Can't tell if the surgical residents including me in their jokes and digs is a sign of entering the circle of trust or they just actually think I'm an idiot sandwich.
Saw a patient who as a result of having had COVID is going to have to have all her toes amputated because her foot is literally DEAD. She's 12. Wear your mask...don't be selfish.
I get so excited for the teen and college jeopardy tournaments because I assume I'll dominate the categories but turns out I'm still just mediocre at all of jeopardy.
You know if you wear gloves at the store and touch the credit key pad, your wallet, phone, cart, keys, and steering wheel that you're just playing yourself right? HC providers don't wear the same gloves between patients bc they're 1x use. Plz leave wearing gloves to the pros.
Watching open heart surgery this week and scrubbed in at the operating table while bringing a patient back from essentially dead has probably been the most badass and terrifying thing I've been a part of like...ever.
Am stepping in the OR this week and will be actually helping in surgery. Hopeful I don't get yelled at, jk probably will and will cry in public but let's get it anyway, Yeet!!
2 months I'll be in the operating room suturing people, helping deliver babies, and helping write admission orders...excuse me like what??!! 2020 is going to be wild.
Yesterday while taking a patient history in the hospital patient began talking to the nurse tech about me in Spanish and I interrupted in Spanish to tell them I understood what they were saying and he went back to English real quick.
Thankful for my friends outside of grad school who are always overcoming challenges and reminding me to keep excuses to a minimum. These brats in my grad program are really hurting my soul right now with their never ending projection of negativity. It's so toxic and draining.
