Big Brother

One of the rare opportunities when I get to play this role. Val definitely needed some advice about her future, so I layed it out there for her and she seemed to respond really well. I guess it's my job to be a little worried about her, but I'm fairly confident she'll succeed in whatever path she chooses.

Anyway, it made me smile today.

Thoracotomy

Well, this is what i've been waiting for. My first true "ER" experience and wow did it live up to my expectations. Multiple gunshot wounds, massive blood loss, chest cracking, cross clamping, suturing the heart. It was amazing how fast the doctors opened the guy up, closed up the wounds and stabilized the patient so that he could make it up to surgery. If that's not inspiring, I am clearly working towards the wrong profession.
All I could think about was how I wanted to be there, saving that guys life. I am dead serious. I need to work. I neeed to study. I have to focus. This is my goal and I'm gunning for it.

It's been a while ...

I think I need to start blogging again. Even if it's just a few lines. I'm not terribly too busy that I can't jot down a few of my thoughts.
I'm missing out on documenting the milestones of my life. For instance, I didn't blog about my white coat ceremony or the first half marathon I ran. These are pretty big event in my life, but I just didn't record it.
Well enough's enough!

Let's get this started again.
