Rotation Update

This Friday I finished my 3 weeks of ob in my ob/gyn rotation; now it is time for my next 3 weeks in gyn. Ob was definitely interesting. I got to see a lot of stuff and perform a lot more procedures than I did in peds but the hours are just so tiring. One of the peds directors told me to try to keep my mid open to all of the rotations and to not judge them based on the lifestyle but I don't understand how that is possible. In my mind you have to take every aspect of the rotation in mind including the lifestyle to really determine if this is something you want to do for the rest of your career. I worked a 24 hour call last Saturday and I got to see an exploratory laparascopy on a patient with a possible ectopic pregnancy...it was the coolest surgery I have seen yet. In my 3 weeks of Ob, I did get to help birth a lot of babies, normally and by c-section, and see how Ob really works. So overall, I liked Ob but I don't really think it is something I can see myself doing every day for the rest of my life. Now on to Gyn for the next 3 weeks.
Other than lots of work, Nat and I have been very bad and eating out every single night. I know it's bad but after a long day at work for both of us neither one of us wants to cook dinner. We've had some yummy Thai food, Mexican-like food and Italian. But to redeem myself, I did receive my Pilates DVDs in the mail today, finally!
I finally got a new cell phone...the pink razr. I know with my luck there will be some new cooler phone coming out very soon but I just couldn't deal with my old phone anymore.
Well, unfortunately I do not have any new pictures to share but I promise to do something picture-worthy very very soon.

Been a little neglectful!!

I know! I know! I have been very bad and have not updated my blog in forever. Sorry! Anyways, I have officially finished my first rotation on 9/22. Peds was awesome; it really was everything I wanted and expected. I am even more convinced that peds is what I want to go into. But I am trying to keep an open mind to all of the other rotations but between you and me peds is what I am deciding.
So peds finished with a written test and an oral test. The written test went well I think; the oral test, I got really nervous and kinda fumbled but hopefully did ok.
I started Ob/Gyn last week with my starting schedule of working nights for the entire week. It was a little hard to get used to, at first, but towards the end of the week I started to actually last through the whole night without getting too tired. Working nights is really interesting; I thought I would get to do a lot more stuff but for some reason it was very slow and I really didn't get to do that much stuff. I did, however, get to see some really cool c-sections and some normal births. This week I start day shifts which should be a lot crazier and busier. I am trying to keep my mind open about ob/gyn but I am starting to get the feeling that it is not really for me...too many night shifts and too many babies being born at 3am!
Other than work, Nat and I have been pretty boring. Nat has been working the medicine floors and has been working very long, tiring hours. Our weekends are filled with lots of sleeping and maybe some trips to the grocery store and Target. Fun, huh?
One piece of exciting news is that Nat got me the brand new pink iPod nano. I absolutely love it. It is so cute and it's pink!! I recommend everyone to get a new nano, they are tiny and so much fun. Ok well enough of rant, I will try my best to update my blog much more!!
