My unfortunate weekend

So this weekend I had the unfortunate pleasure of taking my fraternity brother to the ER in the middle of the night, so my friend Henry starts banging on my door, i am completely 100% asleep Henry says he thinks he is having a heart attack so i immediately threw on whatever i had closest to me and rushed him to the ER. when we get there its completely full (apparently it was half off ER visits that night) I sat him down and tried to relax him. I went to sign him in which was a problem because he is English and they weren't taking his ID while we were waiting for the doctor I felt like i was in New Orleans for Mardi Gras, i saw the strangest people i think I've ever seen in my life, I saw a crackhead hyperventilating in the corner, a girl with a huge tattoo across her face, a lady who was about to give birth and of course the registration lady who looked like she hated her life. It was around 2 in the morning when the nurse finally called my friend i was half asleep in the waiting room watching re-runs of cheers (a show i love but not at 2am on a school night). As the night goes on i can physically see the Secretary hate her job more and more as the night goes on, i think that crackhead passed out or died I couldn't really tell. Its about 5 in the morning when my friend finally gets out, I was out cold when he came and got me. After our little field trip from sleep I took him home and fell asleep the second I hit the bed, only to wake up what seemed like seconds later to the beautiful sound of my alarm clock.
