Hours worked since Sunday: 60
Hours slept since Sunday: 20
I feel like I have been in coma for 2 days now, and I am on call tomorrow night in Labor & Delivery (delivering babies and scrubbing in for caeserian sections, D&Cs, etc.) for a 12+ hour shift from 5.30pm until 5.30am or later on Saturday morning. Off on Sunday and then back to work from 5.00 am Monday until who knows when.

Looking forward to starting my Pediatrics rotation, which begins a week from Monday. I'm liking OB/GYN ... but not sure if I love it. It is HARD work and the patient load is enormous. I have been asked by two attendings to come back to do another rotation in it, which in all probability means they may be trying to recruit me for a residency there. I am flattered, but still want/need to explore other options; for example, I still have to do a rotation in my first two choices, neuro and ER.

My rotation sched is as follows:
OB/GYN
Peds
Neurology
Forensic Pathology (Las Vegas)
South Africa, Hawaii (5 wk vacation!)
Surgery (beginning Xmas eve!)
Family Medicine
OMM
Internal Medicine I
Psychiatry
Internal Medicine II
