Wish I could get Stroh's brandy. Not to mention cognac. Is 1910 cognac still good? How about 1927 wine?

(43,364 posts)because they have more complex sugars. American vodka or gin? I'm awake all night. But gimme a good Old World brandy? Heaven never slept so good.
Hope you're on the mend, and don't do the brandy until the pain pills are gone.

(7,584 posts)what do you do as an out-patient call person?

Aristus
(66,478 posts)Patients call after hours for medical advice. Its supposed to be for emergencies only. But people call for medication refills, and sometimes (cynically speaking ) if they have nothing better to do.
Theres very little we can do over the phone. And if it IS an emergency, we tell them to go to the emergency room.
My contract says I get $1,000 a year to pull call. Id give them the $1,000 back right now if I never had to pull call again. People abuse the system awfully.
I once got a call at 3am from a guy who didnt have an emergency, just some questions about COVID-19. I nearly threw my phone against the wall. They must think Im awake in some office somewhere instead of trying to get some sleep for the next day of clinic.
In short, out-patient call sucks.
