new friends

i have some new friends.
i like new friends.

i spent the weekend in the Big City with 3 coworkers taking our ACLS course (which actually ROCKED... we think all the horror stories we heard from colleagues was from before they implemented the new protocols).
and for the record, i didn't fail. I got 93%.

i scored myself a new doctor. now when Dr. Bushman leaves, i won't be an orphan patient! my new doctor is the one who implied that i was crazy. he's great!

i made new friends last night - "single digit" friends. i went to the OPT clinic because i'm supposed to be volunteering there but they never called me. i was talking to a girl i knew there and it turns out the both she and the nurse who runs the clinic have single digit ferritin levels too! she says we should all hang out. maybe we'll have protein parties!

i spent the morning in the OR today. yesterday when i was at lunch with the Resident, she mentioned that she was going to be assisting in the OR. i asked her to ask Dr. chickenlegs if i could observe and he said yes! Of course he put me to work anyways! The anesthetist was late so he had us all bustling about because he wanted to do the anesthesia (he's also an anesthetist but cant do anesthesia when he's the operating surgeon... which he always is unless we have a visiting doctor). Too bad the anesthetist showed up before he was finished and caught him in the act!

yesterday i brought a new friend home. he's a snowman. we're going to spend the day together napping on the couch and watching the snow fall. don't worry, he's an inside kind of guy!
