So I started residency orientation and it's absolutely ridiculously busy. It basically consists of 8 hour days of team building exercises, PALS (pediatric advance life support) courses, computer training, and lectures on professionalism. And then there are the numerous social events. Sometimes I wonder if I fit into this extrovertedness that comes along with the career of a physician. You are with the same group of people all day every day and moments alone are rare. I am already starting to miss "me" time.
On top of that I am scraping by on litte to no money because I don't get paid for a while and student loans have been completely extinguished a long time ago.
I will be responsible for the lives of little children in Tminus 5 days which is more horrifying than invigorating at this point.
I am committed to learning as much as I can, saving more than a few lives, and trying to educate parents and kids. Will keep you posted, just wanted to update tonight. and verify that I am still kicking.
Kick, flail, kick
