So, tomorrow starts hell where I am either in the hospital attempting to pretend I am a surgeon, or I am at home sleeping, trying desperately to re-charge my brain for another day of hell. Of course, hell can be fun....lots of fire....broken bones....automobile accidents....gunshots....stabbings. But hell also has a mean, sadistic side. One in which the members of this elite group called the hell team have no lives outside of hell. I did not sign up for hell full time, but because my regularly scheduled job in the land of fun requires that we deal with some hell on a regular basis, I am forced to spend a month in hell. I just hope the next 28 days of hell go smoothly.
My last few days of the adult ED went well, except for my last night of course. I got stuck with a drunk with a whopping head laceration that took me nearly 2 hours to close. Sucked. Because of it I got behind on my other patients and spent the rest of the night trying desperately to play catch up. I did finally catch up.....30 minutes after my shift ended. Those are the nights you wish you had a "do over" button.
Overall, the entire first month went really well. Saw some great cases. Learned alot. Of course, I also quickly realized how far I have to go in terms of experiencing and learning. I still love my job though, so that has to count!!!
Of course, hell starts tomorrow....I may have to amend my last statement ;) Have a good night!
