NaNoPoblano 2017 – Day 27 (November 27)
Go NaNoPoblano (National Blog Posting Month) (https://anitashree.com/2017/10/12/its-approaching-that-time-again !
Today I spent some time in emerg. Not for me, and everyone is ok, but you know – emerg. For you Americans out there, that’s the way Canadians say E.R.
Anyway, there are some funny signs in emerg. This first one asks if they have asked me for a urine sample. Somehow I don’t think this refers to those of us just hanging out, waiting for the person who actually needed to go to the hospital. Also, I apologize for the poor quality – it didn’t feel toward to get up and walk across the room to take a picture in an emergency room.
This second sign had me wondering if wearing a mask was a good idea if you were vomiting. Just saying.
And thus ends my tale of 3 hours in emerg.

Love that you thought to blog when in the er 🙂 What was wrong, is everything ok Emily? Blessings, Debbie
Everyone is fine. Dad was having some pain and turns out he has an infection, so he’s on antibiotics and at home resting now. All ok.
The mask would be preferable for the vomitee. That’s how we say “unfortunate bystander” in the U.S.
🙂
Oh no, I try not to think of vomiting with the mask on. Yuk! Glad to know that your dad is okay now. Emerg, I mean E.R. wasn’t fun. One time, I went; waited so long that my husband was upset with the doctor.
It’s never fun waiting, especially when you are the one needing the help!
Yes, well. I was taken cared of by a PA who was very knowledgeable. I was pleased and the wait was forgotten!
Glad all is ok
Thanks – me too!
I think a mask is useful at all times in a hospital. You never know what germs someone has that they may inadvertently pass on to you. However, you might look a bit rude wearing a mask all the time therefore I suggest disguising it as a Batman mask and people will laugh at you but will never suspect you are wearing a mask to avoid catching the flu or anything else going around! 🙂
I like the Batman mask idea! I was more concerned that someone would vomit while wearing the mask. I wouldn’t want to be that person!
Lol neither would I, that sounds like one of my worst nightmares having to experience my own vomit so up close and personal!
