this and that

Congratulations to Joe and Karie, Paige Riley was born October 29, 2008 at 12:50pm! She weighs 6 lbs, 3 oz.

I am sort of an aunt for the first time!

Let me explain. Kari is Shellina’s sister. Shellina is Rickie’s wife. Rickie is Adam’s brother. And we all hang out and I love them and their family and Im sort of Kari’s sister in law so I get to be Auntie Em now.

We visited her at the hospital Thursday afternoon and what a lovely baby. It didnt even cry, it was the best behaved hooligan Ive ever held. It was wrapped in a blanket that I bought Kari for her baby shower, which was neat.

Dont get any thoughts though that I am wanting one, k? The pain Kari was having after her C section was more than enough to keep me from reproducing any time soon.

today pepe ate a tea bag out of the trash

The only reason I havent posted anything about how bad hospitals etc are getting is because I cant put it into words, I am usually so frustrated. A lot of us nurses and CNAs and even doctors are trying to get out of the medical field, its getting so bad. The pay isnt worth it. Half of us arent even getting paid THAT well. Plus, when I worked at Hutcheson, we’d get called off all the time. Then when you do work, with less nurses, its so miserable that everyone is leaving.

I wont even go into the ER situation. I dont work there, but have friends that do, so I hear plenty of retarded stories. People are pretty much using the ER for anything/nothing, which takes time away from us trying to treat people with actual problems and emergencies. It is unbelievably frustrating to me to take care of a person who is only there to try to get narcotics. It is a complete utter waste of time. When you have 5 patients, and the other 4 are actually ill, possibly even with cardiac issues, you dont have time to deal with someone faking crap wanting drugs. Im done with that for now.

And then there is people wanting universal healthcare like Canada and what not. To most people, I know it sounds like a good idea. It isnt, really. I thought this quote on the whitecoatrants blog was really good:

The last sentence in 911DOC’s post provides a good summation of where our healthcare system is headed:
“America will get what it wants, free health care, and it will be worth what other free stuff is worth.”

Keep that in mind.

Ugh, seriously. as soon as I can get out of the medical field, I am. It isnt worth the pay, frustration, fatigue, and stress. I love helping people, but they are going to have to find some other sap to do it.

When I get bored,  I often read medical personnel’s blogs. This entry from whitecoatrants.blogpress.com made me laugh:

A 20 year old came in at 11:30 PM for the following complaint: “There’s something crawling inside of me.”
“Where?”
“In my stomach.”
“OK, just out of curiosity, when was your last period?”
“About 6 months ago.”
“Hate to break it to you, but you’re probably pregnant.”
“How do you know?”
“I don’t. Let’s see. Hmmm. Your uterus is sticking up to the level of your belly button. That usually means you’re about 20 weeks pregnant.”
“There’s nothing else that it could be?”
“Well, I suppose you could be constipated. Hmmm. Hear that heartbeat of about 152 when I put the Doppler on that lump in your belly? That would be the baby’s heart beat.”
“Are you sure that isn’t my heart rate?”
“No, see that pulse oximeter reading on the monitor? Your heart rate is 88. This one is 152. Big difference.”
“Are you sure it couldn’t anything else?”
“Unless we’re on another planet and this is a scene from Alien, then yes, I’m sure.”
“Does that mean that you’re not going to do a pregnancy test on me?”
“Yes, it does.”
“You’re saying you know for sure I’m pregnant without even checking a pregnancy test?”
“Yes I do. You should read my blog some time.”
“I should what?”
“Nevermind. Have a nice day.”

When the Backstreet Boys first came out, I might have been a fan, and AJ McLean was my favorite. He was the “bad boy”.

This is what he looked like back then:

NOW HE IS SO UGLY AND FAT AND BURNT OUT LOOKING!!!

i am so upset tbh

I want a little baby pig.

Adam says no. I said I was going to get one anyways. He said he would only let me keep it til it got big and fat and then he was going to make it into bacon and eat it.

I agreed that was okay, and that when he ate it, I’d just get a new baby pig, and the cycle would continue.

He still says no.

I thought it was a good idea.

look how cute

mom bought me and adam sonicare toothbrushes!

and speaking of sonicare toothbrushes this picture of it is retarded

I have a faux hawk again, but it is currently not up in this picture.

And started playing Rock Band with Adam.

Our band is called Snuff Box, because I like Anatomy and Physiology, and its the first thing I thought of. If you dont know where your Anatomical Snuff Box is, please see the diagram below.

I have no idea who made this, I just googled “happy birthday adam” to see what would come up. The asparagus was a nice touch, so I picked this one. The cake I saw I kinda liked, but then I didnt want to use it on my ~sfw~ blog cuz it had a penis candle.

So I know this guy, and every update I ever hear about him is just hilarious.

A., if you read this, I am sorry, but your life is so funny and awful.

So A. gets a new great job as a bank teller. He totally just got fired.

FOR CLOGGING UP THE TOILETS SO BAD THAT THEY HAD TO GET A PLUMBER TO FIX IT SO MANY TIMES THAT IT WAS COSTING THE BANK TOO MUCH MONEY.

He also dated a blind girl, but thats another story.

One of the patients on the floor who is confused and keeps wandering around toilet papered the hall bathroom Tuesday night.
