sleep deprivation
argggg. It's 1am and I'm wide awake... I've had 4 10-hour ER shifts in the past 5 days and I have 6 more in the next week. With crazy hours like 6pm-4am, I won't see the Husband for 4 days.
I really hate working in the ER... it's just cold after cold after cold... educating people that no, a fever won't kill your child. and yes, the fever will come back after the motrin wears off and it doesn't mean you need to rush your child to the emergency room at 3 in the morning. and that small patch of ringworm she's had for a week? that won't kill her either. sigh. so jaded.
