Not in the dramatic sense.. but last night was really life and death in the ER. One minute I'm telling a 19 year old that she is pregnant (surprise!) and then 30 minutes later I'm asking two women if they want us to continue doing CPR on their father. That was the spectrum of my night last night. You might be picturing lots of tears and hysterics, but in reality the 19 year old took the news well, as did her parents, and the sisters had been expecting their dad to pass away soon, and they were well prepared.
I'm off today. And sadly I need to finish a presentation that I have to give tomorrow. Nothing worse than having a "day off" and spending all day doing stuff for work.
