26 and old

What a night! We went on diversion at around 1800 tonight and by the time I left (at 2300 on the dot!) we had two patients in the department. One was on his way out the door and the other on cocaine who had just threatened his neighbors (and neighbor's minivan) with a sword.

Oh yeah, and just so you all know. FOUR patients presented tonight within a hour of each other...All female, all with abd pain over their umbilicus, a "burning" in quality, with acute onset, all with nausea none with vomiting. Odd. Then later, four complains ear pain. What the heck is going on? Things are supposed to come in threes, not fours! Odd odd odd.

And by the way,

In 19 minutes it is officially my birthday. This year I turn 26. Everyone keeps saying "you're such a baby" and things like that but I'm feeling REALLY old this year. I think it's because I'm on the downward slide to 30. 25 is OK because you're only half-way there. Now I'm really on my way. Just feels different, you know? Usually birthdays just feel like another day for me, this one is feeling different. Don't like it.
