Chaotic yet Fascinating

One amazing aspect about the ER is that the moment I step into the hospital, chaos is present; nurses and physicians are always on the go with innumerable patients to see. I have never mentored on a day where it is slow in the ER. Just last week I saw a corpse of a seventy-one year old male who committed suicide by hanging himself. One of his neighbors found him in his living room. The body was very gruesome. His eyes were literally popping out with a grotesque yellowish greenish color to it, and his lips and fingers were a deep shade of purple. Also, his body was very stiff. This image seemed surreal to me, and it reminded me of a zombie in a haunted house or something that is in scary movies--I never thought that an actual corpse would look like that, so it was very fascinating. It was a good introduction to my day in the ER, and it was the highlight of my week.
