My husband is currently in surgery for the next 6 1/2 hours! He's taking it much better than I am 😳

If I didn't have financial obligations I would pack up and disappear for awhile 👌

[rural-medic]

Doing better today than I was yesterday. Still feel crappy and tachy but was sent home from the ER. Honestly surprised they let me go home tachy.

So I guess if you're going to go into SVtach into A-fib the best place would be to have it happen would be work 😳

Oxytocin is a hell of a hormone. I blame it for why I’m sitting here at work after midnight with a dopey smile on my face.

[logandoesnightnursing]

I read that as OxyContin the first time and I was kind of confused

[sarcasticbabywhispererjess]

I mean, that would also probably make me have a dopey smile too. But that wouldn’t be work appropriate.

I LOVE OLD PATIENTS

Me assessing a 98 year old man who’s spouse says he’s altered…

Me: “Sir do you know what day it is?”

98: “I think it’s Thursday.”

Me: “Do you know who won the election the other day?”

98: “Yea, that guy nobody wanted.”

This gigantic salamander was filmed crawling along a path near the Kyoto river in Japan. Daytime sightings of the nocturnal critters, which can be up to 5 feet long, are reportedly rare. You can watch the video here

Usually signals earthquakes at least from what I remember from river monsters.

God grant me the serenity ...

…to not kill the neurosurgery residents whose egos are so large they may need to give themselves a craniotomy so as to fit through the doorway.
