Black Cloud

"Every month, one resident gets the black cloud designation. This month, it's you."

Yeah, thanks. Why me? I dunno. 9 admission last night. 8 admissions Thursday night. 3 patients transferred from outside hospitals arrived in the CICU within 5 minutes of each other. The fact that the sickest patients who remain intubated were ALL admitted by me in the past 1-2 weeks. The fact that on our current list of patients, I have admitted more than half of them. The fact that on my last 2 calls I have gotten, at best 30 minutes of sleep-TOTAL.

Oh, maybe I get it.

But ya know what.. even with that black cloud *knock on wood* I'm keeping afloat, and there haven't been any unexpected outcomes.

Time for a nap.
