It’s been awhile since I’ve posted a random daily update blah-blah post. But this was a little too long for twitter, so here I am.

Finishing up week two of my Neurology rotation today. Just about anyone that has followed this blog for any length of time knows how much I love the brain. I’m sort of surprised at my love-hate relationship with the rotation so far. Some things I LOVE LOVE and other things I just couldn’t picture doing for the rest of my life. Definitely the hardest part about being a neurologist in a hospital setting is having to tell loved ones over and over and over that their family member no longer has any meaningful brain activity. After all, if neurology is called on an ICU consult, it usually isn’t a good thing.

In fact, one of the physical therapists has come to recognize me and when he sees me looking at the chart of a patient he is scheduled to work with, he realizes they probably won’t be up to the task that day.

Partly because I always strive to do my best and partly because this particular attending is challenging, this rotation is working me pretty hard. Surprisingly hard. I got home at 8pm last night and haven’t even given email barely a glance all week. Thankfully, it’s Neurology. I don’t think I could keep up this level of stamina all month if it was a subject I didn’t totally love.

And thankfully, it’s Friday. Even though I have a ton of articles to write this weekend, I am looking forward to not getting out of my pajamas unless absolutely necessary.

But first! Today Brandon and I are headed to Babies ‘R Us to finally pick up our crib and changing table! By the end of the weekend, The Office might actually look like The Baby Room! So fun!
