Be Safe

July 4th is tomorrow and I am working. I will be finding beds and nursing staff for all the traumas we expect to receive this holiday. We're starting out already with a young trauma patient from a motor vehicle accident that is not expected to live. As much as I like having my shifts go by quickly, I can do without young people burning themselves, losing limbs, paralyzing themselves or dying while behaving as if they are invincible. Take it from me, no one is invincible. I am almost positive there will be people injured while riding ATV's, dirt bikes, motorcycles, driving cars, lighting fireworks, etc. Even worse will be those injured by drunks doing all of those things. Have a safe 4th of July.....
