MY local news is now bemoaning that hospitals are in dire financial straits because they have so many empty beds, no one is baying their bills.  The want either sick people (but it's against the law) or compensation.  You can't win for losing!

This is an absolutely surreal time in history.

I've been called off the last 4 shifts due to low census at my hospital. I'm certain that the next couple weeks will make that a distant memory, but it's strange to be on the very cusp of a plague.

You take care of yourself, amigo.

Don't make me come down there and put a boot up your ass if you get sick.

I'm bringing TBO with me.

Don't tempt us.

:cheers:

 

Just remember that this doesn't warrant the presence of Rabbi Cat.  He's your Ace in the hole!

If Rabbi Cat has to get involved, bart of tad will wish he was deathly ill.

We'll just have TBO Tase him into immobility so that Rabbi Cat can nap on him.

I don't intend to get away from this unscathed. My next two shifts are in the ER in The Villages (I'll leave y'all to google what you will about the noncompliant golf and STD capitol of the state).

 

Gonna do the best I can, with the tools I've been given. Especially if y'all are threatening cats and tasers.

I'd buy you a drink if i could.  You sir, are about to ruck up on this.

Stay safe. 

When the world starts spinning again, if we are both still in such a position, I wouldn't be opposed to this!

Not just a cat, Rabbi Cat.

Nor just Tasers, but Tasers deployed by TBO.

Chuck Norris checks under his bed for Rabbi Cat at night and fears that TBO is lurking in his closet.

 

Thank you and your colleagues for doing the job, amigo.

Why I got the feeling the cat AND the taser respond well to "SIC BALLS!!!"?

 

Dude, I didn't ask for this- my plan was to do a couple years in the ER, then "retire" to the summer clinic gig in Yellowstone, wintering in either FL or AK, whichever paid better. This plague is highly inconvenient, as the understatement of the century. Probably be more victim than hero in all this, man.

TBO always licks the darts,  before he shoot you.

Don't tase me bro!

 

Yeah, Huaco, the empty ER parking lots are... bizarre. Seems like people are staying away from such a "dirty" place, which just goes to show how many BS ER visits there are on a daily basis.

Corporate sent me a new Paperz for Alabama, next week.

I did an "all" reply:

(i think i learned it on this site),:

"They call us "essential" because calling us "expendable" would make people think too hard."

 

A lot of people got pretty mad.

I'm still not out of the woods.

How about no income tax for two years. That way the tax payers are not on the hook for anything.

But, but

the whole world would collapse. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria
