I've had things to write about but why I choose to do so many things as a resident is beyond me. I started my Emergency Medicine rotation over the past two weeks, much to my personal dismay. Emergency medicine is one of those specialties people idealize outside of medicine, sort of like they do surgery....

I had goals this week. As I said last time, I got some tough feedback, some of which made no sense but some of which was warranted. And I wanted to fix some of those issues this week, specifically my presenting. I know what the general idea must be; you're more than six months into...

I really got off the rails posting when NICU started, which I expected to happen but I really wasn't able to jump back in. It was 3 months of BS scheduling wise, so I will have separate thing about it because that was an Experience. Anyways, there are for sure better ways to start a...

The First Half Ending in the New Year

Being an intern is weird. I know it’s what so many people are reaching for and what so many have already accomplished. That doesn’t make it any less a time of constant transition while trying to mesh with other lost sheep who you hope to form a scrubs-style bond to. And it’s time to show...

Questions to ask on Residency Interviews

HARK. Interview season is upon us! And my old littles gave me the great idea to come up with a big ol’ list of questions the interviewing 4th year can use to find the answers they need about certain program OR give ideas that a 4th year may not have thought of at all. I...

Elective life is a good one. I've really been liking neurology for one week I've been on it, it's been a very interesting thing to be a part of. I will say, coming right off the floor I knew a good chunk of the patients we had before the rotation even started. I like starting...

NIGHT FLOAT IS OVER! I slept for 13 hours on Friday, if that answers any secondary questions. Is there anyone who feels like the floor isn't a beast? Enjoying it, totally great. But even if you love the floor can anyone say its not so hard? Because it is. The floor is the culmination of...

The experiences I had on nights were very different than the one I am having at my program. Most of been pretty low key. This one I did my first LP and got yelled at by a mom asking when can her daughter be an emergency. So both better and worse. They way our nights...

Nursery is finally done! The last week was insane! End on bang with a full census and just crazy things happening left and right. In from NICU out from NICU, sugar babies, coombs, bilis, light and all that jazz. It was really a culmination of everything we'd experienced over the last three weeks with a...

Sorry it's a late post but working 11 to 14 hours days is making me very sleep happy. Understandably. As my first week on nursery, me and my cointern got absolutely slammed. As in the nursery was close to full almost all week which is a big deal when you aren't well versed in all...
