It's been awhile.

I haven't been around for a ridiculously long time. And you guys left a few comments like, "At least let us know you're alive" and I was so busy and so tired that I didn't get around to it, and then I haven't had any comments for awhile, and so I decided that people might actually think I'm dead. I'm not. I'm just up to my ears in OBGYN, and counting the minutes until this one's over. It's disappointing, too - after the fun & educational experience I had with the family doc I worked with during my last rotation, who did a morning of prenatal visits and a day at the hospital delivering and rounding on postpartums and such, I was really looking forward to this OBGYN stuff. I just - I don't know. The people just aren't what I expected (not ALL of them - a few of the residents and attendings are really great.) And while I like all of my fellow students on this rotation, I still miss my 2009 class. This is my first rotation without them (most everyone else is in the class of 2010) and you know, I'd gotten accustomed to their faces. Oh well. At least I do like them, as I said.

But of course, the patients are still there. And y'all know how I love patients. So they make everything worth doing.

I miss writing - this week I'm on Labor & Delivery (days) and next week I'm on Night Float (which is Labor & Delivery at night.) Then the two weeks after that are fairly light as far as clinic/hospital work goes - they kindly give us some time to study for our NBME miniboard. But I may take a few minutes out of those light days to take a break from studying and recount some of the stuff that I've neglected to write about for eleventy billion years. Mwah!
