Names redacted to protect the not-so-innocent (namely me) I just got this message that was sent to the clinic director ( Read more... )

I have babysat for one family through my freshman year of college all the way through medical school. The kids were six and three when I started, and I was even invited to the six year old's bar mitzvah because I knew them so long. It was a proud moment for me, because I felt like I helped raise him up as much as his parents and family, because he ( Read more... )

Always nice to be told "You need to stop being so good! Not all the new patients can have you as their doctor!"

Heh. Though if I start screwing up, I'd get fired. Oh, well, I guess I'll just have to keep doing what I do. :D

Note to self: When one of the kids wakes you up at 3:30 am, and you finish up around the time your alarm is about to go off, just make some coffee and stay up. Trying to get another ten to fifteen minutes of sleep just means you sleep through everyone else's alarms and are groggy. :(

Apparently he would eat two ounces, get sleepy, need to be changed every fifteen minutes and cried a lot. Poor boys. Zach also upended every bin in the house. ( Read more... )

Fridays are usually much laid back. Which is a good thing, considering all ( Read more... )

There have been things I've been worrying about regarding work for the past few weeks. I think I've only obliquely referenced it here if at all. I tend not to post too much detail about work, even if I did it in a private locked post, and wouldn't even if HIPAA didn't exist ( Read more... )
