Anesthesiologists mocked me today

They asked me what year I was.

"Intern."

"Only what... 1500 more days to go?... ."

The thing is, I remember being out 8 days on my mission, and it felt like I'd been out forever. So maybe it will be like my mission, where the days are long, but the years fly by.

Today actually was pretty good. I scrubbed 2 cases in the OR, and got to do 90% of a sharp excisional debridement of the nastiest sacral ulcer I've ever seen. WE have a good team, and the hospital is pretty nice. So I guess it could be worse: I could have 1500 more days in a hellhole. That's what I'll keep telling myself...

Don't let'em get you down, just tell them you are part of the tremendous twelve and that should silence them. 5 years ain't nothing.
