*yawn* I'm awake way too late again.

We're driving home tomorrow and there's going to be a snow storm in the mountains. :( Wish us luck that it doesn't take ten-bazillion hours to get home.

Your 4,000th post was on March 7th. I, unfortunately, was in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico and therefore unable to cue up songs on SDN.

I blame penguin.

I've cleared the weekend, minus studying on Sunday. So whenever, whatever is fine with me. We all (you, megboo, Durden, myself, and if she's not completely teasing us above, Ana) need to get together via chat or something and figure out "the plan". Although for right now, my "plan" is figuring out how to clean the house so that it's at least presentable for people who have never been here...

I just figured it'd be easier to skip the second night's BBQ dinner, student musical, and post-theater "party" rather than the formal dinner and symphony.

I was thinking about going to the formal Friday dinner but skipping the symphony afterward.

you......... are very demanding. :laugh:

I'll have to see when my monthly hospital meeting is. But typically I'm at my office Thurs until about 7pm, which is maybe 2 blocks from the hotel. So we'll see.

boooooooooooooo....... USMLE step 2 CS costs $1,005 to register for. :eek: :mad:

and thats only half of step 2, the other part (USMLE step 2 CK) costs over $400.

what. a. rip. since its required for our licensing they could charge anything they wanted and we'd have to pay, thats just messed up. im surprised they dont just charge $10k for the damn test, we'd have to pay it.

Hey A-man! Sucks about how expensive Step 2 is. :mad:

Glad you're loving peds surg! I didn't like it because they always kept the rooms so hot. :oops:

very true! the pts are so cute though beary, ie 4 year old girl grabbing her belly and saying "my tummy hurts". or babies smiling when you listen to their heart and lungs in the mornings during pre-rounds. such a nice break from the typical adult patient thats pissed off over why theyve been in the hospital for a week or why they are getting their blood drawn everyday, etc...

Wow, how do you do that??!! I always made the babies cry! :oops:

But you're right they are cute. I did my sub-I in peds onc and got pretty attached to many of my pts.

one of my patients is this 6 month old baby girl that ive been following for a week now. i was off this weekend so she hadnt seen me since friday. when i went to listen to her this morning she had such a big smile on her face when she saw me. i think she registered my face! :love:

Ha! I was reading NJBMD's blog some time back and she was saying Peds surg was one of her fav. rotations in her surg residency.

At any rate, yeah I agree that kids are soooooooo cute. Well until they get older that is. :smuggrin: :smuggrin:
