We have a whole new crew this year. A few left overs from last year are still hanging on. They are far from the doe eyed new nurses who thought they could actually make a difference and that people actually wanted help and/or a little education! Most people just want to create a problem and drop in on you to fix it.
- I didn't take my insulin, I ate a whole pie today, why should I wait in the waiting room...
- I got drunk and slept with god-knows-how-many strangers, now I have PID and I want that morning after pill (oh and a little something for the pain)
- I've been on lortabs-shooting-snorting-whatever, Now I'm outta money and drugs and I'm "jonesing" for something. When I come in can you give me something for withdrawl? (yes, this was a quote from an actual call I answered last weekend) I personally liked the dry out method in that Johnny Cash movie....
- and of course the 3 am cold symptoms for two weeks on new years who was PISSED she had to wait TWO hours d/t the mvc/traumas
