CK in the ER (Just Call Me Doctor)
Yeah! That's right. I'm truly excited now. I'm going to start my first medically related job ever, and guess what? I landed one in the ER in the largest hospital in Sioux Falls! Amazing. Being a volunteer employee 12 hours a week in the busiest, most critical part of the hospital will certainly give me valuable experience, as well as a chance to be part of and observing the adrenaline pumping life-and-death traumas that take place there. Seeing doctors and nurses in action, helping them out in any way I legally can, is going to be so fantastically fascinating I can hardly wait. I am prepared though, and I should be, for the many horrifying, blood-gushing, gut-wrenching situations that are bound to take place in a place like that (where else?), and I understand that this job will be very different physically and mentally from the front desk receptionist position I was first offered. Cool, though, and important, in that I get a pointer on my future ability and wish to tackle such situations. 
This Friday I went to the hospital to find out what jobs were available to me, and before my meeting I had a few minutes to spend. I went up on the top of the parking complex, and got a great view of the whole hospital campus. Then, about a 100 feet from where I was standing, on a different hospital roof, a medical helicopter started up its engines. Slowly and steadily it started to take off, and then flew right over where I was standing and off into the horizon. A great way to start your day at a hospital.
I know, and have always known (even though I like the drama anyways) that the tv-show ER is fictional in many ways, but I have always believed that reality can beat whatever clever tv-writers can make up. Avera McKennan hospital, here I come, and let's hope I like it.

Ah, det høres dødstøft ut! Beklager dypt og inderlig at jeg er verdens verste sopp til å sende mail. Når jeg får ut fingern (i den nærmeste fremtid) lover jeg å sende noen ord om hva som skjer i gamlelandet (Thea-land). I mellomtiden vil jeg bare vite at jeg ikke har glemt deg og at jeg savner deg masse og at jeg leser din informative vev-bok riktig så ofte. Happy times. Klemmer Thealea
