HECklle TICkle

Has been a hectic schedule last few days. Leaving home at 6 am means waking at 5, washing, bowel cajoling, packing, throat packing in a hour; and pushing off unobtrusively while others snuggle at their sheets.A half hour ride to backbay, then an hour and twenty minutes to Worcester, ten minutes walk to St Vincent. Ta Da.Give another two hours to the evening- your day is very much spent looking at the insides of MBCR coaches or the same scenery playing on outside the windows - hell at the same time everyday as the sun downs at the lake at Westborough so predictably at the time I choose to look out. Its like listening to the same audio cassette again and again with stop and ffwd buttons jammed.

At the hospital I have been looking at the innards of the people of the USA- the poopy tubes and farty parts, bearing with the shitty bits and the turdy curds of the denizens of the Worcester with colonoscopes, sigscopes, OGD scopes; seeing consults with the fellow... the h/p mostly laced with bowel vowels and of the rectum spectrum; reading a bit of Sleisinger/Fordtran. I have also being lazing around the hospital atrium when the resident/fellow is not around since I may not see a patient without a resident with me and so I am at the mercy of their schedule.I have attended noon conferences which do not excite much- but thats the only chance U get to impress folks there- so hell be awake. The place has a lazy air to it- morning reports are held at noon.But I dont mind really. Gives me sonme time in the morning.

I realise- the most hectic part is not hectic at all.Its just that it occurs (fatalistic me!) over such a spread out time and distance schedule. I shal try and figure out some easier schedule next week. It really pains me to spend $27 a day for the travel part anyways.

Monday I start ID. Thats a subject close to heart. I hope to see some 'American' illnesses there- Lyme, babesiosis, ehrilichiosis and the sort.Wishful thinking you may say. But its tick season I guess. Or at least people going to the tick areas.So why not?!
Good for me.Not good for the patient I guess.But ...twill happen......U know....I am in a fatalistic bent of mood now.

Till then.....its a weekend!!!!!!! I am not going to think about monday.No way.
