Back to the daily grind

I've been lucky for the past couple of months, because my rotations have been pretty laid back and chill. Today was a hit the ground running, welcome back to the world of inpatient medicine. Well, I guess I didn't have to quite hit the ground running, but my inpatient team did. We had quite a few new patients over the weekend and a couple of them were critical patient's requring quite a bit of time.

Today was my first day of a month at UC Davis, on the family medicine inpatient service. Tomorrow is more like my first official day when I will have my own patient to follow and have a parking permit and a badge - the whole works...haha

Anyway I have a month of looking forward to 12 hr days. Rounds start at 7:30, but I have to see my patient's before that and I have sign out to the night team starting at 6pm, so I probably won't be leaving the medical center until 6:30pm. Wish me luck!

I'll blog as much as possible if interesting things happen and for sure every Sunday for the green challenge! How's it going - shutting off that water while brushing your teeth?
Not too hard of a change. And I thought of some more things that make it green - it's less energy to have to purify and pump that extra water to your faucet!

And...I am feeling much better than yesterday, but still have a little bit of a head cold.
