It has been a remarkable night so far. Just... weird things going on. But also things that I am actually managing to Handle. Big "H" handle. Almost like a "real" doctor handling.
Patients with all sorts of weird exam findings that I am able to actually explain - physiologically, even.
A lumbar puncture - with mom and grandma in the room - that I got on the first stick in an unsedated child. (and though not quite a champagne tap, it only had one cell).
A swearing patient that I managed to calm down (at least temporarily).
A seizing patient, that I dealt with on my own, while my resident was dealing with another crisis.
Actually... listed out, these things don't seem all that major. But... I feel particularly competent tonight. (apart from the fact that I just had to look up the spelling of 'competent' because I was doubting my intracranial lexicon)
I ALSO bought a plane ticket to Spain tonight!!! I'm going to Spain!! This notice also serves as an open invitation for any of my friends to join me for part, or all, of my trip. Assuming you don't annoy me too much. :)
To top everything off - I won an iPod Shuffle! For real! It was delivered to my apartment today. Well... they tried to deliver it. I was sleeping. I should get it tomorrow, though. I can take it to Spain!
