Ah, hospital room share stories. This reminds me of my room mate the last time I was in the P-Unit - a woman suffering from cocaine psychosis who thought she was Sharon Osbourne. Every night she'd wake up and start screaming "OZZY, WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME HERE?!?!?" before spending an hour running up and down the corridors. Her stories were a source of constant entertainment...

I think the Oubliette is an awesome idea. You should write about your life experience.

I wondered why there were so many guys here from corrections. Maybe one of their guys was hurt/sick and his buddies were keeping him company. Until after a full week of this, I saw the patient leaving the room, in a wheelchair ( ... )

What about the experimental economics of it? (not fishing for $, but opinions) The whole "pay what you think this is worth to you" aspect.

I think that's a great idea. It'll be interesting to see how that pans out.

I would have put something in the tip jar, however, I have a stack of bills to pay this month...woe!

My favorite thing when I've been stuck in the hospital, when you get the crazy families who start screaming at each other in the hall and have to be escorted out by security.

Before this great now three-weeks of bullshit (I'm counting both hospitalizations as one really long one at this point because 3 whole days and 2 half-days, dammit) , I hadn't been hospitalized since 1993, and I had to share a room then. But then I was a teen and my roommate mother-hen'ed me(in a good way) and it worked out.

My how things have changed in the past 15 years. I've stayed in worse hotel rooms. On purpose.

I like it here in Huntsville Hospital. I'm in the party unit. Seriously, the nurses are so cool (of course with my decade experience in EMS, I'm one of them). I stay up all night if I want, hang out with them. Go for a zero-dark-thirty vending machine raid down in the lobby, by myself, with my IV tree. They've even been on The Oubliette, giving their two cents.

Woot! 1am, time to break out the demerol and benzos.....ooh...shiny....little....lights

*grabs*
