Choppy internet

We have really had a lot of internet drop out tonight. I get it for a few minutes, then nothing.

 

Had a good conversation with some of the new team. They were curious about our 'more interesting' cases. We had a gentleman with a swollen eye about the size of a lemon. Not sure what the problem was-we referred him on. We had a man with an external fixator on his ankle. He broke his ankle, then surgeons repaired it and put hardware on it and through it to hold the bones in alignment while they healed. We cleaned the area and rebandaged it, then told him to come back this week for our ortho guys.

 

We have put several splints on as a temporary fix knowing these guys were coming. A lady drank bleach to kill herself. We have had SEVERAL extremely sick people. A very interesting week.

 

BTW, our baby was transferred on with some kind of congenital anomolly (sp) but probably NOT neonatal syphillis. The jury is still out on him. Prayers would be appropriate.

 

Quite a group of them went to Joe's tonight. Apparently a local hangout where folks go to have fun. Jim and I decided we were fuddy and duddy and stayed back, chatting with the new group. I reckon we had as much fun, since Joe's closes at 10, and they are all back now.

 

Rocky downloaded his camera to my computer tonight. Several of us have decided to download here as a central depository, thus potentially giving everyone access if I can post most of them to the blog when i get home. We'll see how that works out.

 

It is after 10 now, and since I got so little sleep last night, I am signing off. We have the day off tomorrow, and some of us are going to go sightseeing. I am not sure what all is planned, I guess I can find out tomorrow.
