so I took a visit to the ER after work yesterday. here’s how it went down:

19:00 - checked in.
20:30 - a cute nurse introduced herself to me (hanna) and said she’d be taking care of me. unfortunately this would be the first and last time I see her.
21:00 - was put in a wheelchair (my first time in one) to take some x-rays.
22:30 - a dr (dr rothberg) checked my foot, then the x-rays.
22:35 - it’s official: I have what’s called a jones fracture.
23:00 - another dr (dr glassner) begins plastering up my foot
23:10 - it is confirmed that he indeed watches scrubs.
23:30 - given crutches.
23:45 - taken to x-ray room for additional x-rays. turns out the shift changes at 24:00 and so I have to wait until the next crew comes in.
24:10 - additional x-rays are taken. the attendant at the x-rays counter recognizes me and calls me “bro.”
24:20 - have lesley come collect me at the hospital. realize I hadn’t had dinner.

all in all — a long fucking day at the hospital. and now I have crutches, which suck.
