Cute doctor

I forgot to mention cute Dr Jonathan. He's a very friendly first year. He stopped by to see Riley. Riley had asked the day before if he could see his own x-rays of the pick line after it was put in. Jonathan made the time just special to bring up Rileys charts on the computer. There was an x-ray from the first night in the ER when they were lookng to make sure there was no fluid in the lungs. Then he pulled up the x ray taken after the pick was inserted.

The pick runs from the upper arm accross the chest and down to the used blood side of the heart. It is two lines in one, so they can draw blood while still keeping a drip going. We could see it like a string running through the picture. I had no idea the heart was so low and in the middle. Riley said he knew because his wellness teacher had an internal organ skeliton at school she had been showing the students. It makes sence when you think that when people are trained to do CPR it is in the middle not off to one side.

Jonathon also pointed out Riley's stomach with air in it. He spoke about the bones that grow marrow, the tibia, the furmer, the pelvice and the back bone and spine. It was just a drop in visit to inform a curious boy. I was talking to another doctor who told me shifts can be 30 hours long and a doctor may get time to sleep briefly but not always. Tom told me OCEA makes mill workers leave after 16 hours max and they can't come back for 6 hours after that or something like that. Tom tells me I am eighty percent right when I repeat something he tells me.

I sure would want a doctor at the beginning of his shift working on me, not the end.
