11 Days Off

Wolp, finished IM rotation and the shelf. Got 11 days off. I don't even know what to do with myself. Guess maybe I should think about that whole Step I nonsense, eh?

Sometimes...

It is beyond me why people trust doctors. I mean, not that most of us aren't relatively intelligent and well-intentioned... but does it seem to anyone else that for every one time that we are sure about a diagnosis there are 5 times that we are just guessing? And people just accept it. I guess because there aren't any better guesses?

Last Day of IM Rotation

Already!!! I'm done. Just gotta take the Shelf Exam on Friday.

That time of the year again?

Is there a terrible case of PMAD going around? Tons and tons of emails. I responded to 20 or so today. If I didn't make it to yours I'm sorry. It's me, not you ;-)

Don't let me dissuade you from writing, though. I DO read EVERY SINGLE email. And I like reading them. I just don't always get to respond.

Take care ~Ella

Well it's Father's Day...

And we had to tell a big family that their 90 year old rather healthy and lucid father only had a few months left to live because of untreatable cancer. That was sad. Especially because he was such a total doll. When we told him his prognosis he just smiled, shrugged, and said "Eh, Whaddya gonna do? I've had a good life." That's how I want to go down. It was sad, but oddly not terrible. Kind of just like farewell.
