Nine days in a row, I'd be not only tired, but cranky!

[kim_cc]

I have to admit to becoming cranky. I was actually starting to voice all the snark I usually keep hidden. rueful grin

Hmmm -- just what we need. Tired, cranky doctors who resent us.

By the way, I'm working on a study with 140 cardiac surgeons, so I know it's just as well that you didn't become a surgeon. *g*

[kim_cc]

Well not resenting everyone . . .

. . . maybe some of the people who've had a cold for one day and haven't tried anything over-the-counter.

I have respect for most surgeons. Their willingness to work extremely long, hard hours and the deftness of hands required is beyond me.

It takes everything I have just to do simple suturing in the office.

Plus the gloves never fit me correctly. The fingers are always too long.

Oh, I've got a great deal of respect for surgeons, too, except for the whole "the rules don't apply" thing, and the assumption that among the 140, they're the very first priority, and the tendency to announce that the $200 a patient isn't worth their time, and that we'll pay them $1000 per patient...

I'm actually facing cardiac surgery, someday, to fix a VSD, so perhaps I shouldn't be interacting with so many of them...

As for the people who come in after one day or a runny nose -- can you get extra long syringes?

[kim_cc]

Well, I did say most surgeons. Unfortuantely the ones who are very arrogant are the ones most remembered.

Somedays I do want the extra long syringes.

you have my utter and total respect! It's good to see you're doing fine!

[kim_cc]

Thank you. Hopefully you'll be doing better.

[ucsbclassics53]

Thanks, I hope so too, but until I see the cats, I'll probably be the same though.
