Tails of a Medical Student....

are slim to none during a surgery rotation!

My hours are long and my thoughts are almost nil. But I still really enjoy the rotation and absolutely love being in the OR. The whole process that takes place from pre-op to post-op really intrigues me and I love being a part of it. I'm ready to switch surgery teams in a week so I'll get to see more plastic surgery cases. I also want to go in on a couple Neurosurgery cases (so I'll know what the hell Zach is talking about one day) and also a couple of Orthopaedic cases because it reminds me of Sports Medicine which is also on the list of possibilites for specialities.

I am on long call tomorrow night and will probably sleep all day Saturday. I love having Zach here everynight although I think I'm going to gain 20lbs because I'm not used to eating dinners everynight! My Lean Cuisines and bowl of cereal don't cut it anymore...I've got to find some kind of balance! I guess that means working out more :(

I'm off to shower and watch The Office and ER!
