graduating CA-3s gotta read this.
i'm on call tonight and then out of the hospital for good. don't know if it is as possible to be as badass as zip though.
Me too. Totally was going to bump this sometime today, but OB has been stroking my ass all day.
Here's my version:
"...Got to the house. Made coffee, reassured wife we're still on schedule. Went to the realtor to sign POA papers for pending house closing (I hope 'cause this market SUCKS!). Got a fresh haircut 'cause I don't like finding a new place the first week in a new town. Picked up the rental truck, paid a couple dudes $400 to load it, reassured the wife we're still on schedule. Loaded the kids in the wife's car, I'm driving the moving truck. Made sure all the utilities were transfered over with a forwarding address a week ago. Hell, even updated my address for my journals because I don't want to miss a month. Bert done left a trail of pending real estate deals in his wake! Roll the caravan on out at 1700 with floorboard boom box playin' "Today", and a map of all the Starbucks between me and my destination in case I need a bump. Thank goodness the truck isn't safe for my kid's car seats, so my wife is stuck with them in her VW. I'll be hearing about it tonight, though, when she retells all the crying and moaning and screaming that made her drive a living hell. I've got 5 more hrs tomorrow to my final destination, where I get to unload this 26' beast into our new rental with my father-in-law. Ole Cannonball Run didn't have a thing on us that night... Regards, ---Bert

Let's not forget the best THREAD ever: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=91904&highlight=brain
Our Hall-of-Famer Tenesma administered such an intellectual smackdown, that his counterpart entered SDN retirement. Ouch!
Absolute classic.

wow! Best of all time.
Cheers. Feels so good.wow! Best of all time.
The most memorable post in the history of SDN anesthesia!
Touché.
How 'bout the one that describes a typical anesthesiologist day...? You know... the one where the surgeon gets flipped off in the parking lot...?
That's also a good one.
An Anesthesiologist's typical Day through the Eyes of a Surgeon:
7:10- Roll out of bed, splash water on my face, head to work.
7:29- Arrive in time at the OR for my 7:30 cases. Determine each patient needs further lab work. I tell the surgeons we are delayed because patients were late arriving to hospital.
7:37- I'm hungry. Breakfast time.
8:42- I cut my breakfast short after 1 hour to make sure my 2 cases are now going. Stick my head in each room, patients asleep. From the door I hear beeping so I assume they both are alive, flash the thumbs up sign and leave.
8:44- Time to make rounds. I need to check on the RN.I.L.F.'s on 3W, 4E, 5C, and ICU.
10:06- "BEEP, BEEP, BEEP." FUQQ!! Rounds cut short due to pager going off, AGAIN! "Dammit, that's the third time this thing has gone off this month! What am I, the friggin hospitalist?"
10:11- Man, I'm hungry. It's been over an hour and a half since my last food break. I head to the doctor's lounge to grab a coke, some donuts, watch CNBC, and check emails.
11:03- Cut my donut break short to check on my cases. Both rooms are empty. I find out my next case is already in progress in a different room. Pulse Ox is beeping. Patient is alive. I flash the thumbs up from the door and leave.
11:06- Family members ask how the surgery is going. I tell them he is fine. They tell me it's a she. "Whatever. She's doing fine. Gotta run."
11:11- Surgeon wants to know if he can add on an emergency appendectomy. All 3 anesthesiologists already have 1 case in progress each that are being supervised, but we can do it first thing in the morning. Surgeon gets pissed. I tell him to tell the hospital to not be so cheap and give anesthesia more money.
11:13- I head off to finish my "floor rounds." (wink, wink)
11:46- Need to grab a quick lunch before I starve to death!
12:49- I cut lunch short after only an hour so that me and my colleagues can have our daily battle over who gets the short straw and has to stay. Once again we all walk out on the new guy.
12:52- Walking to doctor's parking lot. Feeling stressed. This is now the THIRD day in a row I've had to stay past 11:30am. Will bring this up at the next group meeting.
12:56- Driving away in my Bentley. Surgeon waves to me on his way to clinic. I flash him the finger.
Definitely a strange feeling to be done.
Graduate tonight. But will see everyone again as they are making us work Monday.
Maybe you should take a sick day
Just fantastic!Maybe you should take a sick day
