ER
Neal is forcing me to watch ER!
This show is maddening.
To insert a femoral line they made a 10 cm incision!!! You know, real central lines you insert a needle, put in something to make the whole bigger, put in a guidewire, put in a different needle, make a very small incision, you put in a different tube and that is a central line! THERE IS NO 5 INCH INCISION.
Additionally, I believe that druag companies may pay some of the tab for ER. "these drugs save lives" OF COURSE, but what fuck nut would put anything that has even the REMOTE probability of nephrotoxicity as a first line treatment for someone who has already had a kidney transplant?
and since when does ANY medical professional believe that drug companies are great. they do NOT publish studies that show results they dont want to show, yes, the drugs help many people but for the love of god, they hurt many people too.
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
i am now in a shitty mood, this show is worse shit than i thought, i blame neal

holy crap its cold
i am not pro 30 degree drop in two days. in fact, i am ANTI that.
and somehow neal and i left the heat off when we went up to dayton fo 3 days, when i got back it was 50degrees in our apartment.
chilly! allegedly it is like 70 right now, but, i dont believe that at ALL
i got like 8 new shirts that i can wear to work this weekend. that is good. mom and dad bought them for me, that is ALSO good!
spongebob is a little annoying, it used to be my ' if nothing else is on' show, but, i dont think so very much anymore...

who knew
i am really really liking psych. like, way more than i expected. i really think i may want to be a psychiatrist when i grow up. i know, i know, i have thought that about surgery, and i have liked EVERYTHING more than i expected, but, i dont know, i like psych. it seems pretty academic, which i like, it is talking to people, which i like, and it involves meds, which i kind of like too, but need to work on now.
currently i am watching an episode of columbo that stars johnny cash.
for the record, neal got his ears pierced of his own volition, though i was a supporter. HOWEVER, he is in constant fear of infection, the other day he touched his ear and his hands hadnt been washed for a while, so he ran into the bathroom and put his head under the sink and washed it off...i got another set of holes in my ears this past weekend (the day before neal) and one is a little irritated / swollen and red, neal is CONVINCED that it is infected and i think is worried that it will spread to him now...so, anyway, good way to harass neal, try to touch his ears.

the nut house
today i started my psych rotation.
i am doing 3 weeks at childrens hospital, and, though i have done very little in the way of actual WORK, am thinking that i may actually like it.
my friendly neighborhood financial aid office gave me a friendly note. as of june 17, 2005 maggie will have taken out ~115,000 in loans, yay. i should expect to pay ~1,300/month until i die (approx time) which will mean that i would pay back ~140,000, ok, not HORRENDOUS, however, NOTE: this does not include money for next year yet!
this coming weekend and hopefully another weekend this month i am doing TPR trainings. money = nice. found out that i am one of 3 (of 120) people out of the columbus office that makes the amount per hour that i make, which makes me feel special on the inside. if i like it enought to do it full time, and if i were able to find full time work i would give consideration to teaching / training for tpr full time, could make adequate money, however, would have to live in like NYC for that to be a valid option.
um, im trying to think if i have anything else interesting to say....though i guess that implies that the tings that i have said so far have been interesting....i think neal gave me a disease.
