A Quickie

In the hospital library now using the internet (no internet at home for another week or so) so thought I’d just cough up a quick and dirty post before I get back to doing some actual work

I am still here, a little worse for wear, but still alive after having to up and move to a new rental property and having to deal with all the extra bits that come along with coping with the rigors of Med and with differences in personalities in a diplomatic fashion.

Milestones and other frivolous loose ends
1. Medicine: We get to go on wards once a week this year for our 1.5hr long clinical coaching session with our registrar. YES! Wards! Meeting actual patients! Listening to hearts, lungs, palpating for livers, spleens, kidneys, conducting neurological exams on actual patients, not each other

2. The new house: We have a garden. A lovely garden for, well, gardening. My room is 2.5x the size of my old one, its a little further into suburbia, but we love it nonetheless.

3. Iggy Pop: Our neighbour’s dog is the sweetest mutt. He came onto our porch one night, tail between his legs, extremely shy and placid. I found out that he was adopted by from the RSPCA. His hind legs are weak and unstable from what we presume to be, the abuse he used to receive.

4. I bought an iPhone

K. Back to the books!
