HEY. You asked. Don’t be a smartass.

[drshellycross-blog]

What does “smartass” mean?

[elliottgilbertmd-blog]

I never thought I would be able to say that getting puked on by children would be a regular occurrence for me; I’m going through new scrubs so quickly. Nevertheless, children are still the light in every day for me whether they’re puking on me or not. They put us adults to shame, really. We should take more advice from them, they know what’s going on. Anyway, if you don’t know who I am, then that’s your problem. You should by now.

Kids have that projectile vomit thing down to an art. I don’t know how you can handle it on a daily basis. Perhaps the adorable little faces make up for it, but that’s a big perhaps.

[drfhudson]

I’m kidding, I’m kidding. You know you’re always invited.

It’s a video game. Lots of knife fights and scavenging. Fun times.

[drshellycross-blog]

That’s more like it.

A video game?! I hadn’t guessed. Is that what PS4s are used for?

[smalltownbeans]

I really hope so. I’ve never been too good at navigating buildings. Thanks! I’m Callie, first year resident.

[drshellycross-blog]

Hospitals certainly don’t make it easy. I think it’s a rule that they must be a maze, or they can’t officially be called a hospital, the larger ones, at least. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Callie. I’m Shelly.

[drfhudson]

Just for that, you’re not invited to my on-call room party, ya jerk. Rude.

[drshellycross-blog]

I’m hurt, and offended! I said I would keep your secret, and this is how you repay me? Uncalled for.

In all honesty, I have no idea what Far Cry is...

[flynnhudsonmed]

The last thing I want is to be throwing up during my first ever shift..

Thanks… I hope I get better too, I’ve been waiting many years for this, and I’m not going to let a sickness bug get in the way of my dream job.

My name’s Blaine, by the way, Blaine Anderson.

[drshellycross-blog]

Those stomach bugs usually only last twenty-four to forty-eight hours, which might sound like forever while you’re puking your guts out, but is actually quite quick.

It’s a pleasure to meet you, Blaine. I’m Shelly, Shelly Cross.

[drfhudson]

So, I’m on call on the release of the new Far Cry game. 

With that being said, if you just happen to notice a PS4 in an on call room, just ignore it. Let it happen. Shhhhh…

[drshellycross-blog]

Nope, won’t do it. You must suffer through work with the rest of us.

Kidding, of course. Your secret is safe with me.

[drmarleyrose-deactivated2016031]

Looking forward to this weekend’s ball. Is it sad that I’m going to be going stag though? I have so many things to do before then. Specially trying to find a dress. 

[drshellycross-blog]

It’s probably better that you start all of this nonsense dateless. It’s nice preview for the rest of your life in the medical field.

[flynnhudsonmed]

When you feel like you could pass out at any moment…

There’s never a good time to get sick, but I’d rather be sick now than be sick when I’m starting a new job, I just hope that I’m better before my start date, because I really want to be the best I can be, and that won’t happen if I’m constantly tired and throwing my guts up.

[drshellycross-blog]

Plus side, there plenty of barf bags around the hospital.

Honestly, I hope you feel better by the time your first shift roles around. It’s hard enough without the ended stress of throwing up.

[callmesamiam-blog]

I hear there’s a super spiffy ball on Saturday that we’re expected to dress to impress. I usually wear clip on ties but my mom told me over the phone that just won’t cut it this time. I… uh… don’t know how to tie an actual tie, but have no fear, I have a photographic memory, and I can Google a guide or something… right? Or… I could ask someone to tie my tie for me. So I don’t accidentally end up hanging myself in the process. Which seems ironic. Because I’m a doctor. 

[drshellycross-blog]

If you manage to hang yourself trying to tie a tie, I’ll be extremely impressed. We can try to keep a bed open for you in the ER, and you can make your first attempt there, just to be safe.

[smalltownbeans]

True to form, I’ve managed to find myself lost about 8 times, and that was just before lunch. That being said, I haven’t actually fallen behind in my little impromptu look around yet which is a miracle in itself. Still, it’s good to finally be here all the same.

[drshellycross-blog]

The twists and turns can be a bit much at first, but you’ll get the hang of it before too long. Welcome to Seattle Grace Mercy West!

[santanalopezmd-blog]

There’s nothing like a double shift and more than a few self-righteous nurses to really make me question my career choice. Lucky for them, I’m a professional and kept my mouth shut… for the most part. Although, if I happen to run into any of them off hours then it’s so on.

God, I need a drink.

[drshellycross-blog]

I try my best not to piss off the nurses. They could make my life a living hell just as easily as I could do the same to them. If a throw down happens, however, make sure that you get it all on film. MDs v. RNs is a match-up for the ages.
