Post Anesthesia
Today was my last day of anesthesiology. I completely enjoyed my 2 week rotation. I learned a lot about anesthesiology and had a lot of fun. I have absolutely no interest in going into anesthesiology, but the concepts and skills I learned are very applicable to medicine in general, especially emergency medicine.
I have a few interviews next week, and a huge gap in my schedule right now. I won’t be starting pediatrics until February (very long story), so I have to plug in my schedule with some more electives.
The weather has been yucky the past few days, but walking home today was great. I figured out a cool new path to get home, which involves taking a shortcut through a park. As a parkophiliac, this is a very wonderful thing to me. Today, on my way home, a young kid asked me if he could borrow my cellphone to call his mom. Of course, I let him do so, and afterwards, he went on and on about how he wanted to get the same phone. He was probably around 7 years old…and he wanted a cellphone! I guess I’m old for even thinking that is strange.
Anyway, I have a bunch of errands to catch up on (including email replies) and other stuff to do this weekend. I’m looking forward to more interviewing next week.
I met a third-year med student today at the hospital cafeteria. She was so in awe that I was a fourth-year student, about to enter residency. I remember when that was me! How quickly things things change. And how strange and wonderful it is that the next step always seems the most challenging and amazing. Such is life!
Please enjoy the photo with this post. My discarded baby stroller addiction continues!

I love the pictures, keep em coming! I’m still surprised people throw these out! I was thinking, my daughters would have loved that one to have for their dolls! LOL!
I agree Anesthesia is boooooooooooooooring! I was able to sit in a couple or ortho surgeries and I talked to Director of Anesthesia I said I am pre-med I wanted to know what you do. Yah…Boring after he was done. It was okay, but there is no spark in my eye when I saw what he did and the other anesthesia doctors…yes the pay is great! Good and Bad that money does not drive me.
