I started ENT Monday (above-your-shoulders surgery, except brains 'n' eyes)...they found out i'm going into pediatrics, and by Tuesday, they'd tailored my whole rotation toward pediatrics!! They moved me from UH (Ungodly Hellhole) to Santa Rosa (= free parking, free food, nice people, great hospital, all kiddos), and I work only with one resident and one attending. Yesterday, the resident and I did a surgery while the attending was in the corner fiddling with his camera. Hooray!! I still love love love surgery, but I am so glad I picked pedi. Today, we were done at 9am (right?!?) , but did I go home? haha, noooo, I went and hung out in the PICU for 3 hours, cuz I'm a nerrrrrd and I luuuuuv it. I ran into lots of pedi docs I've gotten to work with over the past few years *joyful*, and it made me so excited about next year, no matter where I go. I saw the neurosurgery team; they're always together and they strollll when they walk and they're awesome. The kidney doctor, soft-spoken and twinkley-eyed smiling as he does impossibly long math calculations in his head while everyone else clamors for a calculator, only to confirm his genius. Super-energetic ICU doc, she's intimidating in a fantastic sorta way (I want her job!) The dialysis guy who told me last year he was glad I was going into peds (compliments from nursing, very meaningful to me, because they totally don't have to). The Irish nun (social worker? just-a-nun-doing-nun-stuff?) who greets you like she's known you forever. *sigh* It's nice to be back at work...
...but I miss the ladies in India *sigh*. apparently amanda's been hanging out with them without me, hooker. Well, I guess I was there, but maybe had too much to drink??
