Bilateral clavicle fractures, rib fractures, skull fracture with a subdural hematoma, a femur fracture, L4-L5 fracture, and retinal hemorrhages to top it off. All on a three month old. Sometimes I feel ready to give up on the human race.

The common theme in each of those articles is brain/retina damage without other signs of abuse.

Bilateral clavicle and rib fractures along with long bone fractures in a three month old are huge signs of abuse.

That's what I was thinking, but it's just so hard to imagine that anyone could do that. I guess a bit of denial.

Paper due tomorrow. Really don't want to do it. Just a few more pages. I hate 90 degree weather.

 

[PotatoMedic]

And paper done! Not my best work.

Back from a mini vacation from St. Louis.

Cardiac arrest in a nasty mobile home, polypharm overdose RSI, traffic accident, and multiple pretty legit transfers out of our local ED.

I'm only halfway done with this shift...I want to go back now please.

I'm addicted to chocolate covered coffee beans. It's become a problem.

EVOC for three days, at least I'll be getting paid to do it! Then I start my field training with new company very soon! Super excited (well at least for the field not EVOC).
