Three days on call.

Five appendectomys later.

Why can't people rupture their damned appendix before midnight?

I'm going to bed now.

Nights and weekends are free, aren't they?; 9:41 AM

Just kidding, I actually went to urgent care and started the process at 7 pm, 2 am was when they finally gave me a CAT scan and found out she was gonna blow momentarily. In my defense, I had non-classic symptoms, so I was a difficult diagnosis.

I also was the only patient in the OR at that hour, so I got great service.; 11:12 PM
