chem homework, and two lab write ups this time around....
Though I do wonder what "downstairs" is code for....
Friday? Well, I'll wake up in the morning at 7 am. Get fresh, go downstairs. Get a bowl. Have cereal. Get down to the bus stop...I gotta catch the bus. Then I see my friends kicking in the front seat and sitting in the back seat! Which seat will I take?
I am going to get down. Everybody's looking foward to the weekend.
Partying. Partying. Fun. Fun. Fun. Fun.
Yesterday was Thursday, tomorrow is Saturday, and Sunday comes afterwards. I don't want this weekend to end!

I spent last Friday night quietly celebrating the official end of this hellish application cycle with dinner with my folks.
What are you doing, my fellow 'non-trad' aspiring physicians?
Congrats!
I volunteered to do fit testing this past Friday (for TB masks) at the hospital I volunteer at on Friday nights. Of course I am the last day and WELL WHADDYA KNOW a mob of nurses shows up 20 minutes before I am scheduled to finish.
That part wasn't so bad actually. What really got me steaming was how impatient the line was, so I finally said something. I'm a volunteer, I'm not getting paid for this, and a lack of planning on your part doesn't constitute an emergency on my part so back tf up.
Normally I'm pretty cool and know my place, but I gotta admit, the only thing that kept me from losing it as the nurses gave me atttttttttitude over my feeble attempt to try and maintain order in that testing room was that one day, I will be much higher on that totem pole.
Whoa. Now there's a great way to spend your Friday night. I've had to do that. Egads.
Yep, and everyone waits to the last minute. There should be an open bar for those not working at these things.
A few drinks and you're like, "Hey. It doesn't matter what you can smell. Fits nice. Looks good!"
Spent Friday night on call in the ICU after working all day in cardiology rotation. Sleep today, then on call in ICU again tonight.
Any Friday night in the unit is a good one!
Maubs, I gotta say I'm loving that avatar. Lookin fierce!

Let it not be said that I'm not affected by peer pressure. Plus, we can unite against the Archer avatars.
I'm going to listen to David Sedaris read from his new book tonight! YAY!
Depends on the hospital. There are ICUs where the medicine folks just do medicine, but anesthesia does all tubes, surgery does all lines, etc. There are ICUs were the intensivists do EVERYTHING (like the hospitals I work in). Some hospitals have "open" ICUs where regular hospitalists also manage their patients in the ICU. It's very hospital dependent.ShyRem, I've been listening to ICU rounds on the podcast and I find that intensivist work fascinates me. Are the hospitals still using anesthesiologists in the ICU, or are they hiring IM medicine people also, or are they looking for people who have done an intensivist-based fellowship?
Chem scored us two tickets to the swanky ASCI dinner on Friday night. Free fancy dinner for the win!I met Q and she hung out at my apartment. It was awesome. Go APSA meetings.
*ugh*. Now I have the post-call hangover. Friday = 24 hours up. Saturday = 6 hours sleep (just couldn't sleep more than that). Saturday night = 13 hours in the ICU, up all night. Today = try to stay awake 'cuz I'm on days during this week.
So basically in 3 days I've done two 24 hour awake shifts. Good thing I love medicine. I can see how folks get SOOOO burnt out doing this!
See what y'all have to look forward to?
are you in bham?? how was it? i really wanted to go, but ended up sitting through a tornado in tuscaloosa with my younger sisters...total win.
Just made an appointment to try on wedding dresses--woohoo!

Hanging out at home and trying to not cry as I get rid of over half my book collection. I'm getting ready to move for medical school.
I was sad, but I kept one book - my named organic reactions book.
I may have a few more I can send to you once you move.Hanging out at home and trying to not cry as I get rid of over half my book collection. I'm getting ready to move for medical school.

I'm busy packing. One of my friends who is a year behind me is going to come over for moral support, and one of the second years is going to come buy my window AC unit. My new apartment has central heat and air. Woohoo!
Just double. But I did pick up an extra MS during med school, so I'm now BA, MS, MS, MD, PhD. I'm thinking an MA in ethics should be next. Or maybe I'll get ordained as a rabbi.So, Q, when do you become Double (or is it triple) Dr. Q?
