And they're off...
I started my first rotation on the 6th. They just basically gave a short orientation and then dropped us off with our team...and we were off...and I still feel like I'm running to try and catch up. The sad reality is that I probably will never catch up. It's amazing that I have paid for the privilege of feeling stupid. I know nothing. Everyone on the team knows I know nothing. I could have told you all that and saved a whole butt load of money.
Actually it isn't all bad. True I have spent waaay to many hours in the hospital...and I will continue to have more (especially since I am on call tomorrow), but I am with Christy so at least I have someone good to grieve with. Our resident, attending, and interns are nice as well, making the experience far less painful that it could be...and I do enjoy what I am doing for the most part...but there are still moments that my brain is yelling "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" which is only rivaled by "D'OH YOU ARE SUCH AN IDIOT!" or some equivalent.
Today I am just trying to enjoy the precious hours that I have off. If you want to get in contact with me e-mail or leaving a message on my phone will probably be the best. If I don't answer back for a while it's not because I hate you, it's because I've been sucked into the black hole that is the hospital.
Damn you Hippocrates. Do no harm my ass. You try doing no harm when you know nothing.
