Throw Back, Circa Early 2009
I got to the office first and I opened everything up. Computers, blinds, turned on the tv. Then I went to the exam rooms and started turning on the lights. I turned the first one on, and when I got to the second one I'm almost positive I was electrocuted. I was zapped so bad my hand hurt, and I was shocking everyone I touched throughout the day.
Later in the morning, while Francesca was there, there was a man who wanted Viagra. At first, I didn't hear him but Francesca was laughing about it. After the doctor saw him and he was paying his copay, he got irate and was demanding it because his wife is tired of 'not getting any.'
Later, while filing, I couldn't see the name on a chart so I bent down to look closer and slammed my head into the corner of the counter, and as I went to grab my head because it was throbbing, I managed to get a sick paper cut along my pinky. It was a gusher. I walked into the lab to get a bandaid, blood all over my hand, squinting in pain, and this lady asked me for a glass of water while she was standing next to the water cooler... and the cups. Seriously.
During confirmation calls, I called one patient who started yelling at me that they didn't want to come in for their appointment tomorrow... ok. Don't come in. YOU made the appointment, and you can cancel if you don't want to come. No reason to start screaming.
Lastly, some guys came in to show the doctor a new piece of equipment that did some kind of test, and the brought Santa Clause with them. It was good to see him out and about after the holidays.
