Of kids and long duties

My sisses and other medical students say that the clerkship Pediatric rotation is the most toxic. From my benign Family and Community Medicine rotation, I was really stunned by the load and long duty hours required by Pedia (and I keep saying that in my previous posts). I know Pediatrics is something that I'm not so into. To be fair, I enjoyed and had great friends especially my intern wardmates-they made Pedia so much fun!

The other day, I craved for some gelato despite the rain...

then, dropped of Starbucks to "study"

post-Pedia look, do I look terrible after a month-long toxicity?

I know I'll soon miss the toxicity high that Pedia brings. And how single "shout-out" words send rapid electrical impulses down your spine

Ward "CODE"-someone must be resuscitated, push fluids and do CPR

Labor Room and Delivery Room "FULLY"-someone will give birth, catch the baby 

Emergency Room "ADMISSION"-someone needs emergent attention, hope it's not a dying neonate

I'll miss my patients especially those in the Ward and Emergency Room since I had constant interaction with them. Though I rant on the toxicity of medical school, a "Thank You" from a patient or their parents remove all the stress and fatigue. No matter what I say, I know that medicine is really my passion. ♥
