After a long day of anesthesiology, I’m pooped to the max. I have to create a presentation on neuromuscular blocking drugs for tomorrow, so I don’t have any time for sharing wonderful pearls of anesthesiology wisdom with everyone right now.
One random factoid that I learned is that opiates are the only analgesic/anesthetic agents that cause a decrease in respiratory RATE. Other drugs can depress respiration, but they affect the tidal volume or O2 sat, not the rate.
Also, I observed two toes being amputated today. Diabetes does horribly evil things.
Please enjoy all the photos in this post. I took them all on my walk home from the hospital today. A lovely trash pile with baby paraphernalia, and a bed and stroller that bit the dust.
Good night sweet world!




My name is Kendra and I am a fourth-year medical student attending 


Kendra, I really really hope to continue your blog (be it this one or another) after you graduate and become a resident. I love reading your posts, your advice. You are such an inspiration. I am taking my MCAT in May and will apply for admission everywhere: US and Caribbean in June. Thank you for being here on your good days and bad days.
Your avid fan!
Aww that’s cute what Ksenia Wrote.
The pictures are out of control!! When I first went to NYC i was like WOW how do ppl just have their garbage out side? I lived in SF and I never saw that type of set up either, but then again SF is very green. Part of LA you might see it bad, but not as bad as NYC with the trash out like that!
