Crack Whores and Fakers

So... turns out the baby I delivered in the ER the other day is addicted to crack. Nice. I shoulda known. What first-time Mom comes in and delivers that fast?! Stupid backstreet crack whore. I hate that.

I had a pretty uneventful day today. Just a few triage patients... the regulars: "I threw up, so I thought I should come in." Did you call your doctor? "No. Can I have something to eat?" Sure... Would you like a mint on your pillow too??? Then there's the one who had contractions for 3 hours yesterday. Anything today? No... How the hell do you stupid people figure out how to breed?! Then there were about 3 "BP Evals" all from the same physician. Her BP is 104/63 - what exactly am I evaluating???

But what the heck, you need 'em every once in a while... I figure it's because we've delivered everyone within a 50 mile radius in the last 2 days. Should be good for a couple of days at least...
