It's raining randomness all over the place!
Monday, 12 June 2006 17:46Everything I believe about the whole Plan B controversy, only said way better. The entry made me think about my stepmother, oddly.
For those not in the know, my stepmother is a nurse. And one time I was asking her a bunch of random questions about her being a nurse - "what's the weirdest thing you've ever seen?" and the like. And she told me that one time she had some people who were Wiccan (IIRC) come in and their belief was that you should put a knife underneath the patient's bed to "cut through" the pain.
While I could tell she didn't approve or believe in it as anything but silliness, she shrugged and said that as a nurse, she had to let them. It was their right.
See? See how easy that was to do?
You shrug and you say, "well, it's their right". You don't have to believe what the patient believes, you just have to *do* your fricking job. Because health care jobs are so important that people should either be able to their personal beliefs aside for the good of the patient, or they should find another career.
God I totally love that cat so hard right now. That's, like, way more chutzpah than any one mammalian creature should be allowed to possess. You can read all about Kitty McSass. Link totally gakkinated from

And this is for
wisdomeagle and it's from the doodle meme. The other doodles can be found here

For those who can't read, the name tag says: Cheryl. For those who don't get the in-joke, have
wisdomeagle, explain it to you. It's quite cute and adorable of her!

Date: 13 Jun 2006 02:20 (UTC)I thought originally I might draw a Cheryl as played by Allison Janey, but then realized that Allison Janey is actually quite pretty and doesn't deserve to have her image butchered by someone who can't really draw all that well.
Still, Ari!approval is candy!

Thank you so much. :)

What's Ari working on in that sketch?
