Memorial Day weekend, Independance day and Labor day always have the hospital FILLED with idjits who dont know how to drive or are there due to the aforementioned idjits.
Saturday: in the 12 hours i worked we had about 15 traumas called (meaning ambulances coming in with critically injured people)
12 of these 15 were motorcycles. All with the same story: They skidded out and ended up kitting a car. One guy was in a tank top so imagine the road rash he had after skidding yards and yards down the highway. Thankfully all but 1 were wearing a helmet and therefore had their lives saved. (HELMETS MAKE A DIFFERENCE I SWEAR!!!)
One girl ended up flying through a windshield. It wasnt too bad. She actually was driven in and sat in the ER waiting room for some time. Then the cops came in and handed the secretaries a PIECE OF SCALP (hair included!!). THIS GIRL HAD SCALPED HERSELF AND WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM (with a towel on her head). As soon as her injuries were realized, she was rushed up to the OR so that we could sew her back together.
Sunday: More idiots though not as many as saturday. 2 idiots come in HIGH on heroin and drunk. For some reason, the guy who has a history of randomly passing out was driving. Guess what? He passed out and these tards hit a tree. The driver was ok..the passenger. Well, lets just say the passenger HAD HIS NOSE RIPPED OFF. And I am not kidding. Oh, and his ear was hanging by a thread. That was fun trying to clean the glass out of his face and put him back together like a puzzle.
Moral of the story: STAY HOME if youve been drinking (and/or on drugs). Id say 75% of our patients were drinking or hit by someone who was drinking. Or call a cab.
That is all.
My feet hurt after that weekend.
