NtheSeaOrSky 0 #27 May 14, 2006 QuoteQuote Our ER has been pretty empty all day, I have not hauled one person there either.. so my 24 hr shift thus far has been right here infront of the TV and this computer. I don't want to jinx myself because I want to sleep tonight, but I am bored! Joe knockin' on wood for you (my head).... I'm hoping that everybody's gettin' it out of their systems now so that I can get a couple hours of shut-eye tonight too.... or I'll just have to come and post while I'm waiting on labs and films and stuff, like now. Oooh. Soon we'll have PACS up in the louge. I'll be able to put in orders, check labs AND x-rays and CTs from right here in this chair. Even do my charting....from way across the hospital! I'll have to be really motivated to scoot over there periodically to actually see a patient...lol linz PLEASE for the love of whatever God you worship.. do NOT dictate reports with the radio BLARING in the background!!! .Life is not fair and there are no guarantees...

It was just brought to my attention by one of the radiologists who popped into the lounge that PACS is ALREADY up over here... BWAAAAAA hee hee. Woo HOO! I'm waiting on x-rays now, and I don't have to move my lazy ass looking for films.... YIPPEE! linz-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

I'm trying NOT to eat too much being stuck here on nights - boredom is my killer - I'll snack through an entire bag of chips/salsa (or worse, double stuff oreos) in a night if I'm not careful!Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.
