Good end to a shift
Worked really hard Wed morning then by late afternoon it had cleared out which really makes me sleepy, I was in the core talking to one of the docs when I heard a nurse yelling. Anytime a nurse yells it means RUN something really bad is occurring, so I run. Front seat delivery of a baby girl! It really is funny we don't yell when a patient is shot or has a knife sticking out of their head but I don't know of one ER nurse that likes delivering babies. Fortunately I arrived after someone else caught the baby and just had to help the mom to a stretcher. I felt guilty about that so I detailed the fathers front seat of the car sopping up blood amniotic fluid and clots. I was very proud of that and told the staff I would be arriving late for all deliveries and would simply bat cleanup. Baby and mom are fine sleepiness GONE
