Hospital Access

So, I spent a lot of last night/early this morning at the hospital.  No, I wasn’t the one who was sick.

As I interacted with the hospital staff and sat around in the waiting room, I decided something - the next time I go to the emergency room with someone, I am DEFINITELY wearing my uniform jacket from when I worked as an EMT on an ambulance.  It was a very, very strange feeling to walk into a hospital and be treated like someone who’s completely foreign to the environment and might just pull out a guy’s feeding tube or something.  Maybe if I wear something that makes them think I’m still an EMT, they’ll realize I probably won’t kill anyone and let me stick around longer….oy.
