Random Thoughts

1-End of the Golden Weekend. Been relatively relaxing. Got very intoxicated Friday night. Was worth it. Thursday night on-call was somewhat painful, with only maybe 20-30 minutes of sleep, so going out and hitting it hard on Friday was a nice release. I'm sure there are plenty of red flags in there, but... Just chilled out most of yesterday. Had dinner with some friends. Spending today trying to stay on the low-down... Have been to the gym, and am going to get outside for a while this afternoon to enjoy the gorgeous New England fall colours, but then will plan on staying in my flat chilling out..

2-ICU Month. Coming to an end. Just over a week and a half to go, 3 more calls. It's been a really good month. I think I've learned quite a bit as well. If I were going to go into a fellowship, it would be a tough competition between infectious disease and critical care. Have been taking care of two very interesting patients for most of the past week. I've spent a lot of time thinking about how aggressive I'd want to be treated if I were critically unwell. It's kind of tough to know exactly what I'd want done. I'd encourage people to think about this.

3-JP. Back on the pedi ward. Saw her briefly before I left Friday. She didn't look as bad as I'd seen her before. Her mom has made her DNR/DNI (no resuscitation), which is a decision I agree with completely.

4-Patrick. It's been a bit tough this past week or two, I've certainly had a full plate, and work is keeping him busy. I'm not sure I've been the most pleasant person to be around. We're definitely looking forward to my schedule next month when things will resemble a bit of a more normal person's schedule. I certainly am learning that relationships require a fair amount of work as well. Thankfully, we're pretty good at communicating.

That's really the bulk of my life right now. Me. Work. Dating.
