So most recently they have been updating the colors of the walls in our clinic. More festive and bright colors I can only guess to help ease the patients while they are been seen. Each hallway has a different color as does each room. The choices of colors are a bright burnt orange (almost Clemson orange if you ask me), teal, purple, and lime green.

Well, it just so happens our hallway is now the orange color. Works for me as I kind of like it. Then we have Rm 9 as orange, Rm 10 as purple, Rm 11 as lime green, and Rm 12 as the teal color.

So, bright and early with our first patient,this little 4-year-old is walking down the hall and he’s like hmm, then goes into his room and starts to eat his breakfast. I go in and ask him what do you think of the orange color and he’s like it is sort of bright and I don’t think I could sleep in here now. I’m like okay well lets check out the other rooms to see which one you do like and I take him to Rm 10 with the purple and he goes “purple, it’s alright” so I take him to Rm 11 with the lime green and he’s goes “Ooo fancy”. I ask him, so you like this color? He goes ya. Then I ask him if he wants to use that room instead of the orange and he goes ya and I tell him go get your food and tell your dad your moving rooms lol

After he gets all settled I go back in to see how things were because he had some minor surgery the week before and he then proceeds to say he got drunk and I’m like what? Then he says they gave him Valium and he was drunk. I nearly fell over laughing because he was dead serious. His father pulled out his phone and showed us the video he took as the child was being wheeled away in a little red wagon back to the OR for surgery.

I won’t even get into how another little 5-year-old and her little sister with kid safe scissors decided it was a good idea to cut their own hair and give themselves some bangs.

I tell ya, some days clinic is damn hilarious.
