My First!!!

Finally I've decided to put my technologically challenged days behind me and start blogging.But the virginity of my web log was a major obstacle...pardon the mixed metaphors...my standard excuse for everything nowadays is a lack of sleep.Not that I'd have it any other way...I'm back home in the city of the living,Bombay(not Mumbai)after 4 1/2 years in a place which like Lord Voldemort shall not be named!
My job involves sticking tubes into various body cavities and drawing enough blood to start a blood bank if I so choose and generally do whatever slaves/grunts do!Though Scrubs and Grey's Anatomy made it look a lot cooler especially the latter with the bar across the street...not that'll ever be in the cards but it sure would be nice knowing that it might happen or that there were a few Mcdreamies or McSteamies or even a J.D. around!
And yes...Douglas Adams pretty much captured my life with "Don't Panic!" Don't panic if blood starts spurting all over the place,don't panic if you have to dodge body fluids from an irate patient,don't panic if your houseman is yelling at you while you're running a high temperature and especially don't panic if you miss this week's instalment of your favourite TV show,there's always a repeat telecast!
And if I feel like killing my patient because he wants a real doctor read a guy(because of course a girl can only be a nurse),I just have to count to 100 and remind myself that my job is to heal!Of course,that does also mean I know how to inflict the maximum pain but I've taken the Hippocratic oath and 4 1/2 years of theory tells me that certain mentally challenged people can't help being sexist pigs!The only good thing is I never have to worry about looking halfway human again...especially post-emergency!

Oh,who am I kidding?!The amount I bitch about work is directly proportional to the kick I get out of it...which of course makes me wonder if I have any latent sadistic tendecies...but what the heck!Love me,love my splats!

Liff AS I Know It!
