Here’s to hoping I don’t have to go in today! I took a transfer from ER today but ended up splitting the case with another student. I volunteered to stick around all day today (I was planning on it anyway because I had a lot of paperwork to do and, if I just went home, I would have just gone back to bed) to deal with any patient care that needed to be done. She seemed kind of thrilled by that so was OK with going in tomorrow morning to do our a.m. treatments and physical exam. She also said that she might be cool with doing p.m. stuff since she lives 5 min away from school. I hope she doesn’t change her mind. Even if I have to go in, at least I’ll likely get to sleep in.
Sick puppies are incredibly sad. I’ve felt slightly weepy on and off all day. Plus they get the whole maternal feelings thing going and that makes it worse. I wanted to sit and cuddle her all day.
Yesterday was such a sad day. I read somewhere that between all of the disasters, terrorist attacks, and general tragedies that occurred, the average daily world death toll doubled. That’s unfathomable. And making me feel weepy too. I don’t want to think about it.
Medicine rotations in general make me feel weepy. On my last one, which was an especially awful one, I was so overwhelmed that I completely broke down when Aaron was extra nice and tried to give me pastry he warmed up for me for breakfast. I had so much to do that day and was running slightly behind, I felt like I didn’t have enough time to eat it. I just couldn’t handle it all and started crying, much to my surprise. And then I felt like an asshole since Aaron was being so sweet, which made me cry even more. Talk about a weird start to the day. Even though this Medicine rotation hasn’t been all that bad, I still feel like I want to cry. I think that the service sees so many sad cases and, even though we aren’t having 50% of our cases die or get diagnosed with terminal illnesses like last time, it’s still really emotionally draining.
OK, enough with the sad. Here’s the trailer of a film I really want to see:
Haha! I just realized that the cover picture thing for the trailer is Liam Helmsworth’s naked torso. Makes it look like he’s about to get fitted for a dress. Excellent!
