Let me help you understand.
The Doctor was worn out because for the last 18 hours he was listening to one after another cranky patients complain about their hangnail or their headache or their sore throat or the scratch on their arm. Yeah, I'm sure there was the occasional real need but much of the Village ER traffic is old people who aren't happy unless they are miserable.
Once you got past that, the knuckleheads are gone and you are left with folks that needed to be admitted with real problems.
It's a damn shame what the health care workers and volunteers put up with to try and appease the entitled.
