Snow again, way less than expected, but still snow. 50% staffing because of call-outs that they chose not to replace, had 100% of the patient load, more probably, 6 in the 8 hours, plus all the usual phone call stuff.

And people were WAY crazy. One guy I know really well came in crazier than we'd EVER seen him ... paranoid, OCD stuff, dropped a wrapped fork on the floor and started screaming because it was dirty and didn't want me to pick it up.

And I had something surprise me. After nearly 18 years nothing surprises me. NOTHING. Except this ... man brings his wife in, about 1/2 hour into him being there with her announces, "I can't do this. I can't take this anymore. This is destroying our kids. I'm filing for divorce tomorrow."

This was the first time the wife heard him say this, but she was so nuts she didn't even notice.
