10 Things I Have Learned From Working in the ER...


1) If you don't have time to go to the doctor during the day, it's ok... just go to the ER!

2) If you weren't sick coming in, you're probably sick going out.

3) If you don't like what the doctor has to say, you should just walk out and not tell anyone.

4) If the doctor says "this might hurt a little," you should brace yourself for severe pain.

5) If you "accidentally" hit a girl in the head with a pool ball and she happens to have a cue stick in her hand, you should run (unless you want 10 stitches in your head).

6) If a doctor tries to apply orthoglass directly to your skin, you should find another doctor.

7) If your sister has scabies and you sleep with her blanket, you probably have scabies too.

8) Only listen to people in long white coats.

9) If your baby AND you are both patients in the pediatric ER, you should probably not be having kids.

10) Alcohol and socket wrenches are a bad combination. (5 staples)
