Those are worse days than the actual holiday, because NOBODY wants to be in the hospital on the holiday. Instead, they put off their ER visit until they next day, by which point their CHF/Pneumonia/cellulitis/Chest-Pain/Toothache/Back-pain is even WORSE. Most people only come to the hospital on Thanksgiving/Christmas day if they're literally dying. The weekend after is always worse. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I wish I could argue that logic, but 30 years of this tells me that you sir are correct.

If they give the slightest bit of lip or bullshit I get loud and turn into EMT Asshole, happens every holiday. It usually doest accomplish anything, but I feel better telling them how fucking retarded they are to their fucked up faces when they know I'm right, and I'm just a Basic.

There was almost nothing last night. One verbally combative pysch case that I got called to. I talked that one down and got the patient to listen to the staff.
