This is too much!

I don't mind working my ass off in the ICU for weeks, but when I am forced into call on Saturday night when the Hogs are at home, after I have already worked 14 out of the last 15 days....it is too much! My dad and brother were both going to the game with me, and it was going to be awesome! Sure, we are just playing Troy, but I really dislike Troy. I typically have a ton of respect for strong mid - major schools, and I hate the BCS and think everyone should be on a more level field (playoff), but those Bastards from Troy, I don't care for. I think it is just because I have known some people from the town that I didn't care for. When I think of it, I don't remember ever meeting anyone from Alabama that I liked.

AAA

A 19 year old girl came to our ED today, complaining that she had a AAA (abdominal aortic aneurysm). She was smiling and laughing and said that she thinks it is ruptured. Her cousin, a nurse, had told her that she had a pulsating mass in her belly and that she needed checked out. She sent her with a list of tests that we should perform to diagnose the aneurysm. I was so glad. The girl certainly did not have an aneurysm, but I attempted to calmly reassure her. However she insisted and seemed terrified so I ordered a few of the desired tests. No aneurysm. Ridiculous.... She was kind of nice though, and I think her cousin the nurse had just really scared her.

Hogs Nearly pulll Major Upset

The season has already had its highs and lows for the hogs, but a superlative high nearly came yesterday with an upset of Florida. The hogs were thwarted at the last second by a field goal, to put the gators up 23-20. Oh well. Mallet played well anyway, and I am really starting to like this team.

Stop The Skid Hogs!

Ok, so we aren't looking too great in conference play. We had a tough couple of weeks, and our championship hopes look slim at best. Time to buckle down this week in Arlington and take care of business. We can still make a good bowl, and its time to get some wins under our belts!
