it’s August already?

*looks back*

I survived my first month of internship. I actually finished yesterday and had my last precious day off (spent once again tackling the loan issue. Still no answer, but I’m not giving up) today. It wasn’t that bad, really, this first month, I certainly expected worse. I was busy, but not horrendously so. My patient load was fairly light (I averaged about 3 patients, the most 6 on my first day, a couple of 0 that was really sweet), I was on a great team, worked with fabulous medical students who were eager, humorous and brilliant, had great attendings, two call nights where I got 6 hours of sleep around calls, and most days didn’t have to arrive at the hospital until around 7:30.

So, only 71 more months I guess. 🙂 But who’s counting.

I start working in the Neuro ICU tomorrow. It’s been over a year since the last time I did critical care and over a year and a half since I did adult neurology. So, I think it’s going to be much more of a learning curve… I guess I’ll be finding out whether or not this neurology thing is really for me.

I’ve spent the last couple of evenings watching the first season of Everwood on DVD. I started watching it because i was a little homesick (after the pilot, it was all filmed in Utah. They used to shoot scenes near where I lived and oh! those mountains!), but I got sucked in. I had forgotten how incredible their first season was… I’m not a big fan of first seasons of most shows (Buffy, Voyager, XF).. where the writers and the actors struggle to figure out how the story is going to unfold, but honestly, I think the first season was the best of the four of Everwood. The acting is honest and raw, every human emotion is so poignant and touching and real. This, this is what is great television, with (mostly) medically accurate portrayals to boot! Do yourself a favor…find it, rent it, buy it, watch it.

And that is the end of my commercialism preaching today.

    I’m glad to know that things are going as well as can be expected for you. I think of you always and send good wishes your way.

    Thank you for standing up for my ‘Everwood’. It is beautiful in so very many forms. I love it to pieces even now that there are only pieces of it left.

    I can’t remember — have you written any ‘Everwood’ fic? Was that how we met?

      My goal was to read 120 books this year. I just finished number 129. (Some of these I reviewed as part of my WWW posts). October: Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt. I had high expectations for this book, as it had been so praised, and I felt let down by it. Still enjoyable, […]
