If the patient could only see what is behind the mask
It’s 2am. I just spent 20 minutes putting a lady’s leg back together. Well, the skin on her leg. It was a big, ugly, Z-shaped cut. Not a big deal, except I have to wipe my nose every 30 seconds because Jake shared his cold with me. Copious volumes of snot are flowing from my nostrils, and there’s nothing I can do about it. So what do you do when you are wearing sterile gloves, and your germ invested snot insists on dripping into the sterile field? You put a plug in it. Worked great for about 10 minutes, and then all snot broke loose. Finished up with a pool of snot wedged between my chin and the mask. Yum.
ER Snotfest. Put a plug in it!

I like how your ID card has Jake’s picture on it. Cute! Glad to see an ER post every now and then. Your bike posts make me feel slow. And bloated.
