Job Hunt

Doctor: How's the job going?
Me: Well, I'm waiting to hear back, but I applied at this other place and I think they require their employees to be christian.
Doctor: Hmm...
Me: So, if I interview and they ask me if I'm a christian what do I say?
Doctor: Praise the Lord!

The Unit

There is a large angry man strapped to a stretcher in the seclusion room down the hall. He has begun to yell a bit and I'm torn between wanting to know what's going on and not wanting to risk getting my ass beat. Should be an interesting day on the unit.

The psychology of a psychiatrist

For the rest of this week my co-worker will be out and I will be covering for her. This is good because upon her retirement on the 30th I will be taking her position. So, this morning I rounded with the Attending (Dr. G) and other members of the team. Dr. G told me at the beginning of rounds that I am one of his favorite people in the world. I didn't know what to say except 'thank you'. Then I started thinking about just what the hell he was trying to do kissing my ass like that. Now, I really like this particular doctor, but it was strange and he probably tells everyone that anyway so I should just take the compliment and move on. Which I did.

Way past my bedtime

The only good thing about being at work at 1:20 AM? The money.
