Busy Weekend!

My days off went by too fast and once again I spent the weekend at work. Saturday was nutso busy with maternity patients. I had two deliveries which is pretty much unheard of at the Canmore hospital to have two babies in one day, and we almost had a third but she ended up going home. It was awesome to get so much experience in one day. I'm feeling pretty comfortable in the delivery room now having been with 4 patients in there in the last week. Yesterday I worked in emerg and it was really busy too. I sent a patient to Calgary with a broken hip, there were a few strains and sprains from the ski hills and had handfuls of patients with coughs, colds, runny noses. It's such a waste of the emergency department to see patients like that. I almost want to put up a sign on the front door saying "If you have a cough, cold or runny nose go to the walk-in clinic or see your family doctor" It gets pretty frustrating after awhile. I would have never in my life considered going to the ER for a cold. It amazes me what people consider to be an "emergency" Anyways, today I'm going to help Sue move the rest of her stuff to Ryan's place and then Travis is bringing the truck tonight to help with the big stuff. I've better get some breakfast and get moving.
