1) couple months ago, 3 m/o male multiple extremity, rib, skull fx's tubed in the PICU. half-starved, **** suckle, and withdraws from all stimuli. got the fx's b/c mom "accidentally" bumped into a wall while holding him. uh huh. as if that weren't enough, mom is 19 y/o and dad is also the baby's grandfather. AWESOME. here's the clincher - the attorney for the family wants to know if it's possible the kid has osteogenesis imperfecta. right. ok. no f---ing way, moron, and my attending is about 2 sec from beating you with your own clipboard.

2) third child drowning this week and it's only tuesday. i f---ing hate summer, and i hate all those parents with pools and kids who can't swim.
