I take it all back; it’s raining and I feel smug and well-prepared. Today is just a roller coaster of emotions, I guess.
The embarrassment of bringing the big umbrella because my phone told me 85% chance of rain this afternoon, and I’m the only one in the whole city carrying one.

Now that the weather is getting colder, remember to think about CO poisoning, especially for patients who may be heating their living spaces by leaving oven doors open or running generators. CO is odorless, colorless, and a killer. It can look a lot like the flu.

Thanksgiving is not my working holiday (I always work Christmas), and I’m deeply grateful to my colleagues who man the ship while I eat turkey and stuffing.

Update, I loved it so much that I bought my own mint purell to bring to work as a little treat.
Someone left energizing mint purell at the desk at work and what a treat! Between this and my Diet Coke in a can, I’m flying high.

Kodi’s #psychiatry fact of the day: be careful with over the counter “mood supplements.” Many are serotonergic and can cause serotonin syndrome, especially when mixed with other psych meds.

I want to bring this perfect creature to work and next time someone is having a hypertensive emergency or dissecting, I’ll just bring out the pup instead of nicardipine.
