on the overnight:

It's 1 in the morning. I walk into radiology, where the scrappy ER tech is wrestling with a ~75lb dog who is flailing on the table. He's holding an uncapped syringe and needle in his mouth.

Alacrity: "Hey, do you want me to take this uncapped syringe and needle out of your mouth?"

Tech: "Mrrrrmmmph!"

Alacrity: "Dude, this night is going to get way worse if you inadvertently sedate yourself."
