Monday Mayhem

Today was the first day the world around me had to go back to work and routine after a weekend of storms leaving behind ice and feet of snow.

Today was the first day this week at work my team was on call.

Today was mayhem. Today was a "good" day at work.

In trauma surgery a "good" day is a busy day. Those of us who work in trauma don't like idle times. We get a little antsy. Today, we had no time to be antsy or bored

Unfortunately, a busy day for us usually means inconvenience, pain, and confusion for others. This is a typical "winter" flow of patients for us...snow mobile accidents, ice related falls, car accidents. We saw it all today. This is what we have been waiting for all winter. Hopefully all will go well the rest of this week.

Maybe today is the start of my funk going away.
