1 week down......5 to go!

One week of Ob/gyn completed.....which also included my first call, on the first day! I decided to volunteer because what else was I going to do on Monday night. It was a fairly quiet night. Only 1 c-section....I went to bed around 11pm and woke up at 6:30am. Then the best part occurred, I got the rest of the day off!!!! NOTHING like surgery where we had to suffer through a whole day of work post call. It was nice having that day off....I actually got alot done. I also had plenty of rest time to attend Daniel's birthday party.....drank alot of wine :)

What to say about Ob/gyn at Coney Island? Well, it is not well organized (not like pediatrics or surgery and worse than internal). There are no residents from Maimo, just PAs and midwives who deliver. The attendings are all overworked and it clearly shows. There is a lot of down time to do nothing which in a way I am not complaining about because I am currently studying for Step II. But it does get annoying to show up to clinic at 9am to only have to wait for the attendings to strole in at 10:30am. Overall, I am just hoping that 5 weeks come and go very quickly.

Call #2 is tomorrow so hopefully it is busy for a sunday.

In other news, according to UPS my computer should arrive here on Tuesday.....YAY!!! What happen you ask?? It broke.....the screen would freeze over and over. Diagnostics run by the service guy at Best Buy showed a bad hard drive. So, it had to be shipped out for repair. A one week without a computer adventure turned into 2 1/2 weeks. I almost had to come back here to Brooklyn without a computer. But Walt let me borrow his very old Dell which I am totally grateful for. He also picked up and shipped my computer.....Thanks Walt!!! Hopefully Toshie can give me another year or so....then I can buy myself a new one as a graduation gift :)

Well, I have another hour or so of studying before bed time. Have to prepare myself for monster #2 in approximately 12 weeks!!! :) Everyone have a great night.
