Too tired for Happy Hour this week. I'm going to see what Will Shakespeare is up to, and we'll cook up something for this weekend.

That was the only mishap in an otherwise normal day in clinic.
1 day until the weekend...

I think it's an antelope or an okapi.

all day long.
Aristus
(72,514 posts)9. That's for sure.
I have some really stressful days sometimes. But I never find myself wishing to work somewhere else...

What's going on today?

(72,514 posts)19. I just did a surgical excision of a BB from a patient's scalp.
It had been in there for years. I could have left it, no problem. But he needs an MRI, and it's best not to have any metal in your head when you're getting one. So I excised it. Took a while; it was pretty well encapsulated. But I got it. Three sutures and some pain meds and he's good to go.
Hi, Riff!
