Feeling The Burn

Yesterday I worked sixteen hours straight. No breaks, no lunch.

I have been averaging eleven-twelve hour days.

I am also on call by phone, so I am never really "away".

I like the new DNS. I really do.

Yet, when she no showed today I was not happy.

Thanks for letting me handle the aftermath of yesterday by myself.

No, really thanks.

Between covering all the stuff she has left to learn, the suicidal resident incident day after (the hospital sent her back to us after three Tylenol and two hours...), two new admits, plus my regular stuff I just have to say: Thanks a whole lot.
