My favorite patients are the people-who-don't-really-have-anything-wrong-with-them-but-are-generally-anxious-and-come-complaining-of-mundane-aches-thinking-it's-serious. No, really. See, in ER you're not supposed to take too many patients at once, and the worriers combine two interesting features:
- they are easy: for the most part you don't have to worry too much about them
- they take long: because despite the fact that you're 99% sure thar it's conversion the minute they start telling you of their aches and worries, you still have to make sure they dont in fact have something serious. And those tests take time. Plus, they tend to be very verbose  (just smile and nod and type)

This means that if you have a couple of worriers as patients you'll have your hands full with them for at least 2-3 hours yet for the most part they wont be very demanding. So you just listen patiently to them,and wait for the test results, thus getting for yourself  a "break" of sorts. Moreover, they're very grateful for the attention afterwards.

3-day weekends from now until the end of my internship.

dhokarena56, on untapped but potentially profitable business models:

"You know, there isn't a law that says that fourteen-year-old girls can't do part-time waiting of tables in a Hooter's uniform, except the uniform is made of leather and they're wearing cat ears and stilettoes."

It's been a long, hot summer afternoon.

.....are you in Japan? You're in Japan, aren't you.

Naw, America. We could scrap the cat ears. The problem is that being 14, although part-time work is legal, they can't serve booze.

[kaijyuu]

Keep the cat ears. And make sure they're these.

I would approve of this if the patrons where tracked after.

Now I'm imagining a restaurant named "Chris Hanson's Mmm-mmm Ribs".

What would you do with someone like me? Every time I wind up in the hospital, I always hear, "Well, we didn't know he was sick. He was just fine. He hasn't complained in a month. What do you mean he should be fucking dead with those sodium levels!?" I sleep for two days, absorb about 30-40 IVs of stuff, and then return to your daily scheduled MZ.

That, and no one can figure my arm out. I'm convinced that I have the GodHand hiding in my left arm.

[kaijyuu]

Change your name to Midas. Just because it would be awesome.

Well, my arm (from shoulder to fingertips) has been asleep since April of '08. I haven't lost any strength in the arm itself or my grip, I haven't lost muscle tone, I haven't lost fine motor control, and the arm hasn't fallen off yet...so I'm not terribly worried about it. It's just tingly. All the time.

[Lagslayer]

Sounds like sensory nerve damage. Damage yourself in a cave-in and get a new diagnosis.

That has to be the single most annoying thing to have wrong with you, I honestly can't stand that feeling when a part of your body falls asleep like that.

[Aklyon]

Has it glowed and then been punched with? Theres another thing for God Hand proving.

[MaximumZero]

All tests of nerves came back negative. 3 sets of ECG/EMG.

Now have that feeling run nonstop for four years.

Nope, no glowing, despite large quantities of punches thrown.
