It will get into the mid 20s tonight, with frost. And I don't yet own a windshield scraper.
Is it hot in Phoenix? Man, I'm going to miss those Arizona winters.

''72 Miami Dolphins or Lewis and Clark?
Most of you know that I have a brother in law who is a third year at Midwestern. He called last night because several of his classmates have heard that a group of students rv'd to Conshohocken and they are trying to get a group together. He was calling to let me know and figure out the logistics. I gave him Master Messner's website (as straight a shooter as you'll ever find). I am torn a little bit though. What do you think, should we be like the '72 Dolphins and their perfect record and hope that nobody emulates, or like Lewis and Clark, the trailblazers for others to follow?
Either way, The Legend Grows.

What my life in the hospital revolves around...
Two things:
1. The List
2. Unit clerks
The First and Great Commandment of Internship: keep the list updated. Common things told to any intern at my hospital:
"Take this person off the list."
"Have you printed me a new list?"
"Add this patient to the list."
"Why did you put this on the list?"
"Ummm... I lost my list." (medical student)
"It's time to run the list."
As for unit clerks, never underestimate the power they hold over your daily routine. They control all facets of your life. They control what (if any) orders get carried out.They control when you get to the OR. It's up to them to call you about new consults, which happens usually at shift change. (I can count on my pager blowing up at 5pm and midnight, every night).
Because of this power, they dictate when (or if) I'll get to eat, if I get any sleep on call, if I'll even get out of the hospital on time. Think you're safe when you're at home? Ummm, no. They'll call or page you whenever they need something, because when they need something, it's always urgent. And if you don't jump when they snap their fingers, you will get "written up". Beware the wrath of the unit clerk.
