Thank fuck, the winter rush is over

The winter rush seems to be dwindling.

Not that I don’t want to work.

Not that I want patients to suffer.

But the winter rush seems to hang on and on and on.

Our hospital is full to bursting.

Our ED may as well have revolving doors.

The flu is in full  bloom here.

But the thirty case days seem to be ebbing.

And like a calvary that got lost, there are to be two travelers for the department. The first showed up this week. I hope she can relieve some of the pressure on the staff.

You know, when the winter rush comes, well, rushing back.

Because right now is only an intermission. A remission of sorts.

The crazies will bounce back.
