Well, I got through my first day of internship without killing anyone, which is good. I am on the bone marrow transplant service, which means that everyone is sick as shit and knockin on heaven's door. Fortunately, I am working at the VA which means that the service is pretty light.
You know, a lot of people have bad things to say about the patients at the VA, but I personally like them... you can actually feel good about helping these people. They are otherwise good people who just had a bad run of luck with their health. It's not like county hospitals where everyone is a drug abusing pregnant homeless alcoholic with no desire to change. Alright, time for bed... till next time.

So, I finally graduated from Med School... which is in and of itself scary for the entire human race. I am starting Internship on friday, so I figured I would restart posting here to have a catalog of my Intern year experience. I am in San Antonio for the first year doing prelim medicine. My first rotation is going to be BMT (bone marrow transplant), which is good in the sense that it is a service with a relatively limited scope. Much better than starting on VA wards where shit can hit the fan with any patient that walks in the door.
On a happier note, my sister just had a baby boy last wednesday.... see for yourself. If you don't think that is a cute baby, then you have something seriously wrong with you.
