i live in a hospital....

Yup i live in a hospital,
not just work , or stay, or exist...but i wholly LIVE and breath a hospital..it is my home.
ways to find out if u do too.

1. your bag contains forms ,labels,and edta bulbs..
and u r more possesive about them than your wallet or cell..

2.u wake up in the morning to find three ways and iv catheters among your dirty clothes ..and the only thought in your mind is..atleast they r sterile..unlike ur blood stained apron.

3.u meet a person for the first time and notice there veins.

4.u postpone,prepone or cancel your dates according to ur emergencies.

5. u wake up in the morning in your bedroom and , wonder which ward sideroom this is..

6. even on a sunday ,u walk up two flights of steps to drink the coffee outside the surgery OT...because u r used to coffee made that way.

these r but a few ..for i have run out of time..
but i acutely feel i live in a hospital when i walk down it's corridors at 3 or 4 in the morning having slept for 2 hours in some side room during an emergency, and the corridors are filled with sleeping relatives of patients...and i think ,they r just tourists, guests in my home..
