It's funny how my topics totally change when I'm at "school".
Ugh... Tired. Headache. Sleepy, yet... I don't want to sleep, cause that just means having to wake up and forcing myself to get up. As of now... I can't even say that I hate going to the hospital. So far rotation isn't bad. I just don't want to have to wake up.
Rotation... Today was lectures all day really. First we walked over to this nursing home where they had sort of a... Interdisciplinary meeting on a patient, use her for a case to teach med students / residents / social workers, etc, etc. That was interesting. I don't know why, I never thought of it, but a lot of Geriatrics has to do with Psych. I don't like psych... Anyway, I was really surprised at a point. I didn’t know who this woman was, she was sitting at the front of the table. We arrived late and so I didn't get the full history, but she was saying statins aren't proven to work well, the side effects. Maybe it's causing her... She didn't say weakness, cause that semi makes sense to me... Was it like numbness? I don't know... Basically she had "chronic" back problems, no longer complains of pain, but is on pain killers up the waazo! 2 previous ODs, unsure if they were suicidal attempts so... Part of the reason, the main reason is they are afraid if they d/c her she'll attempt a suicide again. On the medical stand point she's pretty capable to care for herself, but has major psych problem. She wants help, yet doesn't want an aid, etc, etc. Over all I think she wants her sons to step up and physically help her, but they want nothing to do with her, etc, etc. Anyway, what surprised me... The whole statins thing... She's like why don't we discontinue it and give her acupuncture. What? Talking about bringing in a Chinese specialist. What? Anyway, at a point they bring the patient in and she's like arguing about everything, turning everything said around into another argument, etc, etc. At one point when asked about what meds she needs, she's like you can fiddle with anything but my percocet and my ambien. The doctor... I later found out she is a doctor. The doctor mentions that they are breaking the law by giving her ambien for more than 10 days. The patient is like what do you know? You're not a real doctor! OMG! Then the doc is like. Screaming... I am a doctor! I'm board certified. I burst out laughing, not really knowing who this woman was, just she was so defensive about it! Anyway, later I heard she's like "board" certified in like Heme / Onc, uh... Something semirelated to that, geriatrics. They said like 5 things, but actual like recognized board stuff, maybe 1 or 2. Anyway, with the holistic crap and the outburst. Yeah... Uh. After lunch was a lecture on Dementia, Delirium, Depression. Gave me an article for Journal Club. Ew... I hate Journal Club. Now, am I correct in thinking that Journal club is basically a regurgitation of the article? It's on like how exercise prevents the onset of Alzheimer’s. Fun fun. It's due next weds.
Since I'm on the medicine...
Anyway, myspace message... My 1979th visitor. Best number, right? Anyway, from some chick who got abused by Good Sam's Ob people when she delivered. Maybe I'm being insensitive, but... First off all I'm distrustful of the account cause she's a lay person things that seem out of the ordinary, may not be. Then, I mean, yeah she was given "demurral" in her "ivy" against her liking, but did anything bad happen to her from it? She doesn't say anything. Then she mention she had to have a csection. I'm sure there were reasons. The approving afterward... Anyway, I marked it as spam. Part of me wants to get into an argument, or at least ask did anything bad happen from the "demurral" and the csection? Haha... I was born at that hospital. Who knows what the conditions were back then, I mean it was in 1979. LOL!
American Idol. I don't remember previous seasons, but OMG... It's so bad! Contestant after contestant. Not even being borderline ok, but just bad / weird. I'm sure it's the editing. It's got to be. If it is... AI is going down the tubes. Part of me is really appreciating Grease: YTOTIW now and the fact that everyone is great in their opinion.
So, someone finally created a Jason board in the board... Excitement! Do I post something, or wait to see what is posted. At this point no one has posted.
Anyway, this guy's resume scares me... And I thought Jason had experience.
And since I have FNL peeps on my list... Scott Porter singing Something About You. You actually have to... Click on the first vid in the list (or anything, but I want you to see that one.) Then click on the format, then press play... Hope that's not complicated...
