The mother of a kid who drank too much and had to have his stomach pumped asked me to talk to him about alcoholism because I "look like someone who has had one too many drunken mistakes." Really, lady?

Today was Kurt's first day back at work after the whole Swine Flu that wasn't ordeal. Infection Control had demanded he stay off until his next set of bloodwork came back clear, even if he hadn't had a single symptom from the start. Sure, he gave Blaine mouth-to-mouth, but malaria wasn't catching by saliva, and it wasn't like Kurt blew his penis. Talk about overkill.

But now he was back in his element and after being in the OR all morning, he had a couple of potential patients on the wards to see and assess. The first was SPI patient, Arthur Abrams, in the HDU just a couple of doors down from Blaine. Kurt was the uttmost professional when it came to his job, though, and whilst some staff might be tempted to drop in on a friend for a quick hello before seeing to their patients, Kurt wasn't one of them.

Back in his comfort zone of his his pink scrubs with matching stethoscope draped around his neck, Kurt picked up Artie's files form the nurses' station and went over to his room. He knocked softly on the glass door and went inside. "Mr Abrams? I'm Kurt Hummel, the Surgical and Anesthesia Nurse Practitioner here. Which is basically a fancy way of saying I'm a paid multi-tasker, but long story short, I'm going to be your Anesthesiologist if it comes to the decision to operate on your spine. Unlike the movies, it's not as simple as just giving you a needle and putting you to sleep, so I just need to have a bit of a chat with you, if that's okay."
