July

So it is July, and a lotta things have gone down... For one I am now a 3rd year resident.  The final year of residency, where I am the senior, and will probably have to exercise more responsiblity, knowledge, and mentorship, which is kind of nice.  In a way I'm also a "lame duck" resident, since I have matched for my cardiology fellowship at North Shore.  But I must say I do enjoy general medicine, and I will miss a lot of it when I do cardiology, so I feel I should live it up and do as much learning, teaching, and everything else that I can! 

I ended my second year with vacation as I had said before, my cousin's wedding, and then the final 3 days I spent in Vegas.  The interns at our program usually go to Vegas at the end of their first year, and luckily I had vacation, so being the unofficial social chair, I deemed it necessary for me to go with them!  Myself and 2 other seniors rolled, and man it was fun as hell... We stayed at the Venetian, partied it up, and had a blast.  I won about $200 (measely I know, but at least I didn't lose!), but spent a shit load more... The pics are again on facebook, so checkem out!

Now I have started back on the medical wards (one of three months this year).  July is a crazy month to be on the wards, because all the interns are brand new!  I started the day after I got back, and barely slept in vegas, and have barely slept this week!  It has been busy.  Nobody knows what the hell they are doing, so I have to double check everything and hold their hands... Was I this slow and incompetent as an intern? Who knows... Anyhows, at least none of my interns cried, because I saw one balling in tears the 2nd day!  Luckily so far, there has been no malpractice on my service... I advise you all to not get sick this month, because you'll be taken care of by rookies!!  More medical stories definitely to come this month, so stay tuned...

Today I went back to NJ for a bbq at the 'rents house with some fam and friends. Good times. So as I am heading in after work around 3, I go into town to get some beer and chips.  Of course I am speeding, 51 in a 25, and I get pulled over!  Fuck.  It's been ages since the heat got me.  I quickly put on my ID, and throw my stethescope on my lap to let him know what I'm all about.  Will the doctor card work? I hoped so.... So the cops rolls up, surly bitchy looking guy, and takes my license and registration.  He asks for my insurance, and as I look for it he starts asking me questions.  I tell him I'm a doctor in the Bronx, back for a BBQ, and yes I have lived in Tenafly all my life (I haven't for years, but my license says he does).  He asks me why is my steth in my lap, and I slyly answer it was on my neck but I just took it off... Meanwhile I couldn't find my damn insurance card!  He asks me what am I doing, and clearly there was no front for an emergency, and I said I am coming back from work, and going to get some tortilla chips for the bbq.  Stat.  He starts going off on speeding blah blah blah, and is pissed I don't have my insurance....  Finally he gives in and lets me go, and tells me to get my insurance card and not to speed, and that was it....  Nice.   That woulda been speeding AND reckless driving for doubling the limit!  Looks like this doctor thing paid off!  I went on my way, and that was it....  Gotta love it.

I should buy one of those stethescope things and put them in my car just in case.

Meh... you actually have to get through 7(?) years of med school and carry a stethescope to get off on a speeding ticket...

All I've gotta go is show some leg...

BAAA HA HA HA...

It's a woman's life my friend.
