On Fire

It's hot. Like, you walk outside and burst into flames type of hot. I think I'll pull up weather channel and apply to every program in any state where the temp is below 90 degrees. This is ridiculous. Heat index was 113 with an actual temp of 105. Seriously? ugh.

However, I finished my anatomic pathology month. Freaking loved it! I only got to see 1 autopsy, which was disappointing, and didn't get to see any limbs grossed in the lab but it was amazing. I seriously miss it. I was so sad I didn't get to go today. Instead I went to family medicine clinic. It was ok, just clinic. And not path. However, I told them if they could get me some quick stains and a microscope I'd read all paps in house. They just thought I was kidding....

This week will be full of meetings. I have my dean's letter meeting (um, still gotta do that personal statement) and a meeting with the chair of the path dept. I need to start asking people for recommendation letters, so I'm sure I'll have to miss a bit of clinic here and there. Hopefully it won't be a big deal.

I also got to see my amazing friends this past weekend. It was kinda lacking since one of the original gang is all married and living elsewhere and couldn't come :( She was there in our thoughts, however. we did stupid stuff like watch Jurassic Park and made dinner and went to the pool. It was a "boys are crap" weekend as well, as me and a friend of mine got screwed over. We didn't let that ruin our fun! And my friend M has two kittens. Tiny tiny, probably 4 weeks old! One of them even peed on me (too young to hold it for long) which caused a very long laughing fit by the 3 of us. Good times, I miss my girls! I'll be going  back and seeing them soon.

Anywhoo, everyone seems to be chugging along with rotations and such. I'm sure I'll have great stories. My story of the day was a 16 yo with chronic pain, needing lortab, who mysteriously disappeared (along with his mother) when we asked for some urine for a drug screen. At first he "couldn't pee" and when they realized he'd be given all the water he could stomach, they systematically disappeared. Ahh, life of direct patient interaction.
