ok...lets be honest....
i am never going to finish that previous entry.
let me summarize, i got yelled at all the time last month at the drop of a hat for no reason, or the reason of "asking to fucking many questions" but a jackass who i think truly believes that little magic men (leprechauns i prefer to think) make the "kidney" work. he truly believed that it was entirely possible for urine and serum createnine to be equal, even knowing that serum createnine was 0.9-1.0. if that means nothing to you, then ignore, but, suffice it to say, it is NOT possible in ANY world.
i am now in the SICU, which is neato. but frusturating, very hard to keep up, on call i am essentially responsible for up to 12 critically ill patients....anyway, the really crappy part is that we are on call q3 (every 3rd day, i am on call, so, for instance, this week, saturday i went to work at 6am, got off sunday at 10 am, monday i worked 6am-1pm, tuesday i work 6am till wednesday at 12 noon, thursday i work 6 am - 12 noon or 1pm, friday i work 6am till 12 noon saturday, and i am off sunday), ROCK ON! as you may imagine, this makes duty hours of <80/week a joke....but, i do still like the SICU, if i had to do this on a medicine ward or something as crappy as my last month (general surgery) i would be crying a lot, at least this is interesting. but, q3 should be illegal!
very poor SICU planning, last month there were 11 or 12 residents in the SICU, this month there are 6, and one is on a different rotation schedule, so for the last week or so ther will only be 5.
BLAH!
