My anesthesia rotation is officially over. It was amazing! Procedures, little supervision as to what you were doing when you weren't in the operating room, everyone easy-going and just wanting to make sure you had a good time and got to do and see things! I am told that this is definitely not the norm. Now, to start working Working People hours! Working People! That's like...8 or 9 hours a DAY!! IN THE SAME PLACE! Ok, I have definitely been spoiled. I have yet to work an 8 hour day and am nervous about starting this crazy transition to the...dare I say...real world! gasp!
I have avoid said "real world" as long as possible. I have been told that LSU is more like Imagination land rather than the real world because they get money from the government and operate completely differently than private hospital. But all this aside, it will be a welcome change from spending 8 hours a day in two different places but always behind a book.
I am excited to start my Family Medicine rotation next. Of the 10 work days I spend on this rotation, 4 of them will be in Zachary, Louisiana seeing how family medicine works in a small, privately own clinic...a far cry from LSU's free care clinic. The patient population varies but so do the types of problems. This is why they are implementing these changes. (We are the first class to do this and are therefore glorified guinea pigs...well, not even glorified, just guinea pigs).
So I'll keep you updated on how things go. But I am definitely optimistic.
Also, should get my scores back next wednesday...at least that's what I'm hoping.
