Clinical Madness

I did my ER clinicals yesterday for my EMT-Basic class. It was 12 very interesting hours. You meet all kinds there. There was the older man with gangrene (whew, what a smell) and the one heck of a trooper 6 year-old girl who busted her arm big time (she didn't cry at all and watched them draw blood and put in her IV). All in all, it was fun and educational. Unfortunately, it has left me with no weekend...and I'm doing my second 12-hour shift on Saturday.
