Dear UWMC ER Tech

You’ll never read this, but I feel compelled to write it anyway.

See, this morning, you were the tech who took care of me when I ended up in your ER after a fire alarm at Target triggered a seizure.

You came in to take my blood pressure.  I was postictal and miserable and humiliated that I had a seizure in public and pissed as hell that the people at Target called 911 and that I’d have to waste a chunk of my day in the ER when there was fuck all reason for me to be there once the seizure was over.  Basically, I was hating life and everything it stood for.  And then you looked at me and said “Uh-oh, we better put you in isolation.”

And I was all “wtf?”

And you said “Don’t want you turning the other patients.”  And then you grinned and gestured at my chest.

And I realized you were referring to my t-shirt.  My Black Lantern Corps t-shirt.

And just like that, my day was made.

Thank you.
