Pediatrics

As this is my second month of pediatrics, and its almost over, I’ll run down the highlights (for my own memory) of the first 7 weeks:

Dr. Cochran (If you haven’t worked with him, you don’t get it, and never will. If you have, smile quietly to yourself and remember your favorite times with him…)

Leaving the ER 4 times over the course of a 12 hour shift to get random things for Dr. Viets

“Acute Gastroenteritis” HA! 9.5/12 sucker.

Height: 5’10″ Weight: 275 Age: 9 freaking years old

Performing a Lumbar Puncture on a 8 moth old kid in status epilepticus.

The first time I was attracted to an attending.

H&P times a million

Being able to confidently tell people what I’m going into…without regrets.

Boredom on the Wardom

Having nothing to say to a crying mother watching her child die. Feeling bad about getting annoyed at how much time we spent in the patient’s room.

Feeling, for the first time this year, like one of my residents doesn’t like me.

Musical attendings.

Team Badass/Bad patients. Team Disaster.
