Back to Reality


So today I came back to the real world and actually did some work at the hospital. I will summarize the day in list format.

1. I was asked if my Bar Mitzvah was coming up (an attending physician commenting on my age/how old I look/how Jewish I look?).

2. I was asked if I went to college or if I went straight to medical school. This lovely patient got my attention to ask me that question by yelling "Yo, Doogie!"

3. I put my surgical mask on upside down and inside out when entering the operating room. They let me stay because I told them I was on a field trip.

4. I almost passed out.

5. I saw the wrath of a nurse as he proceeded to scream at someone because he hadn't had his 30 minute break. I italicized the word "he" just to send LeighAnn into a fury.

6. I worked my first 11 hour day. Completely over-rated. I think I will stay in school...indefinitely.

captiva island

LT:
we got to spend this past weekend with ryan's parents at South Seas Island Resort on Captiva Island. amazing. amazing weather, amazing scenery, amazing food, amazing relaxation. yeah, so we already live at the beach, but this one was much less stressful. i just wish i could have called in sick today so we could have stayed longer...
