercolor painted convention badge today. :D A lady posted on the AnthroCon LJ that she was open for commissions. I saw that she did watercolors - probably my favorite media ever - and I loved her example. The person is Ishaway. I can't wait! :D I was thinking of buying a bunch of buttons off of eBay but I think the con badge will be a better investment.
