PICU Part Two

2:30 am. just finished tucking in the kid I just admitted. interesting day. Like running a neurosurgical service. broken heads today. bleeds in the brains. two 20 y/o girls, and now a 2 year old boy. girls were preventable. bike helmets are a good thing. not driving drunk is a good thing. having a 2 year old with a brain mass is not a good thing. nice people today. great nurses. It's been a pretty decent month. I hate to complain cause on the one hand i know that next month is going to kick my ass (when I'm in the Adult ICU working more hours than any human should), whereas this month the work has been actually mellow, but I don't think I'm learning as much as I had hoped. partly my fully, of course, haven't really had the time/motivation to read much outside of work.

Anyway, life is really good right now. It's going to be a crazy few month (on-call 3 of the next 4 months), with a vacation to Ireland, and then home for New Years.

Ok, going to get some much needed precious sleep now. Oh, funny thing, we had a lecture on sleep deprivation earlier in the week, would have been nice had they allowed us to take a nap instead of going to a conference on sleep deprivation.
