I was watching an episode of Bones last night, trying to relax a little before my 7pm - midnight ED shift, and cracked up laughing when a psychiatrist rushed to administer IM tranquiliser to a psychotic patient -- and did so into the antecubital fossa, and then, chucked the empty syringe away. No, I don't mean that he threw it into a sharps disposal unit or even into a box or tray of some sort; he just literally threw it across the floor to who knows where/what he was aiming for? Awesome. You'd think they'd have a consultant of some sort for these types of episodes but, then again, look at even medical dramas like Greys.
On another note, half marathon coming up on Saturday which I'm really excited for. I think my "training" peaked a couple weeks ago -- with the sudden descent of horrible weather here, rain and freezing cold temps, I've been having such a difficult time getting myself to go for a run at all let alone hefty ones in pre-race lead up. Which, in some ways is a little worrisome, but in another light, might be a good thing. When I signed up to do this with my friend at the end of last year I told myself I wasn't going to let it become a stressor in my life -- I would do what I can and enjoy it! Running is leisure at the end of the day. So, pish-posh, what'll be will be. I had a dream about the half marathon last night which must mean my subconscious is registering it on some level! I'm actually getting really excited because (a.) it's gonna be so much fun, and a lovely wee holiday up north; and (b) I can't wait till it's over and I can stop factoring in "training" -- it's gotten so cold, I think I might have to find something to replace the running over the winter as I really can't see how I'd battle this cold!
Exciting times, exciting times! Watch this space. :)
