snowing

So it snowed last night while I was on call so I didn't get to play in it...at least it didn't keep me from leaving post call...that blame goes to the attending who decided to do things his way rather than the protocol. So instead of seeing the sick babies first and then the kids up on the peds floor, we saw the well babies because there was a nurse who kept harassing us to see one of her patient's baby so they could leave. I told the attending that they could wait since we needed to see those who were the sickest first and he said "we need to see the discharges first." BS. No other attending runs things that way. The other complicating factor was someone who felt that moving the weekend that she made 39 weeks from her previous home in utah without any of her prenatal records would be a smart thing. You do sense the sarcasm right? Anyway, she delivered this morning around 10:30 so that kept me there longer. I did 2 deliveries on my call shift so I suppose that's not too bad. Anyway, i missed playing in the snow but I did go out and stand in the falling snow for awhile. The nurses all laughed at me. I don't care. One of the nurses slipped on the ice and whacked her head hard and got rolled over to the ED. Oh and I got some excitement when the patient who delivered when I first started out on sunday decided to have a hemorrhage at 4 pm. I was told I handled the situation well but it was with assistance from the experienced nurses who asked me if I wanted certain drugs...in other words, I just needed to say yes. I did know about 2 of the meds they were pulling out when I got to the room and ordered those doses so I suppose I needed some brain function. And in my head I kept saying "please stay alive until my attending shows up." Anyway, I'm rambling...

Oh, one more thing, I bought a snow shovel so I could shovel my steep driveway. There is the possibility that my driveway will be one ice slide in the morning and I will need to call about being late (oh darn...sarcasm again) but oh well...
I have decided that snow is pretty when it's not on the road.
