Cruising along...

[resonance42]

So, I complete my credentialing paperwork for my new job ages in advance; I have my clinical privileges approved at one of the sites. On learning this, my new boss asks me if I'm available to start early. I say yes. Other gears swing into motion (about which I'm unaware, but apparently requires lots of paperwork and many, many signatures - I'm amazed that any bureaucracy like ours works this fast).

Fast-forward 4 days later...

I'm now in the middle of my first shift as an attending pediatric hospitalist.

It's definitely a different perspective.

Whoa.

Fun, though.
