I'm telling you, by 330p on Friday I'm having psychotic fantasies about that last patient who walked in with FBS of HHH and BP of 220/110! Oh, and you forgot to take meds this morning and have no idea why you are here today...why the frick did they come??!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15944817.post-23462130585875003132008-03-05T23:32:00.000-08:002008-03-05T23:32:00.000-08:00I'm right there with you.

The people that we are suppose...It isn't just you. The people that we are supposed to be helping can be frustrating. The people who are supposed to be helping us help our patients are frustrating. The "system" is endlessly frustrating. The fact that Lindsey Lohan does nothing all day but drive an expensive car and pretend to be someone else for a couple of hours while I'm on my 12th hour of work today and her net worth is about a zillion times what mine is is frustrating. Do you think that she would be willing to trade? Even for a week? I'm pretty sure she couldn't hack it... that's not such a frustrating thought!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
