For The Record

Working in the ER provides a lot of reasons to vent, and introduces you to many, shall we say, interesting characters.

Yet complain as we all might, ask most people who work in the ED and I think they'll tell you they at least secretly love their job. Lately I've crossed paths with some pretty wonderful individuals, and it served as a perfect reminder that it really can be a privilege to take care of patients. It only takes a few encounters like these to make all the abuse worth it.
