I could use some hot chocolate.

Sometimes I giggle when I post and my wife looks at me with suspicion in her eyes.
Boil water notice ended, woohoo!
Weird, no Ymm, water thread.
Reading the Vaccine thread and Aimo discussed a nurse who administered the flu shot to her and it was this nurse's first time sticking someone. Shaky the Nurse coming at you is scary. I worked NICU for years and would get called to the ER or ICU on the adult side for particularly difficult arterial blood gases. I once caught the needle on the patient's bed rail in the ER as I was approaching to stick. The syringe flipped out of my hand and hit the wall. In case anyone is wondering, this is not something that inspires confidence in the patient.
Would like to clarify, this was no nurse. This was a child in training. She did not look old enough to be a nurse or even an LPN, yet.
Your story reminds me of a study I was coordinating and we were trying to find phlebotomists to cover all the appointments. One of the Primary Investigators, an MD, offered his services. I cringed at the idea of his drawing blood, but we were desperate. I really felt bad for those patients.
Yes. I was once in a code where the doctor was doing compressions and I had to find a very polite way to say that it was probably better for everyone, especially the baby, if we did the actual work and the physician organized things. Luckily we were good friends. People think that ER and Grey's Anatomy are representative of medicine and it's much closer to Scrubs.
Ok, so, Arrow's orthopedic surgeon came in on Friday and thought he'd just go ahead and get the IV started to save the resident the trouble. Arrow's main medical anxiety is getting IVs put in. It did not go well, but it wasn't a complete disaster. Arrow was a trooper and doc gave up after one attempt. When he claimed that he used to put those things in all the time as a resident, I replied, "Of course you did, that's what residents are for!" The anesthesiology resident came in a few minutes later and got the needle in without Arrow even noticing (we did have several Emla patches on him at the time). It took her about 5 seconds.
Ok, you made me go to imdb to figure out who you were talking about. I prefer the Outlander actor with his shirt off, but the Baywatch/Neighbors guy ain't bad (he's just too young). I am not old enough to be the Outlander actor's mother . . .
My problem with Outlander though, << Spoiler Alert>> what really, is the reason to keep the show going once the two main characters reunite? And there are 3 1/2 more seasons after that, so far. It becomes too repetitive. A needs to rescue B or B needs to rescue A and I'm not interested so I've stopped watching. There are also cringe moments earlier than that where I'm like, modern character that has traveled through time, I get it, but if you're going to get along in the 18th century - learn something and maybe once in awhile mold yourself a tiny bit to the customs of the time. You cause a heckuva lot of unnecessary trouble.
