Tomorrow I will get my orientation for the VA hospital. Last month I signed up to be a volunteer, and it takes a bit to actually start. They have to do a background check and some other things before they will let you come in. My check passed with flying colors, because on paper, I'm awesome too.
I didn't get the recreation assignment which I listed as my first choice, nope, your boy Pedro is going to be in the ER. I can already see how its going to play out.
Me: LIVE, DAMN YOU LIVE!
Staff: Mr Awesomeo, that's a cpr doll.
Me: Oh....
Me: LIVE, DAMN YOU LIVE!
Staff: That's a houseplant.
Me: Well it was looking a little brown.
I don't have any actual medical duties, according to the guide book, I'll be filing, answering phones, delivering specimens to the lab, and maybe shuttling patients. Still, I am excited about it. It will give me a chance to help out, and who knows, maybe a blog or two. Plus, I get a totally cool vest to denote my volunteer status. I'm thinking of buying some scrubs, well at least the shirt, cause I think they look comfortable, plus I believe I'd look cook in them.
