Busiest. Night. Ever.

Well, I can officially say that I survived my first night shift at the hospital.
But when I say survived, I mean barely.

The doc got in around midnight and from that time till 8am he was just an energizer bunny. Which in retrospect was good when you take into consideration that at about 3 in the morning there were 27 patients on the board with more coming in, and when I left at 8am there were 9.

That might not seem like much, but since he was the only attending (granted he had 3 really good residents), and not all of the patients were there for completely BS reasons, and there were a few parents who were just frustrating to deal with, it was one hell of a night.

Overall though, it was a good experience. I managed to stay awake and on my toes the entire night (because well, with a night like that, you don't have time to think about being tired, or even having to go to the bathroom).

I can't wait to do another one :3
