one more week...

So i know that some of you are missing my posts. I want to apologize its been a little bit of a crazy week and i think that this next week will be just as bad. Part of me is actually a little sad since think i am being spoiled on my current rotation, the nurses are wonderful, the other doctors are usually smiling and willing to answer questions, case managers, social workers pretty much the entire hospital staff GREAT. Then i go to the other hospital (the main hospital) and nurses are rude, nobody gives you the time of day, and really they could care less if you have a question. Some of the nurses were given attitude to my attending. I really could not believe how she treated him...We walked away, and as we approached the elevators i mentioned that the nurses on that floor had some major chutzpa. My doc agreed, he said the nursing staff is just rude at this hospital.

So I think next month my life is going to have a rude awakening when i realize exactly how spoiled i have been. I normally average 35 patients a day, with an average of 10 in the hospital the rest in office. Some of my peers see only 2 or 3 patients. Soon i may actually have some free time in the hospital to learn my way around, and get some more hands on experience with procedures. Nothing to exciting has happened in the last few days, i am spending my time reading about patients and working on AMSA stuff.

Speaking of AMSA stuff, i am getting ready to launch a new campaign on sept 17th titled, Not My Property, an attempt to bring common sense and science back to reproductive health policy at the local and federal level. This is a grassroots campaign, focusing on local direct action projects connected to a central information center. We are setting up a website where people will be able to download information, share information, post video/ photo clips and have discussion about the current state and how to change reproductive policy at both the local and federal level. So be on the look out for a posting with a link to the website officially to be launched on sept 17.

Nothing else to report, so i am going to get back to Harry Potter!!! its sad this is the last book i will be reading about Potter :( good thing i can always read them again :) i am def under the spell of potter!!!
