And having said that, it seems quite obvious, but the full weight of it takes some reflection. He loved his betrayer. He loved His friends. I'm sure part of the agony in the ( Read more... )

I'm in the middle of my hospitalist rotation and it's really been forever since I've posted on here. Honestly, most of the time I forget this exists.

Prior to this month the most discharges in a single day that I had done was 5 with 4 to nursing homes on a single day, but this month on a regular ( Read more... )

My last month on my program's rotation was last month (we have 4 during intern year) and it was one of the more demanding rotations. I was supposed to have my last month in January but due to babies being born mine was moved back to accommodate ( Read more... )

Today I feel like a million bucks. I'm not entirely sure why. Partially is because I can compare it to how exhaused I felt yesterday. However, I today I was able to eat my full lunch at the lunch hour instead of at dinner for the first time all week. I got almost 8 hours of sleep because I wasn't on call and we had a late start morning by 30 mins ( Read more... )
