Might as well get it started now.
Christmas Eve.
1) 19 week fetus delivered 2 minutes outside our door. Intubated but with predictable outcome. Merry Christmas.
2) 25 year old man with malignant cancer on BiPAP, loosing blood pressure and no left lung left. Will likely live slightly past midnight. Merry Christmas.
3) 60s IDDM male, cardiac arrest w/ predictable outcome. Merry Christmas.
4) 80s woman hit by car. Survives long enough to have STEMI. Predictable outcome. Merry Christmas.
5) Oodles of "my clinic is too full... go to the ER". Merry Christmas.
For everyone who worked today and will work tomorrow, take heart in knowing your larger EM family knows what your going through.
Take care,
Jeff
