nervy
I'm mildly nervous about this ambulance shift. Part of it's "Ooh, I hope they like me," since I'll be spending twelve straight hours with the crew, but mostly I'm just stirred up about my first medical shift. Though I've helped people before, this is a big step above what I used to be qualified for. One kid on another shift hand to bag up some sawed-off fingers, and another student had to hold a patient's brain matter in while bagging him. The poor pt had been on the receiving end of a gunshot to the head.
I'm also nervous about medical school applications, but that's just because I was stupid enough to skim studentdoctor.net. Some of the other applicants have already started the 2008 rejection thread, and some of them got their small envelopes as early as 11 July. Those were pre-secondary rejections, though, I know, and I already got a secondary from every school I applied to. But stillll. I'm a pretty good loser, I hang in there and don't whine too much, but it does seem awfully unfair.
I will cling to my interview invitation for now.
