I will not miss you
After today, I never, ever have to go into the OR ever again. Ever! Never again will I be yelled at for standing too close or too far, retracting wrongly, cutting off the knot (which, I am proud to say, I have never done. Was still yelled at, though, until the attending tugged on the knot to prove his point and found it held fast). No more bright lights and incessant beeping and blue drapes everywhere.
Best of all: no more long hours of worthlessness. I don't particularly mind getting to work early or staying late, if I feel that my being there is helpful in some way to the patients. I griped about long hours on medicine, but I loved nearly every minute. I feel the same way about neuro. I loved peds. But to stand around idle just because your superior doesn't want you to go home? Yes, I resent it. And from now on, I don't have to do that! I'm done!
