Then my replacement on the next shift decided to call at 7 to let me know she overslept. So 45 minutes later she showed up. So my 6p to 7a turned into 6p to almost 8a. Throw in a fuck ton of stress from personal shit and I was either about to break or break someone. Thankfully we had absolutely zero patients in the ER from 3a to about 6:30a. It was strange. No walk ins, no ambulances bringing in the elderly, and no fire rescue. Everyone who had been in the ER either got admitted to Tele/ICU/Med-Surg, or got sent home, so there was literally nobody in the ER except the workers. Not a single patient. It was the most serene 3 and a half hours I think I've seen in any ER. So naturally we're going to get fucking slammed tonight. Oh well, take what you can get.

We had an ok night, I covered fast track and housekeeping stripped the floors so I was displaced for a few hrs. Then they all came in after that. 2 transfers from a satelite clinic. One OB case and a nice tri maleolar fracture/dislocation. The dude at the other place did a prety good job reducing it. Had another one I signed out that i will follow up tonight, I am curious if she had anything wrong or was jsut nuts.
