Random things that are bugging me today

How can one dog shed so much? My rug looks like a brown mohair sweater. Unfortunately it's real color is beige.

How can a patient that came in for a wart possibly think they need to be seen before a person getting CPR? And why would they, or anyone for that matter, think it is okay to walk into another patient's room - where CPR is in progress - to ask how much longer they are going to have to wait?

Why don't administrators realize that the department that admits more than half of the patients is an IMPORTANT part of the hospital? How many of you ER people think your department is treated like the red-headed step-child?

How many of you think that the people that are using the bail-out money to give bonuses to executives should be burned at the stake?

how can one thirty year old male vomit his body weight in two hours? And why do young adult males need to make so much NOISE when they vomit?

Why does it take one doctor to take 7.25 hours to decide the patient needs to be admitted when everyone else knew as soon as the patient was put in the room?

If the schizophrenics are crazy......why do so many of them have the same delusions?

How can gas be $2.78 today and $5.69 in July?

The last comment is going on my favourite quotations list - It's fantastic (and slightly worrying).

Love the schizophrenic line!

I have a golden doodle (golden retriever/poodle mix). Went out of my way to get one because they are supposed to have the personality of a retriever, but not shed as much. HA! She sheds three times as much as my golden did and it looks like I have pubes all over my house cause she's black and curly.

In my humble opinion, I think nephrology is the red headed step-child but the Emergency Department may be that cousin that has the big truck that everyone ignores until they need to move.

I also think the ER is the red-headed step child that is ignored until it absolutely can no longer be ignored. Great post!

Cannot answer the first ones, but I was just thinking about the last one today. Lowest gas price seen around here? $2.11. Un-freakin' believeable.
