Bathroom musings

SOO I have been working all day to get this pt a paracentesis (removal of excess fluid, in this case from abdomen). The normal people here at the VA aren't available to do it. So literally this pt has been waiting her for six hours for this procedure that should have happened about four hours ago. Anyway after lunch I call someone else to get an update about what is happening. While waiting for a call back, I suddenly have to use the restroom.

So I put my cell phone in pocket and go the restroom.

While in the restroom I start thinking to myself, what would happen if the phone rang? Would I answer it while using the restroom? How weird is that? (ok, don't pretened this hasn't happened to you too! :)) and then I was thinking, what if someone else came in to the next stall. Probably that would make me too embarrassed to be on the phone. I am kind of grinning to myself at that image when the door open and I hear someone come in. She is talking in short bursts. She goes in to the stall next to me and keeps talking. There is no one else in the restroom. The funny thing is that my first thought was, why is she talking to herself? And then I realized she was on her cell phone!!! Haha.

What has the world come to? Even our restroom time is double tasked.

Happy National Cake Day!
