Well as you might have already been able to tell based on the frequency of my posting, surgery was a pretty busy rotation. I think that we were supposed to be on a 80hour workweek, but in reality it seemed like it was much closer to 90hours/week. That 90hours/week does not included studying either. Anyway, it is over with. Trauma was a very interesting two weeks. There was a huge range of stuff from gunshot wounds, stab wounds, motor vehicle collisions, motorcycle collisions, motor-pedestrian collisions, jet-ski swimmer collisions, to falling from several stories. Emergency general surgery was not that intesesting. We spent most of our time taking out gallbladders, appendix, and draining abscesses.
This past Saturday was truely the first day in about two months that I have been able to wake up after the sun was up, enjoy a regular breakfast and then decide what I wanted to do with a free day. In the end, a group of us college, post-college guys from the area assemblies met up for some ultimate frisbee and tennis. There were nine terribly out of shape people trying to move around the field. It didn't help that the temperature and humidity were both in the 90's.
