So we've all heard about the crocodile hunter's tragic death due to a freak sting ray attack, well there was a patient at our hospital last week who also got shot through the heart by a sting ray barb and survived (the story was on CNN!). He's had several surgeries, one of which Sears got to scrub in on, so we had our household brush with fame.
In other exciting patient news, DS was admitting our patients last night (while I enjoyed a fabulous day off) and admitted a woman who complained of not feeling well for about two years. Apparently, both she and her 13 year old son had started not feeling well about 2 years ago when she purchased a Nissan. In an effort to determine the cause of the illness, she went to an acupuncturist who looked for heavy metal toxicities and found that they both had some abnormalities. Upon interview, she revealed that she had "missiles" in her stool that we composed of multiple types of metals. She also reported that when she washes her hair, smoke comes off of her head and that her hair feels like "toasted bread and butter." Finally, she described her skin as "silvery" and reported that it clicks and pops. When the missile complaint was further questioned, she responded that they were "ya know, missiles" and made a hand gesture complete with a sound effect illustrating a shooting object. Yeah, we got a psych consult on that one...
My day off also provided some amusement. After work on Saturday, a bunch of us decided to play tourist and we took the water taxi around to various restaurants and bars. Drinking is allowed on the boat, so we brought our own and only got a few dirty looks when we broke out the beer at 2 in the afternoon. The looks got a little dirtier when we started discussing work and the people around us realized that we represent their future medical care! Oh well, even doctors need to have fun ;)
I've been putting this off since I was so sorely disappointed, but I'm sure that those of you who care know by now that Jeffrey won PR. I have no doubt that he cheated in some way, even if they had no proof. I can't believe he was even allow to show his line. Poor Michael didn't stand a chance, but Uli and Laura definitely made more wearable clothes and I would have been satisfied with a win for either of them. Grrr.

That sounds like fun. 2pm is late on a weekend. As soon as it hits noon, you are totally ok to open the beer, no? On weekends or days off anyways. That story reminds me of when I was little and we went to the diner and there was a table full of people smoking and half of them were obese. Guess it was just lunch break for them because their "car" outside was an ambulance :)
I totally agree with you regarding Michael's collection! I didn't get to see the episode, but I saw his line online, bluck!
