Work

This is how work as a junior doctor should be.
 
Not intimidating.
Occasional laughter.
Busy.
Full of learning.
 
That's how the day was. We had a morning conference, which occurs every Friday am, and ends with breakfast. Then we rounded in the NICU, seeing the kids who needed echocardiograms. There was a bit of a funny conversation... One of the other registrars came up to me to tell me that the other day they were all sitting around, and my name came up, and that somebody was commenting on how much I had enjoyed the month. HA! That was funny.
 
Then we went on our Grand Round. Went to see all of the kids that are on the cardiology consult service. It was enjoyable to round with the 4 pedi cardiologists, and have great discussions and bedside teaching. Then it was back to the echo room to repeat echos on selected kids from our round, plus the 2 kids that we did consults on yesterday afternoon.
 
The day ended nicely at 3pm. Was able to pop into the gym, and have rented movies for a quiet night at home. There's been a small break in the rain, but the storms are threatening, so it's going to be a great night to just hang out at home.
 
Cheers.
