time or not

I'm entering the "I-should-go-to-bed-now" vs "o-what-the-heck-stay-up-longer" zone. Saved lives today as well as tomorrow. Not too bad since we're "flexing up" - meaning it's busy enough for extra staff, which also means that if you're in a fairly busy unit, you don't have to come out and help on the floor. yippee.

I'm in the trauma-surg icu, so there's the usual gunshot wounds, stabbings, and crushing work-related injuries that break every bone in your face type o' patients. Oh, and hearts. Not hearts like they're beating out of sync, but hearts as in "the patients were in perfect health until they had a major heart attack and needed a by-pass (surgery)" type of hearts.

So it's a nice change from the patients that drink, smoke, and shoot drugs to mess their health up kind o' patients... the icu that I work the most frequently in.

ya, maybe I'll stay up just a leeeetle bit longer.
k?
