Interview Season

"Interview season: zero money, hurts to be social, gaining weight from dinners, suit starting to smell funny, developing a DVT from traveling.... All for a job that pays less than minimum wage for 4 years." -Jessie

Great Week!

This week I saw my first open heart surgery

I saw egg retrieval from a woman's ovaries and then under a microscope, I saw those eggs get fertilized [in vitro fertilization]. I saw a fetus be created!!

I did several propofol sedations by myself [or at least, with Dr. G by my side "taking orders" from me]. I became much more comfortable with conscious sedation and think I will be able to do this very confidently in the future [thanks to him.]

I am so glad I came back for another 3 weeks, it really helped give me more confidence and experience in techniques I will be using in the ED [except for the open heart surgery and IVF. those are just for fun :)
