Fellowship

Well my first week was only a 3-day week, but here's how it went.
July 1st - Show up at 7am for the tuesday physiology lecture. They forget that I'm starting today, so I chill by myself for 45 minutes. Could have slept in. I'm on anesthesia, so later I intubate a kid and put in an IV. I remind everyone I'm not a 2nd year resident, however much I may look like one. Fill out more forms.
July 2nd - Show up to clinic, supposedly to "observe" my first AM. My first patient arrives and I realize I'm not just observing. But hemoptysis is cool.
July 3rd - More anesthesia. I'm in an LMA room. Sort of boring, but I hear lots of gossip about the hospital and the layoffs. I almost nod off in the OR after 3 consecutive mornings of getting to work at 0700. I leave work at 5:30 even though this is a light month and I'm supposed to get off at 3:30, because others are running late to review PFT's with me.
July 4th - I actually have off!!! I feel grateful. Hope you all enjoyed it as well!
