A day at work (49)
Tuesday 01 September 2009 at 8:04 pm "Doctor? Doctor! I must ask... I get palpitations every time I look at a beautiful woman. Is it normal?""Most men think it is."
(How I missed the nursing home, I love it to be back!)
Smoking...
Friday 24 April 2009 at 4:19 pmCalls [random herbal-product-making-company]:
"Could you tell me why you put [random herb] in [random formula]? Cos actually there aren't a lot of trials around that investigate [random herb] but there are a fair few considering [other random herb] which seems to have a similar effect."
4 hours later:
"Well, we put it in because we think it's good."
"Perhaps you've got some information of trials for me, cos i don't seem to be able to locate this information."
"Well, we haven't got information on trials done with [random herb], but we just think it's good."
You might be able to imagen that after a few more questions (mainly about registration of side effects of [random formula] - no registration), and after putting down the phone i was slightly fuming...
A day at work (48)
Friday 10 April 2009 at 9:15 pm And just finished the last ER shift...April fools
Wednesday 01 April 2009 at 8:03 pmNot joking... 3rd day on the Cardiovascular A&E, and i was the person in charge... *oops* Thought it was a nice joke when no patients showed up in the morning. Unfortunately 10 of them decided to come in the afternoon... I managed, but it was a long, long day

Monday 23 March 2009 at 11:00 am Here we go! My first late night ER-shift...A day at work (46)
Tuesday 17 March 2009 at 5:38 pm"What exactly is my responsibility as acting MD?"
"Just make sure they're still warm when you deliver them to their regular MD."
"Oh."
A day at work (45)
Wednesday 11 March 2009 at 6:41 pm A positive side to my new job: the wednesdays aren't so bad anymore... or at least not so bad compared to mondays, tuesdays, thursdays and fridays.A day at work (44)
Tuesday 10 March 2009 at 8:11 pmToday I had a pretty good day. We laughed a lot. I didn't feel completely stupid. Even did some usefull things and learned something.
What changed you might ask? Don't know precizely. Don't know if it's just one day or a more permanent effect. I do know I came prepared today... brought pieces of labadorite, citrine and jasper... and the fact I re-read some books in the weekend might helped.
