All a matter of perspective
Last evening I was frantically trying to take a manual blood pressure on a very sick patient and without realizing it at first, was totally flashing him my bra down my shirt. I had stupidly hung my communicator badge (think Star Trek) on my shirt, which pulled the whole thing down as I bent over listening with my stethoscope! I was mortified. As if I wasn't having a hard enough time as it was! Well the powers that be helped me realize how insignificant that was in the grand scheme as this guy ceased to breathe and became unconscious followed by the flurry that is a code blue. I highly doubt he'll remember he ever met me, let alone that I accidentally flashed him.
I had to share that because every once in a while we get reality checks like that. It's why when I'm having a bad day and I hear an ambulance, I always remind myself it could certainly be worse! And then I have to cheer up. So in the end the free show didn't ruin my night but instead became instantly humorous and worthy of sharing.
