the beginning of the end.

ah, this day i thought would never come. i've moved to the last hospital for my last 6 weeks of rotations. i *technically* have two rotations left... but they are both here and the last one is only 2 weeks instead of four, so let's just go with the end is nigh.

i'm in kirksville - i've been here about 24 hours. i've been to two lectures and seen two patients. the nephrologist (kidney doctor) that i'm working with is going to a satellite clinic tomorrow and "it won't hurt his feelings if i don't come"... so i'm not coming. he's also going to be gone next thursday (MATCH DAY!! EEEEK EEK EEEEEEK! ps, dawn, match day is the magical day when i find out where i'll do my residency...) and friday, so that's nice. i wouldn't be able to work on match day anyway. i'll be busy puking.

here are my thoughts about kirksville so far...

1. eeeek - i have to stay in the hospital??
2. oh, it's not so bad... it's kind of like a dorm room, basically.
3. ugh. my blinds don't close all the way and i get a little creeped out by that.
4. "you may want to shower in the lounge as the water there is warmer."
5. EEEEEEK! water is NOT warmer in the lounge!
6. what, you can't fix the no hot water without turning off water to all the patients and you refuse to do that??
7. oooh, free soda and snacks in the lounge down the hall??
8. well, if i can't have hot water, i'm having LOTS of these free snacks!!
9. this doctor is nice.
10. i feel stupid when i don't know the answers to his questions.
11. hey, my friend tara is here! (ps... tara is a girl from HLG that also went to DMU and she is an intern here this year)
12. oh, tara your puppy is SO cute!
13. and hyper.
14. i have nothing to do tomorrow.
15. oh yeah, by "nothing," i mean "read about acute renal failure."
