From the parking lot of the closed public library, where I just finished entering Typhon patients from yesterday. There are just so many stories here. I don't have to try very hard. It's just a constant flow from one room to the next, walking out of one wild history into the next heartbreaking tale. It'd be impossible to make this stuff up.

29 yo F on the island for great grandmas birthday party decides to go on a Meth, alcohol, and prescription narcotic binge for 4 days. Disappears from family. Re-injures her already broken and casted foot sometime during the bender.

24 yo M in Seattle came down to parking garage to see his wife being attacked from behind. He runs up and punches the guy in the back of the head once, causing the assailant to run, but also his fifth metatarsal to break. Bad enough for surgery. I truly believed this story, although I may sound gullible. Maybe he just was drunk and punched a wall, felt silly and made up a hero story.

85 yo M Nausea/Vomiting........troponin = 97.54! Classic huge heart attack with no chest pain, no SOB, no nothing. Highest troponin that any of the docs had seen.

61 yo F Nausea/Vomiting after drinking 1 too many margaritas....develops headache and dizzyness whiles discharge instructions are being written. Head CT = Huge head bleed = Helicopter to Seattle.

No real theme last night other than it seemed like a good night to stay on ones toes.
