I'd Rather Not

So my first couple of days of Neuro were ok. The residents were all nice and the attending Dr. R was GREAT. then, attendings changed. And now neuro is my living hell. This attending wants not the one H&P require, but TWO. Which I guess would be alright if he didn't want identifying information, assessment/plan, diagnosis, and I'm not sure maybe coded? All by thursday. Plus we're supposed to present I think one patient at rounds? So yeah. Instead of learning and going "yup, don't like it" now i'm like "holy mother of God can I PLEASE go back to surgery?" And we don't even have that many patients. I may not get the 2 H&P's.

But I will say my partner is GREAT. I need to apologize for the vent fest friday after the worst.rounds.ever. Especially since her hubby was stranded and she needed to go and i was just annoyed that the guy wasted our time by trying to explain the physics of the MRI machine for an hour.

Well, I'm back in the gym and on the way to my first 5K! I saw the Blues Marathon Runners today and i was like "I WANNA DO THAT!" haha. I've always needed a hobby. Maybe running will suffice? I'll be excited when it warms up so I can run outside.

I've also been thinking more about doggie. I've started looking into cocker spaniel rescue places. There are some in TX, GA, and FL. So that's another option I suppose. But I never know if I"ll be approved for a dog or not. As much as I'd like a puppy, I think getting a grown up dog will be ok too. The only thing that I hesitate about is that they already have a name! What if I don't like their name?! can I change it? ugh. But, I think I'll want a cocker. I picked it because it's known as "sporty" and I'll need a buddy to go running with and walks. Plus my mom had some way way before she and my dad were married and really liked the breed. They're known to be good with kids and other animals also. Plus, I don't want a little tiny dog either. I want something a little more hearty than my poodle Luna. But I'm sure I'll go and browse CARA or whatever when it comes closer to time.

Can I just fast forward to July? I'd rather not do the rest of this neuro/medicine/ob-gyn/peds thing. Thanks.

i adore cocker spaniels.... there was an american cocker spaniel that lived next door to me while i was growing up, and she was the SWEETEST.DOG.EVER.... she was cream with the little white tuft of hair on her head... she was the happiest dog i'd ever met, and really focused on making people happy, too. :) post pictures whenever you get around to picking one out! :)
