Two shifts ago I saw twenty patients without admitting anyone. I couldn’t remember a day where no one came in. It felt kind of historic, like a no-hitter or something. The various consultants threw me a ticker-tape parade on the way home.
Turns out the universe felt compelled to make up for it. I saw twenty-five patients last shift and admitted nine of them, an insanely high number on an overnight shift when I generally see a lot of trivial stuff (Congestion for three weeks? Really? You do realize it’s two in the morning). A long night for patients and staff alike, and the consultants ended up keying my car.
I would like to humbly request of the universe to make this next shift nice and regular.

Have you considered Shift-lax from Novartis pharmaceuticals? I’ve heard that helps to get nice, regular shifts.

That is fascinating and I am definitely going to check it out. Maybe we can get a rep out.
