7.5 hours in the ER does this you:

ok so my friend had to go to Grand River Hospital today because she had an infection in her eye, and we werent quite sure what it was at the time, whether it was pink-eye, allergies, or just some bacterial infection from makeup, contacts, whatever. it got pretty serious, i mean she had to hold her eye open with her hands while watching SIN CITY cause she couldn't keep them open. ya, ew. So we decided to go get it checked out just incase it got worse, we dont want that during finals... None of the walk-in clinics were open especially since it is a saturday and lucky us, since it is Easter weekend, ofcourse the hospital is even more understaffed than it usually is. So lets say they had 1 doctor instead of the usual 2.

So during that time i was waiting (remember for seven hours and 30 minutres) i went like.. fat deen crazy. like at one point i think i started tearing up for no reason (lol) , later i got upset when talking on the phone and starting ranting about everything wrong in my life, then 5 minutes after that i got really really giddy and laughed hysterically at everything. yah, me= psycho lady - i think i should've admitted myself into the hospital. i swear, everytime i go to ER i get a little psychologically scarred- please dont think im a weirdo now. One man actually got really upset and started complaining to one of the workers about the wait and demanded to see the 'manager of the division'. i hate it when people do that, i mean you should expect the wait and its not like they can do anything about it. Nurses deal with alot of crap.

Anyway, while my friend was waiting in another waiting room, in there was this senior-aged manin a wheel chair that was also fed up of waiting. Get this: he wheeled up to the nurse and asked to use the phone so he could call the police (lol) The nurse questions him and he explains, "so i can ask him to arrest me" "why?" she asks. "so I can lie down, i just want to lie down." When my friend told me when we got home that night I laughed so hard..that i started tearing up from laughing so hard and like broke down on my two knees. I can't believe how funny some seniors are! Hysterical.

Anyway, watching the Leaf's game in the ER put everyone in better moods. And since we weren't allowed to be noisy in the emergency room, whenever we scored everyone would murmur a "yaaah baby" or a "woooo!" under their breaths. And everytime montreal or we would take a shot everyone would whisper "oooh!". Strangers gave each other high fives. Silent leafs game = no screaming or yelling = funniest thing ever. You read everyone's expression by their faces: anticipation, surprised, shocked!, overjoyed, proud, anger, excitement, etc. At the last 10 seconds all the fans on the television were on their feet chanting "GO LEAFS GO, GO LEAFS GO" and i reaally really wanted to join in. haha. At the end of the game some people clapped, trying to make as little noise as they could with a big smile on their faces- and everyone seemed to be one. Suddenly, silence was quickly overshadowed by a soft buzz of conversation amongst the room. People starting talking to each other, joking around, greeting each other, exchanging nods and innocent, yet pleasant smiles.

By the time we actually saw the doctor,(for a total of 4 minutes) the eye healed itself and was a lot better than at first. it ended up to be an infection from her contacts as the doctor presumed.

From today, i can say that i understand a little bit more why they call this place Leaf's Nation. sigh
