Hello Ladies!
So I see we all took a little summer break from the website. My excuse is my Surgery Rotation. It was 2 months of waking up at 445 a.m. and spending 30 hours straight without sleep at the hospital! Can we say fun?!?! I enjoyed what I was doing and learned a lot, but the hours kinda get old quick. So I was working in a Trauma center hospital that serves basically the poorest of the poor. This means I saw some really interesting people. The most interesting trauma case I saw was this young guy (like 25 years old). He just got out of jail the night before and decided he wanted to visit his sister. So he went to her apt. but she didn’t answer her door. So he decided that he would just climb into her window. She lived on the second floor of the building so he climbed up the outside of the building. Well he somehow slipped, and fell onto the wrought iron fence in their yard! So the paremedics found him with the fence through his armpit! It took them an hour to cut a part of the fence off so they could bring him into us. So at 6 am he shows up, with a huge part of the fence just sticking out of him! He was awake and talking but it was crazy! (they don’t pull out the fence at the scene cuz the patient could bleed to death if the fence goes thru a blood vessel.) But there was a happy ending. They took it out in the OR and he was absolutely fine!
Now I am doing family practice for a month so my hours are much better. So far I just have been doing school physicals and talking to ladies about various discharges..not very exciting.
Other then work things are going well. I go out as much as I can and just love living downtown! My mom is becoming a little more open minded about the idea of a non-catholic wedding..but I am still really confused about what I want to do. What do you guys think of meeting up on some nice island and just having a party in during which I happen to get married? Or does anyone just want to plan a wedding for me? cuz i just get a headache thinking about it.
Well this is getting long…so I will stop..but I Hope you all write something soon..I miss you all tons!
