yes it is easy being green

Mind the empty bottle
with the holes along the bottom
You see it’s too much to ask for and
I’m not the doctor


Today I spent the day in the OR and I was given access to the internal you don't have to check them out you just grab them from a cart surgical scrub supply. When I left the hospital I kept waiting for alarms to go off and people to fall out of the sky with parachutes and tackle me and rip off my scrubs, but I actually made it home with my green scrubs on.

When my patient woke up in the recovery room, she made me tell her all the details of what they did to her. Then we spoke French to each other for an hour and she told me I was the daughter she never had. Made me forget about crappy shit for awhile.

Quote of the day: "Well no wonder I feel like I got hit by a fucking train." ---my patient, after I told her about the surgery. Ouch.

Other quote of the day: "Oh my god, you instantly look so much smarter." ---Katie, when she saw me in green scrubs.

Quote of the week: "Was it her husband who ran her over?" ---Jean...omg, I love her...

Oh mi god, I was just thinking about when Willie Nelson was on the Muppets. Did you see that one? They sang that rainbow song.

Okay thats all I have to say about that but you told me I had to comment on every entry.

I guess I can endorse the Willie Nelson autobiography, great book.
