So, Saturday was our monthly intern gathering. (Once a month we have an intern retreat, so we get together as a group and socialize). On the way to our hiking destination the 3 of us in the car were chatting. This is the summary of part of the conversation. One of my peers has recently started taking omeprazole as well! Here I am, trying to hide the fact that I'm self-treating some GI upset issues and come to find out that 3 of the 7 of us are all on PPIs, as well as quite a few other residents in our program! Even more shocking, this intern has also had to QUIT COFFEE!! Woah there, lets not get all crazy! Come on, I pop those little pills in the morning so my stomach can tolerate the coffee!
Anyway, Saturday was outstanding. Amazingly, we were all off on Saturday. So we had a lovely hike, followed by dinner, followed by dessert, followed by drinks in this tiny bar with 2 guys playing what I learned was Americana music. Good times. We have a great intern group!
This is my last free weekend til sometime in June, so it's been a nice lazy weekend. I was also out Friday night, which, ended up at Taco Bell at 3am. Wow, haven't been to Taco Bell in prob 2 year?? Suspect it'll be another 2 years as well.
Blah blah blah, blah blah blah.
Oh, so this is cool. When I was having dinner with J&J on Friday, they had this great candle burning, that sounds like a "crackling fire." So, I had to get one of those today as well. Cool stuff.
That's really about it for now. I'm starting med wards on Wednesday. Aside from the 6 days a week, I'm actually kind of looking forward to it this time around... Speaking of medicine, the new issue of TIME has an article about medicine, and I'm not the biggest fan of time, but a part of this story caught my eye, and that part was a slam against residents.. I have only read the first part of the article, so I'm deferring final comments til later...
Alright, should probably get some sleep...
