Inside of a week now – and only 3 days until we leave for Pittsburgh.
Well, we paid for the nice day on Saturday. It was truly a horrible shift. I admitted over 20 patients and lost track of how many I saw – I think 45 – which is absolutely ludicrous for a 10 hour shift. I’m lucky that we have great physician assistant’s here (PAs) as they really make my job a little easier.
I was really excited to watch the finale of The Sopranos, but was completely disappointed in the episode. I was expecting more closure and definitely didn’t get it. Maybe I’ll feel different when I watch it again.
My “to do” list is growing as expected – I’ll be busy up until the time we leave. I couldn’t figure out why it was so hard to get a room in Pittsburgh when I made the reservation months ago. One of my partner’s was lamenting yesterday that he was having to pay almost $400 a night for a room in Pittsburgh so that he could attend his daughter’s graduation from college. He said the rooms were so expensive because of the US Open being played at Oakmont (near Pittsburgh). That made the lightbulb come on.
Oh, come on….Mike sees that many nearly every day. Ok, ok, I’ll admit, some are just quick rechecks and usually aren’t dying. 🙂
We’re supposed to see an average of 2.3/2.5 hr. I had a couple of people that died – so it was really tough….
