I've been married to my pager since 9pm last night, and am married to it until at least 8am. Lemme think.. so that's like 37 hours. Let me explain...
So last night and Friday night I was the overnight intern, which means I went to work at 9pm and then the other medicine residents signed out their patients to me. I was covering somewhere around 70 to 80 patients. Those night went well. Even managed to get a bit of sleep Friday during the night.. I finished at 8:30 this am.
But, since 8 am I have been the on-call doc for clinic patients. Pretty chill today as well, but means I need to be available to call people back..
Things I miss about Dublin (yes, there are some things).
-It is raining today. It's the perfect day to spend it indoors (obviously) having friends over for tea and conversation. I don't know why that doesn't really happen here. Maybe it's because aside from J & J, my friends are co-residents. When you're working gobs, it's kind of tough to make spontaneous coffee hanging out things happen. Maybe that's a bullshit excuse. I dunno.
What I do know, is that since I'm on call today, and when I found out it was going to rain all day, I decided that this would be the perfect day to stay home and finish some house chores, including organizing my books so I can hopefully start being a bit more productive in my study habits..
I'm more inclined to sip coffee and think about tea with friends in Dublin.
Speaking of Dublin.. possible trip to Dublin in November.. shhh! I'm keeping it quiet til I know for sure.
Cheers,
B
