15% off spongebob scrubs with promo code "spongebob_sale"I was told this all summer, but I still can't believe it's really true. All summer we had violent crime victims, mostly GSWs (gunshot wounds) several times a week, sometimes daily. And that was just what came into our ICU; I don't even know the rate for the whole hospital. (At my old hospital, I'm pretty sure if you were shot anywhere we all panicked and you went to the ICU, but at my new workplace, if you're shot in a nonvital manner, you get patched up and go to a regular trauma-medical floor.)
But all the experienced people said the trauma season really slows down in the winter. And it has! I can't get over that.

People are really out less shooting each other because of the cold. I mean, it kinda makes sense - most people can hardly oblige themselves to shovel their sidewalks. It takes me an hour to get the kids ready to go outside. I can hardly imagine trying to motivate your minion gangbangers to go perpetrate crimes in this weather. But honestly, you wouldn't think drug-addled hoodlums would care so much about it. Doesn't alcohol make you feel warmer?
Lest you think this wasn't written in the holiday spirit, it was: anyone braving the shopping malls at this time of the month should take heart that the hideous stress of last-minute Christmas shopping hasn't driven up our admissions - at least for violent crimes, that is. Make sure you don't slip on the ice and come in with a subdural hematoma.
Merry Christmas!
"Make sure you don't slip on the ice and come in with a subdural hematoma." ..and this is why I prefer online shopping for Christmas gifts!
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time I worked on the ortho surg floor of my local hospital. Winter was officially here when we got nothing but shattered ankles and broken hips for admissions. (shattered ankle season came right after drunk hunting and wood chopping injury season.)
Funny how that works huh? I remember vividly getting 'prepped' during the spring for the peak of 'trauma' season.
ReplyDeleteSad but true... sad but true...

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI run Scrubadoo.com, a new e-commerce site that sells pretty much anything a nurse needs to wear to work.
I am reaching out to bloggers with posts & readers that may be interested in a store like ours in the hopes to have some of them do reviews of our website.
We would be happy to provide you with a gift card at the site to use to shop with us, or we could also work something out where we would provide you a discount that you can pass on to your readers, or potentially even a code that we could track and any sales that you sent to us we would send a % back to you.
If you would like to do a review we would want you to be 100% honest and you would control everything that was written. We are NOT looking to write a post and just have you put it up on the blog.
I also want to give you a quick rundown on our company & what we are about Scrubadoo.com is a small company out of Minneapolis Minnesota, we were originally founded in Charlottesville Va. We started the company 2 years ago with the customer service at the core of everything we do. We felt that the other major websites out there were not offering adequate levels of service to their customers. Thus far we have had a great response! We have many testimonials and have even been interviewed on NPR about going above and beyond service expectations.
We think bloggers like you can really help us spread the word about our company and are confident you will love shopping with us. We would love to hear from you and look forward to your review!
