What do you do when your son wants to live with you, and asks the other parent but the other parent snaps back with threats?

I’m genuinely afraid for my son.

Exhausted doesn’t quite cover it...

So I’ve traveled from Ohio to Chicago to a “hot zone” to help with COVID... I have been here a week. I’ll be here for a total of 8.

Why is it people give the longest fucking story possible when checking in?

[TheSmalls 🫶🏼 @LushyMedic]

I love when patients come in complaining about how awful they feel and once they get checked in, make a bee line to the vending machine. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[TheSmalls 🫶🏼 @LushyMedic]

@CupcakeSnarky @ThatEricAlper I’m 1” taller.... and apparently old as well. 😅

[TheSmalls 🫶🏼 @LushyMedic]

My attitude and how I answer you, are directly correlated to how you talk to/approach me. If you’re rude? I’m gonna be rude, but with a GOD DAMN SMILE. 🖕🏼🙃

[TheSmalls 🫶🏼 @LushyMedic]

It’s definitely a Monday, I’ve been here 3 hours and people are already testing my damn patience. 🤬

[TheSmalls 🫶🏼 @LushyMedic]

Who fucking thinks to themselves.. “it’s 0200, my finger hurts, IM GONNA GO TO THE ER”

I’ll tell you... the chick that just checked in. That’s who. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

@PatheticLoserAB “I did the laundry”

@tearfuljupiter 8 hours to a different state and it was ALL kinds of worth it.

[WheelERdoc @realEDdoc]

Things I’ve learned working in the ER:

Don’t drink & drive
Don’t smoke
Don’t get up to go to the bathroom at night after age 70
Don’t climb ladders
Wear your seatbelt
If you’re on blood thinners wear a helmet at all times.
Especially if you wake up & have to use the bathroom

[TheSmalls 🫶🏼 @LushyMedic]

I feel like I’m on the outside of everything looking in. Not apart of it. Not included. Just kind of here.

[TheSmalls 🫶🏼 @LushyMedic]
