Emergent interruptus
Middle of the night come to the ER at once emergencies get my adrenaline running. It’s a necessary rush: I need the jolt of epinephrine to wake me, get me on the road, keep me focused.
But when the ER calls me for a middle of the night get here right now emergency and I’m not the right doctor, all that adrenaline has nowhere to go.
This job would be a lot easier if people wouldn’t make mistakes like that. Took me two hours to get back to sleep.
