Johari | "Extern"al Life | Random Regular Life | Memeage from nickinney
Here's my Johari Page: http://kevan.org/johari?name=chance1562 Please to be filling it out for me kind sirs and madamses.
I started my externship last week. Worked my first day for 8 hours then switched to four "10"s and worked all for of them for a grand total of 48 hours in one week. I'm tiiiiiiired. Something tells me things are only going to get busier as I get better at it and standing on your feet for 10 hours a day is so not fun. Ouch.
So far I've helped intubate cats and dogs, monitored vitals during anesthesia, partially assisted in a biopsy surgical procedure (I handed stuff to the doctor and held stuff, but that's what as assistant does), done laundry, cleaned up a lost of puke, poop and urine, washed dishes, fed the animals, walked dogs, cleaned exam rooms, run blood tests, restrained animals for catheterization and cystocentesis's and other procedures, gotten scratched (first battle wound, w00t!), given fluids, learned how to hook and unhook the anesthestic machines and infusion pumps, seen more dentals than I can count, almost lost control of a jumpy dog we were trying to catheterize, helped with x-rays (developing and restraining), seen a crater in an animals leg that was left untreated for way too long (months), several lacerations and some cats in renal failure or close to.
Been an eventful week to say the least.
And all of this on top of trying to stay on the diet, not drink fluids for 30 minutes before and after eating (which is hard when it's hot and dry in the clinic and you're running around a lot) and attempt to exercise - which is so not going to happen after 10 hour days at work. WISH is going to have to figure something else out exercise wise because that ain't workin'. I can do it on my off day (I just exercised for 45 minutes) but when I'm working like that? Hell no. Especially since I'm not supposed to have caffiene, so no jump. Ack! (Not that I've necessarily kept to that rule mind you. I try, but you can't go cold turkey...at least I can't.) Oh well, it will work out, either I'll get more energy or die trying .
I got my tax return!!! I promptly went out and spent $130 of it too, but it was for a good cause because now I have L&O: SVU s1-s2 on DVD and the Family Guy - Stewie movie. Life is good that way, but I've already watched them all ::sadness::
I'm still looking for a car, but the market is extremely shitty for what I want right now, so I'm having to wait which is not making me overly happy. I will get what I want though, someday.
What else, what else? My life is boring as hell right now, but mostly because I'm sitting on my ass doing nothing. I need to set up an appointment at WISH and my surgery date, set up a physical and a butt load of tests at my GP and then a whole bunch of crap at home, like laundry, cleaning and working on my website. I lack the motivation to do any of these things at the moment. I miss coffee.
