September Plans
Our neighbors (an M4 and a recent law school graduate) are about to leave for Ghana for a month to, no joke, deliver babies and set up a law clinic. I realize this sounds like the synopsis of an upcoming inspirational memoir, but I assure you, these people and this trip are very real. And […]
Recent Developments!
There has been some excitement at our house lately! One, B’s labor and delivery rotation has had some lows but has been awesome learning experience. He even got to scrub in on a C-section and do a couple sutures! Two, B now likes sushi. You guys, this is such big news, I can’t even explain. […]
I Merely Accept the Nightlife
I do, however, love to boogie. This week B had his first round of nights – 6 p.m.-8 a.m. to deliver babies for the OB part of his OB-GYN rotation. If you have to be up and alert at 3 a.m., there are probably worse/more tiresome things to be doing than delivering babies. But, B […]
Sleepy eyes, full ears, losing
Well, kids, my brain is full, or at least Eustachian tube is and it is making me very grumpy and disoriented. You know frustration with steady pain to the point you just lose it? I spontaneously burst into tears at 1:30 this morning after lying in bed, in vain, praying for sleep, for the past […]
Sunday Sustenance: Grilled Veg and Sausage Pasta
Hello friends! Hope you’ve had awesome weekends. Ours has included the farmer’s market, a Bruegger’s and coffee picnic, a stop at a small town bakery on the way to do some wedding dress shopping with a friend and a date night in with B. It was warm and summery around here, a welcome change from […]
Good Medicine
Anyone who has ever had a bad experience with a medical professional understands how much of an impact it can have. I had a terrible experience when I lived in out East. I was in for a regular check-up type visit, but the doctor was rude, made massive assumptions about the type of person I […]
Switch!
This weekend was a switch weekend for B between clinical rotations. Ya know what that means? A weekend off! We jumped at the chance to take a quick camping trip. I’m not a huge camping fanatic, but I enjoy it for a night or two. However, someone isn’t quite so keen on camping. Mox enjoys […]
Reflections on Clinical Rotations, so far
B just finished up his first clinical rotation, Internal Medicine, this week. So far I would say it has been about what I would have expected. I thought this would make for a good opportunity to reflect on how it has gone so far. The in-patient hours are sh*t. Early mornings and late nights. A […]
