Last hurrah with Miss Tanya Lee today at Disney before she moves up North and picked up this beaut for Tony. We were playing with them at Target but they didn't have the corvette.
Has it been almost a month since I last updated?! =O
Anyways, internal medicine has kept me busy... and sedated. Who needs sleeping pills when you're running around the VA all day and then you just completely zonk out as soon as you get home?!
Per request, I'm just going to post some pictures from the wedding! (So for those of you I don't talk to on a weekly basis or don't have access to my personal google calendar, I went to a wedding in San Diego this weekend with Tony. It was his friend's wedding and it was at the Darlington House in La Jolla
day 89 (wednesday - march 30th): day 2 of internal med
So today was Day 2 of internal medicine. Went slightly smoother than Day 1 being that I get the hang of aminoglycoside dosing now. I still feel like a dozo though being that I don't commit to memory any of the guidelines. I got to make an intervention today which was pretty cool. So every week I go through antibiotics and make sure they are dosed correctly and the culture and sensitivies show that we are using a drug that the organism is sensitive to. So yesterday we found a patient on ertapenem with cultures pointing to Strep B. Today the sensitivities came back with the organism being sensitive to ampicillin. So my preceptor sent a note to the doctor telling him to change ertapenem to ampicillin :). We'll see if he'll actually change the drug.
After that, I went to my regional meeting which too a super long time. Then after that I went to happy hour. Now I'm back at home but I feel soooooo super sleepy :(. Probably going to call it and night and then study tomorrow morning for didactics (which is just another term for quiz).
