Week of Oct. 13...
I started working in the Emergency Dept (ED) this week. The ED has been experiencing a large number of mislabeled specimens going to the lab. This is a safety issue. So my fellow fellows and I have been stationed at the tube system charged with the task of checking every specimen before it goes to the lab. We also get to observe 10 blood draws per day. So fun. Not really. It's very, very boring. However, I try to remember I am actually getting paid to sit and chat with people as they bring their specimens. Plus, we get loads of sympathy. Today I was "rescued" by one particularly kind nurse. She asked me to help her transport her patient up to the ICU. Her patient with c. diff. If you don't know what that is, it's a highly infective intestinal infection that gives its victims horrible diarrhea. Ahh, lovely. But at least I got away from the tube system for a while.

So now I get to stay up late so I can start prepping to work all night on Friday night. I'm currently watching the Presidential Debate. Are these guys actually saying anything?

Enjoy the crabbing photos...
