Georgia's down!

Busy day at the UT game. I had several heat exhaustion cases, and one kid was so plastered, he threw up pretty much everything he ate over the past week. He was rolling around on the ground and everything... how dignified. One lady just finished chemo and thought she could handle the game... she got so sick that she almost couldn't walk and she just barely made it into the clinic with me holding her up. She kept crying and apologizing to her family... totally broke my heart.

I will say that I have gotten to be very skilled at yelling at people and knocking them out of my way when I'm rushing to a call or helping a patient out of the stands. The aggressive authoritarian act is quite a stretch for me as my usual nature is to try too hard to be considerate of others. It's nice to just let that go and to have a valid reason for doing so.
