About to head into work for the last night of the month, and then back to the light of day again! All-in-all the month went as well as any night float month one could ask for. Learned so much. Was able to scrub into a handful of cases which were left over from the day. Another handful of bedside procedures, still hungry for more though. Even have to admit I had fun on nights! It makes a huge difference who your teammates are. My senior resident was Monica this month. One of our goals in working together was efficiency, and we got pretty good at it. We'd time ourselves when a consult for appendicitis would come in. So far have it down to 17 minutes start to finish! Patient seen, admitted, consented and booked! We'll aim to break that yet tonight! ;)
These past two weeks, we pushed each other to get some exercise as well. After leaving the hospital for the morning, enjoy the fresh morning air with a quick run! There were mornings where we were so tired and head hurting, wanted to do nothing more than go right to bed. That's what having the accountability friend is for... make you go for the run anyways, and like magic the headache goes away, the fog in the brain clears, and life is better again!
Much Love!
