Wednesday night turned into a later night then it was supposed to be.....I got an admit at 9:30pm and headed to room 18 in the ER. i was told by my resident that the pt was a symptomatic anemia pt with a Hg around 4. so, i walked i looked at the chart and that was what i found, went into the room and started my interview. I was just finishing up my H&P on her at around 10:30pm when the ER attending came into the room and said hi, who are you? I told him i was the family medicine student that was admitting his patient and he said, "think you have the wrong room because I just called medicine to admit her. there is another anemic pt in room 20 that is probably yours, i would go check that out." welp, i left the room feeling like a complete idiot only to find out that my pt had  been switched to room 20 and this pt had the same problem, symptomatic anemia with a Hg of 4. god damnit. i ended up spending a hour with a patient that wasnt even on our service. got done around 11:30pm having gotten to the hospital at 10am.


Today I was on day admit so we rounded in the morning and then had the day to kinda do whatever basically waiting for admits. so, i decided to use my time wisely and spend it in the ER. I saw my old friend Krista from SDSU who was doing her ER rotation and hung out with her for the afternoon.  i ended up seeing a halo be put on to a man's head to stabalize his C spine fracture and then started an IV on another patient after asking the nurse very nicely if I could. hit it in one try, did a pretty good job i think. the nurse said i did a great job knowing this is only the 2nd one i had done.
