On a pretty busy shift today I
-saw 25 patients
-had a STEMI
-did a femoral nerve block
-saw more COVID pts than in the last few weeks
-diagnosed cancer
-almost cardioverted afib, but the pt beat me to it
-irritated the nurse by ordering an enema

Left tired but loving my job

You know who was hypoxic? My sick COVID patients.

You know who wasn& #39;t hypoxic? Any of my other patients who were all wearing masks, including the elderly and the ones with chronic lung problems

(Well, not entirely true -- I had one patient with COPD that didn& #39;t have COVID who was pretty hypoxic. But she still wore a mask and it didn& #39;t change her level.of hypoxia!)
