Coping is fun

I'm always a little restless the night before a new rotation. Sunday night was no different, and I laid awake in my bed for longer than I'd hoped to, worrying about leaving behind the intensive care unit (the ICU) and switching to the general medicine floors.

H1N1 2009 Novel Swine Flu Thingie = Fewer Hospital Beds?

So the other day, grandma was taken to the hospital with various medical issues, and treated in the ER.

ICU beds and swine flu: the southern hemisphere experience

Cockroaches in the Intensive Care Unit

thanks for the zooborns link mike. wish more of our posts had engaging stories like that little anteater (although i dont wish more of the baby animals almost died).

Um, do you really want to link to that Eschaton post? What a load of garbage, and frankly I expect better from your blog. "My proposal: let people hunt, but allow some armed felons to roam the woods, hunting the people." Seriously, that's what you're linking to? I don't exactly know your opinion on hunting, but advocating for the violent death of people enjoying a legal activity is not only beyond the pale, it's fucking stupid.
