Well...I survived my first month of my internship. 35 days of Internal Medicine taking care of everything from electrolyte imbalances to heart attacks to ruptured intestines to anxiety attacks. I did six shifts of inhouse (we actually have to physically be in the hospital - yeah it stinks) call and the best part...all my patients survived! At least when I left them they were alive and that's kind of the point. Now I am doing Emergency Medicine. In the next 35 days I have 16 twelve hour shifts...(do the math and that'a alot of days off - yeah that rocks) and the best part...no deaths yet!! And I do stress the yet aspect! The goal is to make sure that at the end of your shift, your patient(s) are still breathing and if they are, it's been a good day...because now they are someone else's problem :) Just kidding but shift work is kinda nice!
Anyways, this post is part to let you know what's new in my world and part to justify why I haven't written in a while. Everything is going well. We are adjusting to life in Motown (burbs really) and settling into a routine. Look for more soon!
