I peeked out into the hall to see that the line for the flu shot had grown to epic proportions. I continued to diligently see patients in the fast track department with ailments ranging from: Cold with Fever, Fever with Cough, Cough with Chills, Cold with Runny nose… etc. Excitement, thy name is fast track.
Then I went back to check on the line. Some lady was handing out pamphlets to fill out while waiting in line. I asked if I could have one so I could fill it out while I worked. She looked at me in my scrubs and said:
“You work in the ER?”
“Uh-huh” I responded,
“Come with me,” she said.
She then took me past about 30 other people to the front of the line where a nice lady asked me if I had asthma or was allergic to anything (no and no). Then I snorted down a vial of anti-H1N1-goo. Mmm, bacony.
Now I am an unstoppable force to be reckoned with. Live attenuated virus down my snout makes me immune, Boo-yah! Just to prove my immunity I licked the snot off of the next 10 kids I saw. Take THAT, immune system!
Considering the fact that I’m a provider in an ER, I figure I’ll likely see more flu than pretty much anyone else I can think of. So far, no side effects from the vaccine, I’ll keep you up to date, but I’m really not concerned.
In a fun side note, cutie-pants Samantha got her 6 month vaccines yesterday as well. I felt so bad. Mostly because right before she got the vaccine she was giggling and looking up at me with a huge smile on her face. Then *POW POW POW POW* four shots in the thighs. Poor thing. But shes back to her happy as a clam personality today, and she seems to still love daddy cause she’s giggling like crazy (normal for her). Not only that, but I can still bring home the bacon without bringing home the swine.

I’m upset, I don’t see the word poop anywhere in here.
@RockOfEadie - Poop. Holy crap (poop), I feel kinda bad that I made it through an entire entry (diarrhea) without even a single fecal reference. Somehow, I sorta feel like I have failed you.
p.s. Fart
p.p.s. Please see last entry and read it twice to make up for it.
Bacony lol.
I felt so bad when my nephew got his shots at that age. My sister couldn’t be in the room with him so I ended up helping to hold him down. He forgave me too.
@RockOfEadie - I guess you don’t get diarrhea with this flu, or you can bet it would’ve been there!
Your Sam reminds me of my Sam.
I know exactly how you feel.
I heard the police were looking for a snot licker around here. I’m turning you in for the reward.
Ha; loved this! Also, I love the John Wayne Gacy profile pic!!!
Whoa, you’re pretty funny! bacony. LOL
Our school system gave out the swine vaccine. Here’s to a successful effort to stay healthy!
@storyslut - Yeah. I didn’t hold her down for the shots, I was the hero to pick her up and “protect” her from all those ‘mean’ nurses.
@Irish_Russian - Nope, no diarrhea. Most of the cases of flu (that came back positive for flu, thus actually had it) complained mostly of fever, sore throat, and exhaustion. Just really really tired. Those seem to be the big 3 complaints for this years flu.
@dikdoktor - Mmm, Coryza (great medical word btw)
@lonelywanderer2 - Heh, thank you? That is me in the profile pic… I think I’m going as Slicy the Clown again this year for Halloween
@ItsWhatEyeKnow - I sure hope the vaccine helps, since I’m going to see about 239478239 cases of flu in the ER this winter.
Thanks for the new word. I’ll slip it into a sentence sometime and see if my baby-faced doctor understands it. I have huge doubts about this guy’s abilities.
LOL interesting, I love your posts, healthcare and biology and everything just is my cup of tea.
