ER run

I now know why I am NOT a nurse. I would love to help people and to be involved in peoples lives, but I believe I will chose a different way of approach. I will do a lot of different things to help and get involved, but I think I will stay away from the medical field as of now.
Dave ( the only guy here ) was helping Steve Klassen by moving a huge flower pot from the porch to the back of a truck during work duties and it slipped and a huge chunk of the side of the pot jammed into his left hand ( right in the meat of the thumb ). So me and Joanna ( a fellow TREKer ) got him in the van and took him to the Abbortsford Hospital. Holding his hand above his heart the whole trip we talked and laughted about how this just had to happen during a work duty time.
We made it to the ER and sat there for about a good 2 hours before Dave got called back. The doc was a kind gentleman and told Dave what was going to happen and to just bare the pain for less then a minute and it would be over. He cleaned the wound and gave him a shot to numb it and he started the stitches. He told Joanna and I that we could watch as long as we didnt pass out. Jo watched all of it while I sat on a chair and looked but only saw what was visible when the doctor moved to the side.
Dave ended up getting 10 stitches ( the cut was about an inch long ) and we headed out after about 3 hours of waiting and Dave being in pain. We had a good time together concidering the situation. We laughed and jokes and talked about our dreams, lives, and some great hospital experiences and stories.
So to wrap the day up... we had a very eventful and exciting day. Thank God for no other major injuries.
