Almost there

I'm in the delivery suite getting ready for a premie who we're expecting to have some breathing difficulties.  The baby is crowning and the respiratory therapist still isn't in the room so I send her a page.

A few minutes later, she bursts into the room, out of breath, and. . . without any of the needed respiratory supplies.

Me:  Hi, respiratory therapist, I'm glad you're here.  You wouldn't, by chance, have any . . . respiratory equipment?

Respiratory therapist:  ::still panting::  You paged me STAT so I figured I shouldn't stop for the airway cart.


Oh boy.

Nonchalance of the year award

Note a 2 year old's mom received from daycare today:

Morning activity:  Today we learned proper handwashing.  Practiced using soap from a pump!
12:00 - 1:00: lunchtime, ate well.
1:00 - 2:10: naptime
2:10 - 2:40:  Shaking all over.  Seizure?
2:40 - 3:00:  Great participation in circle time!

Anyone looking for a new daycare?

Overheard in the ED

MD (to custodian carrying heavy-duty pliers): What do you think those are used for more often, cutting locks off lockers, or removing objects from genitalia?

Custodian: Eh, about 50/50
