you know you've had a great night of call when...
you leave with 4 more days than you started with. for some reason the three interns on the SICU service only had 6 days of overnight call the whole month and we had three full weekends off during the month, which was nice because otherwise the post call day when you leave after rounds (leave between 10 am - 11 am) is the only time you have off. well the attending on call on saturday heard the senior resident complaining about it and so he added 4 more days of call to all the interns schedules so now i'm q 3 call this month. i have a stretch later in the month now where i am call every other day for a week with only my post call day in between call days. the one good thing about working hard is maggie mowed the law yesterday. it was looking horrible because i hadn't mowed it in two and a half weeks. i can only imagine what my neigbors thought to see my wife mowing my lawn. oh well, i never talk to them anyways. yesterday i was on call and i had no senior resident in house with me. i was up all night with an admission to the SICU and the other patients trying to tank their blood pressures. i'm doing all this crap for these patients blood pressure with only minimal response but there still doing reasonably well, but i'm sure i wasn't doing an optimal job, and of course when the senior resident comes in in the morning he gets mad at me for trying to kill his patiens (those where his words). i'm thinking what do you expect from an intern. during rounds with the attending he just makes fun of everything i did for the patients during the night. oh well, now i'm home and he's on call. funny story...one of the other interns this month was on call with a senior resident and he was sleeping when the resident get paged. she came and woke him up and says there's a lot of stuff going on on the floor if you want to come help. he must not of wanted to help because he just stayed a sleep for the rest of the night. i wish i had the balls to do something like that.

Wow. That completely stinks.
If that guy asks you why you are trying to kill his patients, you should say: "Because I hate you."
Or you could say "becuase I am a DO" or " could I interest you in a pisi-form thrust"
Jason Maggie mowing the law is not much of a change from her, driving you around, changing the oil, painting, chopping wood, ect...
What kind of $%^& are you working with? Doesn't sound very fun at all. I mean we would have sat around making fun too but only because we are buds.
After the poison ivy maybe she figures you would be better off doing the dishes and laundry and she would handle the "manly duties".
What happened to the intern who decided to stay asleep?
