It's Tuesday! We survived Monday. I told Jess that I always know it's going to be a day when I reply to the good morning chat thread on Teams, and immediately I see one of the bosses begin typing to me in private chat. Yesterday even surpassed that, as before I signed on, I saw him typing, and by the time I signed on, I had a full message waiting with people to call.
Most were just offering an earlier appt, super easy. But there was one, where I needed to move a patient from one site to a less convenient site because of behavioral issues. I was told that I needed to come up with a reason for the switch, but not tell them it was due to past incidents.
I accomplished it handily and even got them a MRI same day so that we didn't have to do the dance again. And, I got them to thank me for inconveniencing them, so that we could get them the "best possible scans."
I also found 3 hours worth of cardiac MRI slots in our busiest site, got a pt in for a STAT cardiac CT and some mammograms. I've started giving my direct line out with the caveat that if I'm on the phone with another patient, I will call you right back. I don't know that I'm supposed to do that, but it beats having the pt call back on the main line and either have to listen to our hold music while someone tries to get us, or the other person takes care of it and forgets to notify me or the leadership, and then, I waste time puling them up, seeing that they're rescheduled and then closing the loop with leadership.
Then, it was off to cook the traditional iris meal. Corned beef, cabbage and potatoes. The cabbage I had was freakking enormous, so I only made 3/4 of it. Then, I did make colcannon, adding bits of the cabbage and some bacon and onions to the mashed potatoes and then haivng the cabbage as a side dish as well. Verdict, pretty tasty, though the corned beef was kind of tough. It definitely needed another hour or so in the oven to really tenderize. Still tasted good, though.
For me, the mashed potatoes dripping in butter were the highlight.
Today, we will probably do pork chops, with some brussel sprouts. No clue what I'm doing for the sprouts. Maybe more bacon. lol. Debating whether I cook the pork chops via bake or fry. Both sound lovely. If I fry, I'm going to have to slice them down a bit to schnitzel thickness, because the size they are now would take roughly forever to cook. They're over an inch thick. Or, I might do another slab of lasagna and give myself a break on cooking. Yeah, I might do that.
Today is going to be another busy day, which certainly makes the day pass quickly. I'm hoping for a little less craziness, but we shall see.
For now though, I'm going to go forth and get myself together. Everyone have an amazing day!
