I finished my rotation in internal medicine. I said good bye to the med students and residents. I had a good lunch. I did the end of rotation evaluation with my preceptor. He said I was smart. That's probably what I'll remember from that conversation for a long time. I don't know why it mattered so much, but it did.
I went home. I didn't get home though. I got halfway home when I realized I had forgotten to put a dose recommendation in a patient's chart. I'd even told the attending physician I would get back to him on it. So I hopped a few buses (in a rather creative manner) and found my way back to the hospital. I wrote the note. I said goodnight to the nurses. I began home -- again.
I got home and made an amazing beef stirfry. I ate half of it. The recipe will be at the end. I then continued working on an afghan. I'm making afghans for the other two pharmacy residents. I'm about 1/6 done one of them right now.
For supper today I had grilled cheese and Campbell's tomato-vegetable soup. Mmmmm, sodium. Probably some trans fats too. Somehow I'm not dead yet.
Only 41 days and I'm coming home.
