whew

so...another post finally. see i dont have internet at my apartment so it is hard to update and when i do have access i never really think about it...my life has been crazy since i started rotaitons. i am doing about 12 hr days on average, sometimes less and sometimes more. i am all over the hosptial, admits, er, icu etc. i do everything the doctor does and i feel like i am learning a lot!! it is hard work but it is pretty great and i feel lucky to be with such a great doctor. i have a break this week though because my doc is at a conference. i am taking the time to catch up on some school readings, school papers and some research for some of my docs patients. i also bought a car! whoa i know...a 2010 subaru forester. crazy! other than that i have nothing to report.

interesting things i have seen in the hospital: drainage of a perianal abscess (sick!), sinus transverse totaltis, the swine flu..ohhhhhh, a super high serum calcium (18!) for no reason at all (this is one of the cases i am researching seeing what i can figure out), klienfelters, and lots of other things!

First week done of FM1! It was actually really great...although I worked on average 11 hour days, which is fine I just get really tired! I have been doing H and Ps, orders, discharges, progress notes and all kinds of other things. It is really busy, but I at least am getting way more comfortable just talking to people about their problems! I love this soo much more than school..haha
