  • Exsqueeze me?

    Overheard today in the ICU (according to a secret source):  "You see, in pulmonary/critical care we can actually do something about the ABG [acid-base problems], unlike nephrology, who can only talk about it."

    So I guess the next time you call me at 2 AM to save your okole because your patient is dying due to acidosis you are unable to fix/prevent, I'll just take you out to Starbucks and get some coffee so we can 'talk,' eh?  Do you want one lump or two?

    The amount of ego sundaes served in the hospital never ceases to amaze me.  Arrogance is fun, but humility is safer for the patient.

    HAHA!

    Sorry, I'm just ornery because work was supah dupah fly bizzay this week after vacation.  Haha!  I'll try and crank out a post for next week!  Have a great weekend!  Eat your vegetables!
