to appease the masses.

i am busy. i worked 110 hours in my first week of residency. i've started in the neonatal intensive care unit, taking care of brand new little bitty sick babies. my first day, was very very busy and i worked for 30 hours and took care of a very very sick baby who i thought was going to die. she's a fighter though. and she's alive, and not really very sick anymore. but she's still tiny and will probably have quite a bit of neurological problems in life. it's very sad. her mom turned 17 last week. that is also sad. i like her family a lot though.

i've gotten pretty good at circumcisions. i kinda like doing them too, and i guess you could call that weird.

i'm post call today. meaning i was on call yesterday and worked 30 hrs. that's a long time. i came home and took a nap, then did some laundry. that was apparently a bad idea... i always always always empty my scrub pockets on the vanity at my front door. except apparently not *always* because there were shreds and shreds and shreds of wet paper all over my clothes. i shook them out the best i could and dried them. i need to go shake them again. trying to figure out if i need to rewash them. i did buy a new lint roller tonight with the thought that maybe i can just roll the shreds off.

i have my weekly clinic tomorrow. clinic. in which i see patients. patients who come to see me. because i'm their doctor. and that continues to weird me out.
