ER post

From duty at the ER I come home and find I can't fall asleep. I am definitely sleepy after getting only 15-minute naps between bedside procedures and assessing new patients who arrive. There are a lot of patients awaiting labs, IJ catheter insertions and dialysis. At two in the morning very few patients arrive. If it were not for due blood extractions and IV insertions I could have probably slept a good two hours before morning endorsements.

I come home from duty at the ER. I am tired but can't fall asleep.

I turn on the TV and watch ER instead.


Such is life.
