I am Everyman
Apr. 8th, 2011 10:01 pmI had a strange conversation Thursday.
We were talking about which hospital one should ask to be taken to if one is in an ambulance (or directing the ambulance with a family member.)
I've lived here for 15 years. And "everyone" knows that you don't want to be taken to the county hospital. It's not called that either, but whenever there's news about hospital failure it's always that one. They apparently do a decent job with actual trauma victims, but if you're not bleeding, you'd be SOL going there.
But someone at the gym after class was talking about this, she's apparently new to the area. That was when I realized that I have absorbed this knowledge without consciously realizing it.
I have become "everyone".
We talked about how if you have to go to the ER, that it's MUCH better to go Friday than Saturday. The public bathrooms at the hospital do not have soap or toilet paper on weekends because they don't bother with that kind of staff. And it's better to avoid Friday if possible because if they need to do some sort of test, they usually can't run them until Monday. Plus the cafeteria does not offer non-fish proteins on Fridays. Remember, this is the better hospital.
Yeah.
