Today was hectic!
I did my first postmortem care. I need to go to bed, so more on that tomorrow.
I know I need the money, but if they call me off tomorrow, I may just take them up on that offer. I left with a patient who I think may not make it through the night or at least through tomorrow. I think two postmortems in two days is probably too much!!
