As always, the e.r. was an exciting endeavor. Within the first few minutes, a woman began to wildly shout obscenities at her nurse, after which she was promptly restrained. So, she was shouting obscenities, but in a less mobile fashion. Normally, one only gets to see one lunatic per visit in the e.r., but last night was pretty special. The woman behind the curtain next to me was in for alcohol poisoning. The Dr. asked, "Ma'am, what'd you drink tonight?", to which she replied, "A lot." It was like a Tarantino film. It's further proof that movies tend to imitate life, not the other way around. So, after about six hours, the Dr. pulled back my little curtain and got down to business. This part's pretty amusing. He asked, "What's your underlying medical condition?", to which I replied, "Werdnig Hoffman." The next words out of his mouth, "Oh boy." As a Dr. it's quite rare to hear such a thing, particularly among adult physicians, so I guess I'd be surprised too. Now, I'm on a heavy duty antibiotic. Yay!
I feel better today though. I mostly just relaxed and played a little UT2K4. Honestly, whenever I just need to take my mind off things, there's nothing better than busting out a flak cannon and turning some bot inside out.
