I just got done with two weeks of working on the wards and. Just. Rage. So much fucking rage.

Between one of the interns refusing to use our translation system to speak to patients and then having the gall to tell me that he couldn't get a good history because of a "language barrier," that same intern signing his discharge summaries DAYS after the ( Read more... )

So, I finally faced my reluctance to go back to the W359 fic that I had started back in December and spent most of yesterday evening just editing what I had written. I had initially thought that I was going to have to delete the majority of it and perhaps turn it into a 2k word vignette, but it turns out it flowed better than I thought and, like a ( Read more... )

Holy shit. I just had the toughest 4 days of work. I had to work Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday as the attending for TWO teams (well, one and a half). I essentially supervised residents taking care of 17 patients every day. It wasn't too terribly bad until yesterday, Christmas, when the senior resident who was supposed* to come in forgot he ( Read more... )

Oh, holy shit.

I just spent this past week marathoning the shit out of King Falls am. I haven't marathoner so hard since that time I lost a day in med school marathoning Supernatural (thankfully, my tastes have improved drastically since then...). I barely did anything this week. God, I haven't been so immersed in a fictional world in a long damn ( Read more... )

So, tonight was our program's Christmas party. I dreaded it, not least because my best friend wasn't going to be there (she and I usually had a good time sitting in the back and mocking the proceedings) and, because of that, I had to talk to other people (she and I usually ignored everyone else, which is much harder to do when you're solo). My co- ( Read more... )

I guess I should type a bit about my vacation (and about how my family did end up driving to the airport to pick me up, which I really appreciated). I had a good, relaxing time, overall. But then, I got sick on my way back home (after missing my first flight through no fault of my own and therefore my layover and having to take an extra flight to ( Read more... )

I really should be writing more on this thing. There's quite a bit going on, at least in my head that I might benefit from jotting down (or at the very least, use for entertainment years down the road when I'm feeling nostalgic).

First off, I'm re-listening to Wolf 359 and loving every minute of it. I think I gushed on here a bit earlier about ( Read more... )

I finally finished Wolf 359 on Saturday!!! And, holy cow. I'm not gonna go into how fucking AWESOME (and suspenseful!) the last few episodes were. I just pretty much stopped by to leave this time stamp (I would have posted sooner, but my computer screen was broken yesterday and, after literally taking it to the Apple store and trying to turn it on ( Read more... )

I can't recall if it was during second or third year of med school that I discovered WtNV during a road trip to visit my aunt, but it appears that I can thank a road trip this past weekend to visit my mom's cousin for the discovery of my new favorite podcast (and new fandom to dive right into, small though it may be). Wolf 359 has provided one fun ( Read more... )
