But has it occurred to you that perhaps MOST of the people reading this and leaving comments actually DO know what it's like to go non-stop for many hours too long? Why is it that only Dr. Grumpy is the one with a pass on venting? Why do you think we read this? Some of us like knowing that others have it rough too. So, yeah, the internet is a tough place. So is life. Let us vent vicariously.<br /><br />As for the above comments, I applaud everyone's creativity. However, the cat food coupons on double coupon day is CLEARLY reality. I, too, have seen a similar incident and can verify its accuracy.Just Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03458178892654120526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-85400517858881252152010-04-12T12:16:17.646-04:002010-04-12T12:16:17.646-04:00I think if I were to be hit with a crowbar I would...I think if I were to be hit with a crowbar I would just faint.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-82227376471249988262010-04-12T10:27:35.265-04:002010-04-12T10:27:35.265-04:00Hey, as they say, it's a "feed the bulldo...Hey, as they say, it's a "feed the bulldog" consult for ya.

I just get the feeling that a large chunk of Doc Grumpy's readers aren't familiar with the concept of (1) the lucid interval during the night when reason and logic cease to exist, and (2) crappy attendings who like to pan-consult regardless of what time it is.<br /><br />I'm a resident, and in my limited experience I've seen enough of both to be able to guess that this is one or the other. I understand this is how Doc Grumpy likes to vent, and my initial reaction is to laugh, too, but the peanut gallery in the comments seems to consist of a few knowing smirks scattered in between jeers from people who haven't a bloody clue what is going on. Sure is a tough place with tough guys, these Internets.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06502435408050438818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-18647939624972018602010-04-11T22:04:28.512-04:002010-04-11T22:04:28.512-04:00Bless Dr. Intern's heart.

The shock of having someone take her purse with her treasure inside, was too much for her to bear, so she passed out in an effort to protect her mind from the horror. Look into it further, you will probably find it was double coupon day, which makes the tragedy all the more heinous.<br /><br />I'll be sending you my bill.GB, RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09735213378851473207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-76697760928922442052010-04-11T17:35:58.315-04:002010-04-11T17:35:58.315-04:00I'd consult the literature on this one...I'd consult the literature on this one...Rosienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-80394252830982970012010-04-11T17:09:03.564-04:002010-04-11T17:09:03.564-04:00It might have been the chloral hydrate that the in...It might have been the chloral hydrate that the internist treated her with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-90989495334081542302010-04-11T16:20:13.801-04:002010-04-11T16:20:13.801-04:00Her cell phone was set on "stun."Her cell phone was set on "stun."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-32930206268959432742010-04-11T15:53:58.099-04:002010-04-11T15:53:58.099-04:00I've no idea.
