When You Gotta Go

Finding time to void can seem all but impossible during particularly busy shifts in the ER, and so in many ways I empathize with the Full-Bladdered Ultrasound Tech. When you gotta go, you gotta go.

That said, probably not while you're in the middle of ultrasounding a seriously ill, probably septic patient. And certainly not when you leave the patient in a room which, for no rational reason whatsoever, locks automatically from the inside.

Imagine the charge nurse's delight while listening to the FBUT start off with, "So about that sick patient you sent over..."

On a related note, turns out the guys from maintenance are capable of getting a door off its hinges with the speed of a NASCAR pit crew when given the proper motivation.
