Nature of the Beast

So I'm setting here listeing to Sirius radio on my charting computer. I only have three patients tonight. One vent, one bipap and one treatment. I don't want to use the "Q" word but I was really excited when I saw I had the code pager. Not that I want anything bad to happen to someone but if someone's heart is going to stop, can I scheudle it for 3am? That's my worst hour.

I hate when it's this slow. Unfortunatly the nature of respiratory care is that you will set on your ass until a 90 mile per hour, balls to the wall emergency. I really wish I could have a long discussion with myself five years. I don't know what I expected but it sure wasn't this. Not that I'm complaining. It's much better than delivering chicken wings.
