Night Float Part 2
Once again, find myself sitting at the computer, in the hospital, at the nursing station, as the night marches on.
Taking care of a fellow doctors family member. That is hard. The familymember is doing a good job showing restraint, but of course it is extra pressure for everyone involved.
I am adjusting to the night schedule but don't like it. It is very hard having a topsy tervy day.
I have one open bed on the floor.....waiting for that admission.....it will come...
Wife is at home and has her days off.
Have work I should be doing, and am not. Not that I am doing anything constructive, just sitting on my ass looking at e-bay.
Found a lot of old AD&D. Very tempted to bid on it not that I will ever get to play again.
Guess that is why I like WOW so much. Can always play it.
poem:
E-bay provides the portal
Back to younger days with joy
with share of sadness

NightFloat
Sitting on my overnight shift. Working the "Nightfloat" job, which is admitting and crosscover all night.
My schedule is so wacked right now.
To fill you in. went to Hawaii for ten days with my wife and part of her fam. Felt good afterwards.
You see I was on the point of a break down.
I was tired, and after 21/2 months of being on call I just did not care. I did not care about my pts and I did not care what people thought of me.
Not good.
This are now better.
Everyone needs a break now and then.
It is funny being on nights. The world is very different at night. Sleeping from 8 am to 4 pm makes you feel very wierd.
life is once again pretty good.
Almost done being an intern. On to a Jr. Not rdy.
don't know enough to be a Jr.
People tell me I will be alright, but it is not the way I feel
insecurity
Little poem action
Floating throught the night
The Beeper goes off without stop
A new day will dawn
