Daycare calls me. That's never good.
For them.
Daycare: "your son hurt his elbow and won't move his arm. Can you come take him to a doctor's office?"
Me (ex Special Forces Medic): "A real doctor is on the way to you now. I am 6 mikes out. Alert me of status changes."
I arrive at daycare. I locate the patient. 21 month old male. Scene is not safe. I drag the patient to cover and concealment behind a seesaw, away from the other small terrorists in the AO.
I begin my assessment. Blood sweep negative for massive hemorrhage. Mental status: conscious and verbal but confused (answers "dada" when asked for blood type). One breath every 2 seconds. Bilateral rise and fall of the chest. Strong carotid pulse, strong bilat radial pulse.
Teeth and tongue intact no blood no mucus no dip or foreign objects. Eyes PERRLA, negative JVD/trach deviation, C-spine intact upon palpation.
Heart sounds strong upon auscultation. Percussion negative for hemo-T. Abdominal quads normal upon palpation. Pelvis negative for book sign.
Arms and legs negative for crepitus. However, Patient indicates discomfort in right arm upon palpation and supination/flexion of the elbow.
Nursemaid's elbow.
I begin interventions. Supination/flexion technique complete at 1215. Palpable clunk on successful reduction. I write the time on his chest in Sharpie. I tape a popsicle to his hand and tell the patient to suck but do not bite/chew. I write "1 x popsicle (10g sugar)" on his chest in Sharpie.
I reassess the patient after performing interventions then package the patient for handoff to daycare/higher level of care. I yell at daycare over the Blackhawk in my head: "21 month old male!!! Nursemaids elbow!!! Treated with supination/flexion technique at 1215!!! Patient has 1 x popsicle onboard!!"
Daycare: "sir please leave."
Me: "you should have called my wife."
WATCH: Texas Rangers players brought their kids onto the field during the national anthem, highlighting the blessing of fatherhood
Kids aren’t burdens, they’re the future.
Jeff Bridges pulled up to John Goodman’s Walk of Fame ceremony in the actual Dude sweater.
Goodman’s reaction is pure joy. Cinema history hugging it out.
We see the tower of Jesus Christ illuminated for the first time!
The light show, starting from the base up to the illumination of the cross, culminated with a composition of lights guided by drones that traced the figure of Gaudí and the phrase “first love, then technique”.
Je gère une salle de sport ouverte 24 heures sur 24. Chaque matin, à 5 h 30, un lycéen passait son badge à l’entrée. Il ne touchait jamais à un seul haltère ni à un tapis de course. Il allait directement aux vestiaires, prenait une longue douche, enfilait un uniforme scolaire soigneusement plié, puis repartait.
Mercredi dernier, le lecteur a affiché un voyant rouge lorsqu’il a présenté son badge. Son abonnement avait été résilié pour défaut de paiement ; son compte accusait un retard de 40 dollars.
Il a regardé la lumière rouge, le visage soudain envahi par la panique. Il sentait comme quelqu’un qui avait passé la nuit dans une voiture surchauffée.
— Je suis désolé, a-t-il murmuré en se retournant pour repartir dans le froid du matin.
Je me suis penché au-dessus du comptoir et lui ai posé la main sur l’épaule.
— Cette machine fait encore des siennes, ai-je déclaré assez fort pour qu’il m’entende.
Je me suis connecté au terminal administratif, ai modifié son statut en « Employé d’entretien », ce qui contournait complètement le système de facturation, puis j’ai imprimé un nouveau badge.
— Celui-ci n’expirera jamais, lui ai-je dit en le lui tendant. Maintenant, va te préparer. Tu ne voudrais pas être en retard pour ton premier cours.

Scottie on Trump: "l get a call or a text from him sometimes after wins… Whether you're the person serving us lunch, or the caddie on the golf course, or the president of the club, he treats everybody like they're the greatest person in the world."
John Daly hit it close on 17 and picked a little fella out of the crowd. He calmly walked up and dropped the putt. May be the best thing you see today. #RegionsTradition

The Miracle on Ice 1980 team just gifted Trump a customized 1776 Resistol cowboy hat. It’s a direct replica of the iconic white hats the U.S. squad famously wore during the Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Lake Placid. He threw it right on.🇺🇸
It's absolutely incredible that they managed to bring this space beast back like a motorless glider.
We hurled a machine into the infinite, freezing void, then forced it to surf a 3,000-degree wave of plasma back to Earth.
