Today was a very funny football day. Although Katherine, a diehard Patriots fan, requested Daniel today, she was not able to be our nurse today, but oh boy that did not stop her and Daniel from going at each other. Actually she did stop in at one point for one machine beeping or something and Daniel joking was screaming at her, because he thought she was going to “do something funny” to mess with his meds. We had the door posted with NON-PATRIOT ZONE signs and warnings and such so it was GAME ON. There was a lot of trash talking up here in the 765. There was cheering and jeering and some door banging and lots and LOTS of smack talk, but in the end The Packers reigned superior and Katherine conceded graciously (sort of). That didn’t stop Daniel from razzing her for the remaining hours of her shift. The funniest was when we went on our walk after the game a new doctor (donning head to toe Green Bay gear) we haven’t ever met before came out of the doctor room and called after Daniel. He sanitized his hands and asked to shake Daniel’s hand and asked if they could get a picture together to show his wife. This made me laugh. He sure entertains his fans around this place.
Tomorrow should be interesting when Daniel’s buddy Bob (Psychologist) walks in with his head hung low and with a tail between his legs. Bob is from Boston and they have had an ongoing bet all season on this game. Bob will be wearing one said cheesehead all week courtesy of Daniel Hailpern. This will be one great photo opportunity for many people around Children’s Hospital. I can’t wait.
