verbal diarrhea

There’s this little girl I visit in the peds ward from time to time because my boss is her GI doc and he occasionally invites students to tag along when he’s on clinic duty. Each visit leaves me in a slightly different mood, but the flavor of the day today was annoyance. I was annoyed with my boss as he spent all this time talking – blahbitty blah blah blah; meanwhile this kid’s been in the hospital 88 days, she’s had like a 3rd of her small bowel resected and she’s still not getting better! And nobody fucking knows why. I get that everything that can be done is already being done, but I just wish people would shut the fuck up in the meantime. Pardon the pun, but the verbal diarrhea just gets to me too much.
