I was on long call in the telemetry (cardiac) unit the other day. My worry the entire time was that a nurse would call me up and tell me someone was having chest pain. Of course it happened. This is subsequently what went through my head:
I'm going to throw up.
Don't throw up, that won't even help.
He's having a heart attack.
AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGH!
Nitroglycerin, no his blood pressure is too low, yes, no, yes???
What if it's just musculoskeletal.
I'm going to throw up again.
No, I think I am now having a heart attack too!
AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGH!
Must call the senior.
