Night shift

A wedding in the middle of the shift

The toikana from the street. My duty shoes are in the bag, the party shoes are on my feet.

My cousin's wedding was Saturday in a toikana with 400 people. I was on duty until 10 a.m., so I changed in the toilet of the hospital, put on the dress, ran to the marshrutka with my duty shoes in a bag. At the wedding everybody asked if I was a "real" doctor. At the table, a drunk uncle gave me his blood pressure in a loud voice. I measured it, on the napkin, with my finger and the watch. Not great. I told him to eat less salt and drink less vodka. He laughed and cried.
