I Can't Do This All On My Own

I know that I'm no... superman.

I love Scrubs. I always get asked if med school/medicine is really like scrubs. In a way it is. In a way it's not. The drama and inbreeding occur. But always having something witty and coming up with a diagnosis in 30 min doesn't necessarily happen. Although I think deep down us fans strive to make every day a bit more like Scrubs.

I officially have 5 more days of surgery left. Then a test. I am so unbelievably pumped no one has any clue!!! I move on to family medicine and I'm so excited. Today I had my first clinical skills assessments. Apparently I'm not too shabby at a history and physical, but thanks to surgery I don't document ANYTHING. Pretty much meaning it didn't happen. Ugh. I'm sure Fam Med and Medicine will remedy that very quickly. I just had no idea to write down in her HPI her sexual history, or whether she was using contraception, or what her pain was like. ARRG! that's points people! I'm almost worried I failed the damn thing due to documentation.

I also realized that the path interest group will be getting to a very very slow start this year. I'll be gone for some of september and a week or so in october. So our earliest meeting will be mid october at best. I need to start getting the ball rolling, but it's so hard with surgery being down my neck and taking up all my time. I suppose I'll start gathering my minions as soon as this rotation is over.

And Just a random vent: DO NOT CALL ME PAST 8 pm! Most likely I will be asleep. I have a friend who has consistently been calling around 9-10 pm. Now, I wouldn't be so angry if a lot of her calls didn't follow with the text "can you come watch the kids while I go to the store". Let's not get started. I know you're a single mom now, but go on the way home like everyone else. I am asleep because I get up at 3:30 every morning. I think if she does it again I'll be calling HER when I wake up. You would think between me TELLING her and not answering my phone she would have stopped by now. Ugh.

PIG meeting thurs. SO EXCITED (mainly for Chic-fil-a. I've already realized peds=not for me).

Until next time! stay dry!

You can find me curled up at 7 pm in my bed with my very own Scrubs marathon.
