Glorious new blog feature
I know it has been a long time since I updated my blog. Nothing happened to me except residency. As I am less than a year from graduating, I just haven't had time. Besides, rather than tell rambling stories about my life, I'm trying a new feature on my blog: Random Thoughts Top Ten. I'll give a little paragraph about why I am doing said topic. Some of this will be medical. Some of this will be pop culture like TV and movies. Some of it will be from my own life i.e. pregnancy. Hopefully this will motivate me to update more regularly.Today's topic was inspired by a day off from my ER rotation. I have started rewatching my season 1 and 2 Grey's Anatomy DVDs, now from the resident and future attending perspective.
Ten Things from Grey's Anatomy that never happened during my internship
1. Never made-out (let alone slept with) any other doctor/nurse/tech/patient/desk clerk at the hospital.
2. Never allowed a surgical resident to perform Pediatric Advanced Life Support on any infant - surgeons never attend deliveries.
3. Never performed an unauthorized procedure/autopsy/surgery. Period.
4. Never had the time to meet every day with my friends for private lunch.
5. Never performed a intubation/procedure without any protective equipment.
6. Never deliberately sabotaged a patients recovery to make them sicker, let alone cutting LVAD wires.
7. Never used a call room for a conjugal visit, though I showed my husband the call room once with the door open.
8. Never got in a fist fight with a patient or other staff member at work or outside of work.
9. Never felt any of the patients issues were a direct mirror of the problems I was having in my own life.
10. Never restarted a patient's heart with a paddles or an overly dramatic chest thump after CPR failed.
