Day 92: Let's Cardiovert

Today totally made up for yesterday's slowness. I don't think we stopped moving for 13 hours. 1900 rolled around and we were still trying to chart everything that had happened. I got to see a lot of interesting things, probably the most interesting was the cardioversion.
Now when you hear someone say "Let's Cardiovert," that is not some crazy new work out move or exercise fad. It's when you electrically shock someone in hopes of converting their's abnormal heart rhythm back into a normal pace....it doesn't always work, sometimes you have to just throw a whole bunch of medicine into their system before they'll respond...but it's still a pretty interesting procedure. It's also pretty intense, but I am so happy that this was my last 12 hour shift for the week...3 in a row can be tiring.

oh yeah, here's a picture of blake...she's wearing a hat
