It was the kind of day in which one of my patients chose to pee into the wastebasket. That was a lot of fun. The thing is some made it into the basket and some didn't...
It was busy through to about 7 pm and then triage cleared out and there were empty rooms and we got a breather for a little bit. Mr pee-in-the-basket man finally went up after waiting 3 hours for a room. He was actually able to put urine in a urinal before he left and I thought to myself: "he's trainable". And life was good.
Another typically crazy day in the ER, in which I questioned my own sanity at least 3 times during the day. Then life went on and I got to go home on time.

Could have been worse - it might have been one of the wastepaper bins made of the sort of metal mesh stuff - it'd all have been on the floor then.
I had a patient pee in the wastebasket that happened to be right beside his bed......He goes, it was either here or on the floor.....well fair enough. Actually I was glad he DID use the wastebasket because he'd already fallen 3 times since admission.
