On Call Halloween Night

I had probably the single busiest call night of my short internship last night. I went to the OR 3 times after 5 pm, managed a huge degloving leg laceration
in the ER, and had it out with a PACU nurse. The call pager went off more than 40 times between 5pm and 11pm (this does not count the Rapid Response pager and my personal pager).

And the beauty of it all is that I'm all call Friday and Sunday too. Q2 rocks.

Ouch...I always thought Halloween would be a busy night for the ED and OR. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall for the fight b/t you and the PACU nurse.
