Feeling worse than your patients.

For the past few days I've been fighting a minor cold: a little cough, congestion, and general malaise. Nothing major, but it is enough to make me feel like crap. I take some tylenol cold and a couple of vitamin C and muscle through my shifts. The best part was today I was working on the non-acute side and would walk in to the patient's room and say, "HI, I"m Dr. __, What is your emergency today."

It actually gave me a little joy to stand in the ensuing moment of silence as the patient looked at me and realized I was sicker than they were.

I'll feel better soon and write more, in the meantime, enjoy the video...
