| Today is my first call night. By virtue of circumstances, I had not yet taken call overnight--on our team, 2 senior med students always take call on Thursdays and Mondays, which fell exactly onto my call schedule last week, and meant that I did not have to stay overnight those nights. Nice. ..? However, it also meant that all through last week I did lots of busywork on the floor without knowing well any of the 25 patients there, having not admitted any of them. In many aspects, it made my job a lot more difficult.
Anyways, I'm now off to my first call, but not without a 30 min run during my only morning off; my first training of the week. |
