11:19 pm on a Saturday night...

I am asleep, like many people.

My phone rings. It's the call center. Patch me through please.

It's a patient's family member. Who wants me to admit the patient to the hospital (and is calling from the ER's lobby) because she doesn't shower.

I'm trying to explain that not showering is not a valid reason for hospital admission. I'm pretty sure I'm not getting through.

Shift work sounds pretty nice right about now...

Insanity, and a lack of hygiene, abounds.
