It's been a crazy last two weeks - with exams coming up and the Red Sox winning game 6 of the ALCS + fun at Harrah's + a ridiculous last touchdown at the LSU game on my birthday + my new pet betta (hopefully a segway pet to a Schnorkie puppy).
I've otherwise lived at school, studying with Jenna. Tuesday I took a break in the afternoon to spend time with an internist in the city and do rounds at the hospital. I met up with him at the LTAC near the hospital, and the only parking spot left said "DOCTOR" on it. So I parked there. And giggled about it. I got to palpate an enormous enlarged spleen and feel a woman's atrial fibrillation and chatted with a bunch of patients.
Today I went to a lunchtime session on how to intubate, which was kind of cool and possibly a disaster. Fortunately, I also learned that oxygenating a patient before intubation puts their O2 at 100% so there are actually a good 2-3 minutes in which to get the tube in.
Sweet.
