My first day at work

After rocking my chemistry final this afternoon and securing an A for the class, I reported to the hospital for my first day of work. Nothing in particular to report, but here's some quick impressions:

- Patients with less teeth than expected

- Hot cops

- The quiet click of handcuffs

- Frantic, pained, and then relieved looks on faces

- The volatile smell of isopropyl alcohol

- Waiting for something to happen

Just so you know, it would be both unethical and illegal for me to relate specific stories of patients or staff. As a result, any tales I tell here will be somewhat vague and sufficiently obfuscated.
