bargain!

what a steal! i got 5 new work shirts and a skirt from the clearance racks at dilliard's for $50. $50! can you believe that? sweet.

hot-t and one of our other friends were in town this weekend, so we all went out last night. it was fun to be with all of them again. and hot-t was looking exceptionally hot. i miss him. (he's in minnesota doing a family practice rotation currently.) i probably won't see him again until january when we are both in detroit. :-(

so, call this weekend was good times (basically, call just meant that we had to go in saturday and sunday morning to do "rounds" on our patients and "the dude's" partner's patients - only took a couple hours each morning).

i had my first 14 year old girl swear at me.

"the dude" told me this morning that i had "earned" her. she was admitted last night, and so we had to do her admission interview this morning. i'm not sure if earning the right to do said admission interview was a privilege or a punishment, but nevertheless, here's me and this 14 year old girl (who was admitted for assaulting her staff at the residential facility, as the case may be...) in a room by ourselves, and she's starting to get annoyed at the interviewing... i'm starting to ask her some pretty probing questions regarding her feelings (because i am practically a psychiatrist), when she replies, "i don't want to answer the f***ing question!" oh. ok. nevermind then.

"the dude" came in and was actually impressed with the amount of information i had managed to get out of her, so i guess that's good. and i finished her work-up in way less time than he had anticipated. (he told me not to worry about seeing any other patients, to just concentrate on her, but i ended up joining him for one of the patients we were covering on the adult floor, and then i saw my two little kids on the kids floor.

being a doctor is fun. unless 14 year old assaultive girls are dropping the f-bomb on your plate.
