LL · 1 year agoDamn, did the Ditzy Ward Clerk go in and kick Mr. Johnson's ass afterwards?? Just the thought of all the weird disease tests I'd want done on me after something like that happening....

bob@thenest · 1 year agoWith stories like these we'll never get concealed carry approved in hospitals. Just too tempting to use it to cleanse the gene pool.< />< />I'd pay BIG bucks to get a recording of grandma and her friend the next day as friend recounts the events of the previous evening.

Big Bad Wolf · 1 year agoI think my highest blood alcohol was a .28, 2 hours after I'd stopped drinking and after I'd emptied my stomach. < />< />I woke up in the Portsmouth Naval Hospital ER next morning, sans clothes and in 4 point restraints because I tried to murder the orderly who was attempting to put in the catheter.< />< />I don't recall singing tho...< />< />My wife, who is an MA and will be going back to school to become an LPN has dreams of working in an ER. I'll be making her read 'Vignettes' as a precautioary tale. Got any more?

phlegmfatale · 1 year agoThis is one for the "favorites" file. I lurves me some Miss Marion, poor old gal. The fudgey finish was *ahem* memorable. I can picture it all, but I'm glad I'm hearing about it second-hand! Well done.

shooter · 1 year agoI'm going out singing "All My Ex's Live In Texas" and ZZ Top's entire catalog.< />< />I have to admit, AD, that this is the first time I have laughed myself to tears. Just woke my wife up with all that *gigglesnorting*

Anonymous · 1 year agoLoved the stories, AD. My 91-year-old grandmother got tanked at my brother's wedding and fell over. One too many manhattans (my damn uncle kept bringing her drinks, because she asked for 'em). 'Sparky' just passed away at age 98, fiesty till the end. God bless her soul.

TheRedHead Who Reads · 1 year agoROFL over this one ... however, I've heard nothing but Elvis singing "Suspicious Minds" in my head for two days straight!! (LOL) Personally, I think in that ER you all ought to be getting hazardous duty pay - don't know how you all do it. Too funny though - after working at hospitals for 25+ years, nothing and I mean nothing surprises me any more! :D

Ariadne · 1 year agoOh my. I am addicted to your blog - I'm an official AD-junkie. < />I'm going to try and get my classmates addicted too; you're a fantastic medic and I've learned a lot from reading your stuff. Plus, you're hilarious. Everyone needs a little hilarity in their lives.< />< />By the way, the Sunday shirt article made me shoot Moutain Dew out of my nose. Congratulations, that's never happened before!
