It's been about a week (I think) since I last posted and mostly that's because I have done nothing of interest worth posting about and nor have I thought anything particularly shareworthy. However, I can now inform people that I'm tough...at least tougher than some of my other ED counterparts, a lot of whom have called in sick the last few days but not me...despite a touch of gastro, chills, fevers, stomach cramps etc, I still turned up to work...partly out of guilt (I had agreed to cover the shift for someone) and partly cause I was hoping I'd be told to go home...silly rabbit, that never happens. So I turned up to work and felt awful the whole time I was there. And two other residents had called in unwell. Hence the conclusion that I'm tough. The culprit was either one of two things...I caught it off a patient. Very likely since that's been a majority of what I've seen the last week. Or I ate some dodgy double cream brie. It was tasty but I think that's what it was. Now on a more disgusting but rather fascinating note...I don't know about anyone else, but when I vomit, I seem to be able to separate things quite nicely as they come up. First came the pasta, then the tomato garnish, and finally the brie with crackers. I could tell not because they came up whole, but because of all the different and very pretty colours, resembling nicely the originals. Good thing I was feeling awful enough that I didn't get my camera out for a visual for this page. Anyway, I'm feeling better now. Still a little crampy in the stomach and still off my food, but I don't think I could any longer get away with calling in sick.
