Best Part of the Day-
I ate twice doing my hospital shift.  Unprecedented.

Worst Part of the Day-
I made a poor call at work by not putting a patient on a heart monitor when she went down to cat scan....aahhhhh.  I had a gut feeling that this lady had more to her story than just the gash on her forehead and I didn't follow my gut!  (I was too rushed to follow the gut...)  Basically her heart stopped while she was in cat scan.  Dear god.  It was a cluster to have a code blue in that room.  The long and short of it is, this patient did live and is "fine", but her friggin heart stopped on my watch--without any cardiac monitoring!!!  I will not make that mistake again.
